As we are in Miami, we have been to that Sexy Fish many times. And to be honest, the original London one definitely needs a little facelift. Came here almost 10 years ago but now it seems a little dated compared to the over-the-top Miami interiors. However, we came here for Sunday brunch and it was a great value. Starts with appetizers of tempura prawns and hummus and chips. Then the unlimited sushi/sashimi/hot apps buffet where anything sushi and the beef skewers and deviled eggs are highlights. Then a choice of three mains platters and gorgeous desserts after. Great vale for 68 pounds each! Excellent service from the great staff!

Nice place with an incredible bar and cocktail menu. The service is warm and concerned. The atmosphere is suitable for small tables. The cocktails ans whiskies menu is very interesting and plenty. Now, depending on the area you are the chitchating of others may become a noise. Be aware. Two things to improve, from my modest point of view: some tables need better light to be able to reed the menu proerly and please reduce the amount of ice on the cocktails: makes difficult to drink.

Pleasantly surprised. This was a wine bar with pizzas rather than a pizza restaurant with wine. Great ambience. Muted dark blue colour scheme. Very relaxing. Friendly staff. Tasty fresh pizzas. Great place to meet friends. Even though in Covent Garden, not horribly overcrowded. Don't order drinks from your seats though, as you'll get a service charge. Would go again.
