    Fantastic bar with great cocktails. Wonderful seafood menu. Mildly attentive, weight staff with dramatic taper in attention by the end of the meal.

    Food and ambiance perfect as always!… our waiter was sort of inexperienced and not up to J Sheekey usual standard service, but was well meaning. Excellent experience overall!
