Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Islington

Nice authentic Peruvian food, we enjoyed a Saturday lunch in this restaurant. Big portions, lots of food!

Visited the branch on Valentine's day with my wife. It was very busy but the organisation of the staff was levels above. They handled the busy period with class. We had a booking for 10pm and was greeted by a member of the front of house staff. We were both handed drinks menus and offered seating while we waited for our table. Within a few mins the front of house staff placed us in a beautiful cosy part of the restaurant. It was my first time in Sticks N Sushi and so far the experience was so calming. The décor, created such a relaxing atmosphere and table and seating were so comfortable. We ordered the special Valentine's Koibito "the person you love" Menu, as it was our first time. It gave us the opportunity to try a variety of dishes at once. A very friendly and knowledge member of staff with short dreadlocked hair, helped explain all the dishes we would get, matching the description's to the photo. (a classy thought). The ENTIRE menu was so delicious, but the stand out dishes were: Starters LOBSTER & IKURA UDON Lobster bisque with lobster, ikura and udon noodles GRILLED EDAMAME Supreme soy & soya sesame KANI KOROKKE Crab croquettes with wasabi Caesar ------------------------------------------------------------- Maki SOFT SHELL Soft shell crab with masago & spicy sauce ------------------------------------------------------------- Desserts MATCHA Dark chocolate fondant with matcha core, vanilla ice cream & matcha cookie crumble ------------------------------------------------------------- A recommended place for an intimate meal with your loved one, especially if you love Sushi. The staff and decor really make this place, along with the food of course!

The pizza base was so good! And the pasta tasted great as well! Loved the service :)

Amazing food, friendly staff, sat at the counter and watched the chefs at work. Romantic but buzzy atmosphere! Loved!

A very nice experience and first time dining at Blacklock. The service was very friendly and prompt. The food quality was also excellent and the steak delicious. I believe larger steaks would have been better and the odd (non matching) plates on our table was an unusual novelty. I would go again to Blacklock, however, note that the meals sizes arent large (unless sharing) and the Soho restaurant was also very noisy.
