    We dined at Fishworks pre theatre and had a lovely meal. We ordered from the Christmas fixed price menu, the choices were limited but the dishes we chose were very nice. The main course was a little slow in arriving but fortunately we had plenty of time. We would certainly recommend dining here.

    ミュージカル前の軽い食事でしたが、生牡蠣、エビも大変新鮮で美味しく味付けも良かったです。 wineもすっきりした味わいでシーフードによく合いました。

    Our waitress was very nice and the food was good. It did get very noisy and it was quite pricey for what it was.

    I went to Fishworks Covent Garden for a pre-theatre dinner. Only one other couple was in the restaurant at 5:10 when I entered. The staff were welcoming. When seated, I asked for the menu; I was presented with the a-la-carte menu, ......I had to ask specifically for the pre-theatre menu ! I ordered off the latter menu. The waiter didn't even answer when I asked about the price of oysters but proceeded to reel-off the different types of oysters they had....no mention of the offer of 'oysters @ £1.50 each' advertised on a blackboard outside. I assumed that the offer applied and ordered #3 oysters of different types and requested these before the 'starter'. The oysters arrived at the same time as the starter! They were very small and nothing special. My whitebait starter was very good, as was the main of mackerel; though there was little evidence of cauliflower puree which was supposed to accompany the mackerel. When the bill arrived, it showed #3 oysters charged at £5 each [not he £1.50 on the billboard] and a "Service charge of 12.5%" ...... no mention of whether the service charge was discretionary, so I asked and was told "Yes, it's discretionary". Irritated at these 'sleight -of-hand' processes i.e. oyster prices and service charge, I asked for the service charge to be removed, paid the bill and left with a bit of a sour taste in my mouth !! Raise your game, Fishworks !!
