   The food! Ordered the Calamari and Octupus tail for starters, a Mojito & a glass of Prosecco then starters arrived, the Calamari tasted like something you might find in a packet of crips, the texture of the over battered batter was hard like a crisp and the squid inside was minimal or even nonexistent one could say! The Octopus tail in the strange chickpea sauce or puree has been over whelm with the strange sauce and the Octopus tail had been sliced into two to make it look more than it was truly an over priced dish that tasted vile! My mojito I was informed after 10 or 15 minutes that they couldn't make it as they had no mint strange really as Nine Elms Market is not far away, I ordered a martini which took even more time to arrive. The mains we ordered which was a squid prawn seafood pasta dish which resembled something rather strange and we had to ask were the prawns and squid were (apparently they had been chopped up into the sauce ) my wife said it was very salty too, I ordered a rare rare stake as the waiter didn't seem to understand a blue stake and what was given was a medium steak which was sent back, a rare steak came back after 10 to 15 minutes with a potato puree and some insipid gravy to pour over your steak i didn't! I also ordered a gin tonic which was never served or billed thankfully. I think for a family with young children this might be a good eatery but for me it was a total inconvenience that I ever dined in this establishment Never again! they did take the Calamari of the bill without asking for for it. I must say the best experience was actually leaving the restaurant. Oh and I forgot the black cabbage which was order was another dish that never arrived one could be thankful maybe.

   We arrived slightly early for our table and were told it wasn’t ready which was understandable. However, despite being a party of six and having booked the table a long time ago it was still not ready within 15 minutes of our booking we sat down at three separate tables pushed together in the interim and then we moved to our table After about half an hour. It was difficult to get anybody’s attention to take our order, to get wine and water. Two of my guests went to the ladies and found there was no toilet roll in there and asked for it to be replaced but it was not done so by the time the next guests went The food was delicious and I can’t fault it however as I had organise this as a birthday celebration it fell short. Under the circumstances I think it was wrong of them to add 13 1/2% service to the bill which we did not challenge and paid.

   Came here for the Christmas Day menu. I have never been to Fiume before and if I could give more than 5 stars I would. They got it perfect. Four courses of top quality food, prepared perfectly, generous portions. Super friendly service. Dog-friendly. We were made to feel very welcome and this definitely will not be our last visit to Fiume. Thank you to all of the Fiume team for the perfect Christmas dining experience.

   The dishes were WAY over-salted. That’s it, but for some reason, there’s a 50 character requirement for reviews.

   We went as a family of 4 with 2 young children and the staff were lovely and friendly and very accommodating. The food was also fantastic and the location of the restaurant is perfect.

    Had a really enjoyable meal at Fiume - nice ambiance, busy but not crowded, open kitchen, lots of tables but not too close to each other. Some with couples, others with large groups. Tasteful decor. Service was fine, if not brilliant, and our waiter changed halfway through. Food was terrific - we were 3 including a 11 year old, who lapped up the kids menu. My other half and I both had a carbonara which was outstanding - really scrummy. They had desert, brownie and pana cortta also very good, I was too full. Overall lovely restaurant, and I noted there’s outdoor space beside the river which would be great in the summer. We’ll definitely be back!
