My fish was very fresh, but it was served hot on a bed of chilled potato salad, which caused the fish to get cold very quickly. It is however, a very friendly bright little eatery and I will definitely return as it is easily reached by Underground as Shields Road station is right at the entrance. Also, the Fish Shop is there too with wonderful selection of fish. A most pleasant little place, but small and therefore advisable to book your table.

Lovely small fish restaurant . It's right next to Shields Rd underground and the multi storey car park so access is easy. The fish is fresh with a good choice on the menus. Great value lunch and pre Theatre menus . The staff are very friendly and athe restaurant has a good wine list with several choices of both wire and red wines by the glass.
