Square Meal Review of J Sheekey Oyster Bar ?

Once home to a bookshop, shells have replaced shelves here, with a tempting one-page menu of fishy favourites providing the reading material. Despite the age gap, this bijou stripling is almost as much of an institution as big brother Sheekey’s next door & exudes a timeless elegance – thanks, in part, to hip designer Martin Brudnizki’s clever styling. Wood panelling, deliberately aged mirrors & classy monochrome portraits of showbiz stars create an aura of understated glamour that makes the place a smart pre-theatre choice. Feast on creamy Cumbrae rock oysters, a crustacean-laden plateau de fruits de mer, classic crab bisque & Sheekey’s legendary fish pie, or go for a succulent shrimp & scallop burger. All washed down with a perfectly chilled bottle of Champagne – there are 14 marques to choose from.

    I visited the Oyster bar for a decadent christmas lunch and it was very enjoyable. Apart from the great atmosphere & bar design that gives a timeless elegant feeling to the room, the service was attentive and pleasant and the food rocked. We indulged in superbly fresh Oysters (half a dozen fines de Claire & half a dozen Natives), smoked salmon and crab and washed it all down with champagne. A great lunch followed by a great nap.

    Made our first visit Friday 12th Dec 08 for a quick birthday lunch. We had half a dozen oysters, 50g of caviar, some smoked salmon and a bottle of champagne. The new Oyster Bar is fantastic! It was very busy so there was a great atmosphere, they have extended sideways by knocking through from the old bar. There is a bar with stools running around the centre and just a few tables along the front, all very compact but just perfect for what we wanted. If there is a very big group in a party it would be quite tricky but for two or four it's fine. The food was lovely, the champagne gorgeous and as always – service was with a smile! I couldn't recommend it any higher.
