If you love seafood, you will fall in love with Wright Brothers. We came here with family and tried several items on the menu. They were all amazing. The oysters were extremely fresh. The fish pie was perfectly seasoned and piping hot with a cheesey, golden mashed potato crust....unlike any I have tried before. The cuttlefish and black ink rice entree, as well as their octopus, tomato, almond, and capers appetizer were artfully executed. It requires a great deal of skill to cook octopus or cuttlefish without overcooking it and coverting it to a rubbery nightmare. Compliments to the chef. His execution of these dishes was phenomenal. Both were tender and flavorful. Lastly, the cocktails. The selection of cocktails is limited, but they too are amazingly well executed and well thought out to perfectly compliment the menu selections. My only warning,..this place is tiny, so expect a bit of a wait, but it will definitely be worth it.

The restaurant feels like you have been washed up into an upscale beach club with cabanas reminiscent of tulum, mexico. The menu has buckets (or course) of all kinds of seafood, but lots of beautiful plates to share and sandwiches as well. I had the tuna tartare with seaweed crisps and fish finger sandwich (I substituted the salad which had a savory dressing reminiscent of a Cesar salad). Clean, quick, and the bartender's tiki drinks are a force to be reckoned with. I would gladly return.

However, on deeper inspection - the Cow is a marvelous dining experience - complete with an extensive wine selection, rotating specials, and a bespoken approach to food preparation. The food? Well, it's British pub fare - with a slightly divergent menu on Sundays. Everything is fresh and beautifully plated. The bangers and mash was exceptional. The green bean salad was so unique and popping with flavors, I scribbled the ingredients list in an attempt to reproduce the dish at home. The atmosphere is hopping - it's a small pub ambience and there is not any wasted space. Not to fear, the delightful staff can help find a table for your party. I was a bit intimidated walking in on a Sunday night all by myself. My trepidation quickly went away as the server made it easy to relax and enjoy my evening. As a small aside, I sat next to the small kitchen space on the main floor. To see the amazing plates being prepared one after the other in that tiny kitchen, well . . . that was an amazing experience in and of itself. Chapeau to the chef. Truly a masterpiece to put out such accomplished food from a space no larger than most bathrooms.

It is a bit far from the center of London. # Ambiance Dove has a modern homely feel, supporting comfortable seating with plenty of lighting, setting the stage for a nice little candlelit dinner. # Food and Drink Roasted Romanesco Cauliflower The cauliflower was quite a bit smaller than expected for 2 pieces of cauliflower for 21 pounds. The cauliflower itself is more on the salty side, but the sauce and grapes help to balance out the salinity. Duck fat fries The fries were hands down the best part of the meal. The size of the fries were perfect and they were nice and crispy while maintaining a soft pillowy interior. They were also well seasoned and didn't need any sauce. 30-day Tamworth Pork Double Loin Chop The pork chop is an interesting situation where it takes over 45 minutes to prepare due to the sheer thickness of the pork chop. After the wait, the pork chop just ends up being just alright. It's nicely cooked and served with some kind of jus. Ultimately this dish would've been eliminated on Culinary Class Wars because there was some sinew in the pork chop. Ginger Beer This ginger beer was the most expensive one I tried and it just ranks third out of 4 ginger beers. The flavor is more tame than I'd like.

Incredible service, perfect food. So happy to have them around the corner! I absolutely love Pescheria Mattiucci! This new place open around the corner from me and at first glace I though it was a new fish monger opening up on a very hot piece of real estate, but then walking by at night I saw people dining there! It's a fish monger by day, seafood restaurant by night. It is run by a family from Napoli who import fresh fish from the family fishing boat. Each day there is fresh fish of the day that was just caught. The owner is super friendly and more than happy to tell you all about the day's product and recommend the best wine to accompany it. They have a couple outposts in Italy and this is their first venture outside the country and it is a huge hit, especially with the neighbouring Italian competitors. At first I thought it was another place that would shut down 6 months later, but I have found myself back here time and again, each time saying "this is THE spot, the best local!". I recommend just putting your meal in the hands of the owner who will most definitely come by your table (there are only about 6 or 7 tables) and order what he suggests as it changes daily. There is always a veggie starter dish that is excellent! Highly recommended, usually consisting of 5 small tasters, and all very well though out. If you have a complex of not mixing fish and dairy (with the obvious exceptions) this place will change your mind. I feel so lucky to have this around the corner, in fact I am about to run out for some fresh fish to cook in tonight! Definitely swing by when you're in the neighbourhood.

We actually walked up to another restaurant for a second meal as we were still hungry. Tip: Avoid this place.
