    *** 5th floor of a shopping center***…read more Food was delicious. Pricing was great. We shared the combo for two that included the lobster, burger and lobster roll. I also got two oysters, to try and I'm so glad I did! Ambiance was nice and our server was super friendly. It was saddening to see the lobsters in the tank, looking half dead and two fighting while one had a claw free. I definitely wouldn't have eaten had I seen that first. So I dinged a point simply for this reason. All in all, great experience.

    This restaurant is on the fifth floor of a food court area. Service was very lackluster. We had…read moreasked if we could get a booth but the front hostess said booths were only for parties of 3 or more. Yet, I see her seat a couple in the booth 15 minutes later. We went on a Wednesday night, and it wasn't even crowded with plenty of seats. The quality of the lobster was not good. I noticed the center of the lobster tail was a bit undercooked and didn't taste fresh. Also, the claws were very dry. I ended up getting a really bad stomachache after dinner that lasted the entire next day. Maybe I just got a bad lobster, I don't know. But for me, the burger was the only thing that was tasty here. All I can say is that I have tasted very fresh, juicy lobster at other restaurants compared to this place. For a place that's supposed to be known for lobsters, this establishment was a major disappointment.

    Fantastic experience!…read more I made a reservation for dinner after seeing The Hunger Games and am so glad that I did. The restaurant is nearly next door to the theater, so a plus for a great meal within a short distance. When I arrived my table wasn't ready, so I was escorted to the bar for a cocktail. I wasn't overly early so didn't expect to wait long but after a longer than expected wait decided to order at the bar. I'm a big people watcher, so the bar isn't ideal as your back faces all of the action. They have an extensive cocktail menu and because I couldn't decide i opted for my good old faithful martini. Typically there's a Sunday meal offering but they were out so I went with the scallops, the longhorn steak and Mac and cheese. The scallops were fantastic but the star of the show was the steak, I'm a medium rare plus girl but the bartender told me that because of the way the steak is aged there wouldn't be blood on the plate and that was the honest truth. The steak was perfectly prepared and I was sad that I couldn't get through half of it. The mac and cheese is extremely creamy and well prepared as well. Typically I'd take a star away since they forgot about my table. But once they remembered they came over and apologized. It wasn't expected but they decided to comp my cocktail, which was a great surprise. If you're in the wharf area I'd absolutely give the restaurant a go. There are other locations in London so know that you have options

    Absolutely delicious and delightful. The space is cozy and classy and redolent of Art Deco. Staff…read moreare wonderful - friendly, attentive (but not too attentive) and consumately professional. We went for lunch to celebrate my husband's recent milestone birthday and were bowled over. The oysters were bracingly fresh. His steak was perfect. For him, the highlight was the chips cooked in beef dripping: OMG over the top amazing! I had a Wellington with mushrooms and cheese (delectable) and a gorgeous Caesar salad. The sticky toffee pudding (my very first ever) was sooooo orgasmic! Husband had a strawberry tart that was fresh and creamy and served with a quenelle of mouth watering strawberry gelato. I was able to arrange a welcome drink for my husband on the OpenTable app. It came on a dinner plate with a happy birthday message inscribed in chocolate, and a single discrete candle. I cannot speak highly enough of the experience. We will be back.

We arrived a bit early, and were offered the opportunity to have a drink at the bar - the Siren restaurant is housed in an extension of the bar that is a solarium overlooking the garden. Martinis are correct, properly chilled without over-dilution (no small feat during these hot summer days). Moving on to our table for 2, we were greeted with crusty bread, seaweed butter, and whipped cod roe (in essence inspired by a greek taramosalata). We settled on baked scallops and the cuttlefish black pudding as starters. Excellent scallops, though weighed down a bit by an overly strong orange butter and breadcrumbs. The cuttlefish black pudding was created a very moist custard-y texture that is lighter and more succulent than the traditional version. That said, my personal preference would be that it did not eschew the seafood flavor in its goal of avoiding "fishiness". I would have hoped that the dish would retain certain flavors that would remind me that I was eating cuttlefish and its ink. But these are minor quips. We also sampled some of the best cockles and clams we had ever tasted. We had been presented with the day's special was a seafood platter with lobster, clams and cockles but could not resist asking if the kitchen could offer us just the clams and cockles - and they did, at very reasonable cost. Beautifully mineral and briny, these reminded you why one seeks out restaurants that can source the best seafood. The main was the Grilled Monkfish for 2, elegantly spiced, paired with 2 sauces - a tartare (light cream sauce with capers and shallots) and a crab sauce (an intense bisque). The first bites were pure meatiness, like the finest kebab of monkfish. Later bites revealed an intense spice profile reminiscent of a Chicken Tikka. Bravo. Service was good, not completely crisp but the staff meant well. Let's be fair it's only been open for a couple of weeks. Note: Visited on Sunday, July 14th 2019.

    Wright Brothers - Battersea - 3 oysters ($1 each)

    The food at Wright Brothers is good with okay value, but the environment is great…read more The thing everyone talks about is the £1 oyster happy hour, which is a great deal. I do have to say though, the oysters were far from the best I've had, as they were quite small and not very flavorful. Brixham cod (£30)- Pretty good and went well with the peas and crushed potatoes, but I don't think the portion size was really worth the price. Shrimp burger (£22)- Similar story to the cod, decent but not really worth the cost. I also tried 2 of the "lo and no" drinks (a fruity one and the virgin mojito), which were both quite good. The best part of this place is the nice location right by the River Thames and the Battersea Power Station, especially on a nice weather day. They have a nice outdoor seating area as well as a pleasant indoor space. The staff are friendly and attentive and the service speed is decent. Overall, while I do think Wright Brothers is slightly overpriced, I would be willing to pay the price if I can enjoy the nice weather and happen to be in the area.

    I was craving sea food and was in this neighbourhood. I have been to several Wright Brothers in…read moreLondon and I had never been disappointed before. However after ordering their biggest seafood platter (1 each) and fries, we left with a bill of £200 and we were still hungry. I was not impressed with how little was on the platter. The restaurant is in a nice location and it was pretty busy when we went. Service was barely there and making comments whilst looking at the customers - I was pretty shocked as it is such a contrast to the Borough and Kingley Court locations. I would definitely not recommend this location.

However, I need to warn my fellow Yelpers to stay away from Oliveto if you value Good Pizza! I mean, how hard is it to have good pizza!?! It is a simple staple which I have enjoyed in the US, in China and yes even in Italy. At it's most basic, it should be dough, sauce (doesn't have to be tomato necessarily), mozzarella and maybe some toppings, right? Here is where Oliveto went wrong for my mother and me: 1) they use cheap cheddar cheese - not mozzarella! 2) not a lot of sauce, maybe just enough to color it 3) the dough was soggy and didn't rise (I actually like thin crust, but this was inferior doug and 4) topping that were not as advertised, i.e. prosciutto should not look like and taste like store-bought sliced ham! Service was okay - the men like to talk about customers in their native tongue, thinking that patrons don't know what they are saying about them. We were so glad that we split a pie - most tables got a pie per person. Neither of us could finish this "pizza" honestly. Perhaps the only redeeming thing are the prices - this might be the cheapest choice in an otherwise expensive neighborhood.

    Great, great pizza! Staff is super friendly and efficient in moving tables. The sausage pizza…read moremaybe one of the best I've had in a while.
