      Outstanding dinner experience that started with our waiter, Steven, who could sell ice to penguins in Antarctica. He professed Bentley’s to really have the best fish &Chips in London, swore his kids lives on it. He went on to recommend the fish pie and seafood stew as being the best in the UK, swore his wife’s live on it. Then highly recommend the lobster spaghetti, his dog. We tried all three (3) dishes as mains with the lobster spaghetti to share. All were spot on and delicious. Highly recommend this place for quality of food but also, high end attentive service. I will be back.

      Visited for dinner with my partner. He’s not a fan of ‘fish and chips’ so thought he’d try it at Bentleys to see if that changed his mind. Unfortunately it didn’t. The fish looked overcooked (the batter was quite dark), he said it was dry and not very tasty, and the batter seemed too thick when I tried it. It did not seem to me that it had been freshly battered and fried. I had the fish pie which was fine but nothing more than that. Overall quite disappointed and don’t think we will be back.

      From start to finish the experience was 1st class. The head waiter knew everything there was to know about the restaurant and menu and made it and amazing experience. The amazing food and oysters were only topped by the service we experienced. Highly reccomend

      My experience in this restaurant was very bad, our time for this booking was 9:45 pm and when we get there we was told we had to stay outside, we was waiting there for about 35 minutes before they can be able to finance a table and he didn’t give me table where I wanted to be , I was so upset that I’m waiting to get a table, and some people coming in and they’re going inside straight and they giving them table, I didn’t walk in. I booked a table and I pay £120 deposit. Table. I was so disappointed with the food it was horrible..

      We were here for New Years Eve. We were seated outside with a cold draft from two sides. The door to the kitchen was across from our table and there was a continuous stream of staff going in and out through a very noisy door. More disturbing was the parade of garbage bags and large garbage bins. I cannot believe that it does not violate some health department rules to carry garbage past dining clients. The floor show for our very expensive dinner. In the US would have filed a complaint with the Health Department. Bye the way, there were multiple empty tables inside. Food was fine and service was ok

      Excellent service, food and atmosphere at semi-reasonable prices considering the food quality.
