We had a fabulous time in Sexy Fish London. We were welcomed at the front door and taken to the desk where we were greeted by friendly colourfully dressed staff, they took our coats and bags which were safely locked away and we were able to relax and enjoy beautiful food and drinks ☺️ thank you

I had an incredible experience at Daphne’s . The atmosphere was elegant yet inviting, and the staff were warm and attentive from the start. I couldn’t get enough of the tiger prawns—it was absolutely delicious. The conservatory seating was such a lovely touch, adding a relaxed but refined vibe to the evening. I’ll definitely be going back—it’s a fantastic spot for a special night out.
