As we are in Miami, we have been to that Sexy Fish many times. And to be honest, the original London one definitely needs a little facelift. Came here almost 10 years ago but now it seems a little dated compared to the over-the-top Miami interiors. However, we came here for Sunday brunch and it was a great value. Starts with appetizers of tempura prawns and hummus and chips. Then the unlimited sushi/sashimi/hot apps buffet where anything sushi and the beef skewers and deviled eggs are highlights. Then a choice of three mains platters and gorgeous desserts after. Great vale for 68 pounds each! Excellent service from the great staff!
