Tuna tartare very good, swordfish main good but the chips were forgotten and had to be asked for. Seafood risotto quite good, needed a bit of garlic or onions at least (IMHO), I had to ask for fingerbowl which I shouldn’t have had to. No problem with quantity and variety of fish.

My 3 guests (family and friend) had a nice dinner starting fairly early 7pm on a weekday following afternoon theatre. We shared starters including fish tacos and smoked salmon which were all tasty. Diverse mains of pork chop, bone-in sole and mushroom pie were also appreciated and amply portioned. There was a bit of a lull between the starters and mains but our waiter took noticed and followed up. A good and convenient place to dine when you are out on the South Bank.
