   Always fresh fish beautifully prepared. Lovely oysters, great tuna carpaccio, delicious scallops. Very friendly and attentive service. But it was completely empty (three table or so apart from us) which made it feel too quiet. Otherwise highly recommend.

   This restaurant has been refurbished recently and .sadly, the large open fish counter has been substantially reduced spoiling a major feature of the business. In spite of this and the number of new staff, the quality of the food and service remains excellent. This venue is great for lunch and dinner and is a favourite of ours.

   The food, was really good. They were good portions. The soup and seafood platter I enjoyed. It was quiet but had customers for lunch on Saturday. Would go again.

   Love the food here - delicious and beautifully presented - very helpful staff and reasonable prices considering the wide choice and quality available - great fish bar and lovely cocktails My only slight criticism which is not the restaurants fault at all - is that it was only about half full so the atmosphere is slightly flat as it’s not buzzing like some other restaurants - there could be a small improvement made to the lighting which could be very slightly darker and perhaps some quiet background music ? I think it wasn’t full because it’s slightly off the main beat of the area down Swallow st so less people come in off the street as it were which is a real shame as it’s really good food and the staff were lovely

    From Lunchtime Mishap to Dinnertime Magic! Tried to have lunch at Fishworks today, but it looked like things had gone a little… sideways. Tables were empty, staff were flustered, and from what I gathered, the party had somehow moved outside (whether by accident or design, I’m still not sure). For a second, I considered setting up a picnic on the pavement, but before I could commit, Kate, the lovely manager, swooped in. Instead of just apologizing and coming up with excuses, she did something even better—she invited me back for dinner. And thank goodness I returned! Prawns? Divine! The fish? Perfectly cooked. And the best part? Watching Kate and the chef in their element, passionately preparing a special plater dish for a big party next door. What a duo! And we got some tasters!!! Would I come back? Absolutely! Will I bring more people next time! 100% Fish does work here!
