Inspector comments
"Timeless seafood bar and restaurant in Piccadilly."
Overview
Open since 1916 and still shucking around 1,000 oysters a day in front of diners, this illustrious seafood bar and restaurant is a true Piccadilly institution. In summer, tables on the canopied terrace are much prized. The ingredients are second to none, the service slick and the wine list impeccably curated.
