Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Lovely place with a bit of a buzz. Pretty slow in terms of service but the food was lovely and I would recommend that anyone goes. What is great is that you don’t feel that you’re being ripped off. Nice work

Great place to eat. the food was sublime, and the staff couldnt have been better. Theres not many better settings and if you want to eat somewhere you can feel at ease, listen to some great music, eat great good and relax, this is the...place to go. We had the pan fried skate wing, and the Assiette de Fruits de Mer , with a starter of calamari and it was inanely good. Would 1000% go again. thanks for a great nightMore

What a bit of luck. Had a couple of days in London and had no plans for dinner on our first night. We've been passed this place so many times and always thought we should try it. We strolled in quite late and were lucky...to discover there were just two seats left. We absolutely loved it. The fish soup was fabulous as too the tuna and skate. The butter with the bread rolls was fantastic! Will certainly return.More

Went here for a meal a couple of nights ago whilst in London. My son wanted to try oysters. Whilst eating his starter, the owner/ head chef ( who had popped in but not working) came over and showed him exactly what to do with...them, even giving him an extra one or two to demonstrate. It made his evening and what an amazing down to earth guy he was. Thank you so much! My Son then went on to have lobster which looked amazing whilst I had the Hake gnocchi which was so tasty. Husband has tuna which he said was perfect. We all had desert which were all clearly home made and equally beautiful. My son is now desperate to go back, we live closer to Manchester and have seen that there is a Randall and Aubin in Manchester so may have to give it a visit!More

A lovely restaurant nestled in the heart of Soho. Simply amazing fresh, seafood. Very attentive staff and a fabulous atmosphere. It’s a very small restaurant but nonetheless the quality of the food and service is exceptional.

We went to visit this restaurant on a Friday evening at 6pm. It looked beautiful and had a lovely vibe. Unfortunately this is where it ended and the rest of the night was pretty disappointing. Main courses arrived missing a side. But we were not...checked on again and couldn’t get anyone’s attention to ask for this. They did apologise and refunded us. Then with the desert the wrong flavoured icecream was bought to us. Again waiter dashed off and we didn’t see them again to rectify it so just ate it. When it came to the bill we eventually had to physically walk over and ask for it after waiting so long. The food we did have was very nice but unfortunately this just did make up for the poor service we experienced. I don’t think we will return.More

Truly awful service with miserable and ignorant waiting staff. We had a Pre booked table but given a corner of a counter by the toilets and two high seats. So not a great start. Appalling knowledge of any dietary requirements and no tolerance to being...gluten/dairy free with only one menu choice of tuna salad and frites (if I was happy to risk it) as they cook other things in the fat. Given they advertise as cater for allergens in their website - poor. Took over an hour to receive a cold salad with raw tuna and no dressing. A truly sad experience given the reviews we had read and booked four months in advance.More

Fabulous, buzzy seafood restaurant in Soho. We ate here this evening, and it was a busy Friday night. The place was packed, and the staff were incredibly busy, but the service was still great. It was a special night out for us, and whilst they...didn’t know this, we were still made to feel special. The food was delicious; wonderful fresh oysters, scallops, prawns and fish, all cooked in an open kitchen. Really good value too, and we loved the atmosphere. I’d go back in a heartbeat!More

Great food, excellent wine list and fantastic service. Just a great place but why why why the appalling, intrusive, loud, supposed, music. The pounding bass made everyone talk twice as loud as necessary. I know I’m an old fart and have very old fashioned views...about how to enjoy my food but when did restaurants forget what a restaurant is supposed to be. I’d love to say I’ll return but sadly I won’t. If you want to eat lunch in a disco, this place is perfect.More

I’m pretty certain that dogs will not be allowed inside the restaurant as it’s already pretty cosy in there. I would definitely call them with regards to dogs in the outside seating area.
