We had a booth which worked well for my older parents and gave them a bit more comfort. The staff were all very nice, helpful and attentive. Lamb, squid, oysters and sea bass were all very tasty and the drinks flowed well too with Asahi and Peroni on draft for me. Slightly pricier than my last couple of trips to Hornchurch and similar unnamed restaurants but we were glad we tried Onyx for the first time and we will definitely consider returning.
