   £65 per head for starter and main and glass of Prosecco. Portions were on the small side, tuna overcooked, service slow and lacked passion and engagement. Atmosphere was lacking and lighting was too bright. Nice position on Marylebone high street and quirky through door of fish mongers to restaurant but feel thy could do so much more. Underwhelmed - We shall not be back in a hurry.

   I booked a table for eight to meet at lunch on a February Saturday to celebrate a birthday, and arrived a few minutes before doors opened to hand over a box of Lola's cupcakes to a friendly and welcoming maitre d'. My fault I hadn't double-checked that the special lunch prix fixe wasn't offered on Saturday, but everyone in the group found something delicious on the regular menu. The bouillabaisse was spectacular, with plentiful & varied seafood swimming (sorry!) in a very rich broth. Fish and chips were well-prepared, hot and crisp, while the chips also went well with soy-glazed grilled tuna. Service was attentive, keeping water glasses and the like well topped up. The cupcakes were unboxed and arrayed on a Fishworks platter, the candle lit, and everyone joining in a chorus of Happy Birthday. We were next to the window at the back of the room, well out of the way of other diners in a relatively quite lunch-hour -- I'm sure we were the most boisterous in the place but the space felt calm and peaceful nonetheless. Would happily go again.

   When walking into the restaurant, you enter through a fish mongers. There’s a discreet door saying Restaurant, which is a cute way to start your epicurean adventure. The fish is the main event, with the restaurant boasting the best fish and chips in the UK. They did not fail our expectations. The drinks are also nice, and the wine choice was plentiful although costly. Dessert of apple and raspberry crumble was great and they allowed a substitution of Vanilla Ice Cream instead of Custard. All in all a good choice/

   Another excellent meal at Fishworks, Marylebone. The seafood linguine was delicious and a very generous portion. The seafood grill was also well received. Turned out we didn't need the sides (spinach and chips) but they were very good. Atmosphere was lively in Wednesday evening but as the tables are well spaced, no problem with chatting. Service was friendly and attentive. No problems at all in attracting the attention of our waiter in a fairly busy restaurant. Looking forward to our next visit.

   The restaurant has all the fresh seafood displayed out front, so you can see what you’re getting. The table setup was simple. We started with the quinoa salad (3/5) and tuna carpaccio (2.5/5). The tuna was fresh, but the sauce was way too salty for me—pretty sure they used fish sauce. For mains, we had the seafood & samphire linguine (5/5) the seafood grill (3.5/5), and the veganesca linguine (5/5). The seafood pasta had a lot volume, and I really enjoyed it. Just wish I had asked for parmigiano since they don’t offer it. The seafood grill came with a scallop that I wasn’t a fan of because it had breadcrumbs on top, the prawns were decent, and the fillets were fresh and full of flavor. Thankfully, they were nicely salted. The veganesca linguine was freshly made, and the nuts added a nice crunch. For dessert, we got the brownie with ice cream (5/5) —it was perfect, gone in seconds. As for drinks, we went with juices since we don’t drink alcohol. They weren’t freshly made, but we didn’t really mind. The staff were attentive, but the restaurant can get really busy and loud. Overall, I’d recommend it!

   I have visited Fishwork multiple times, and unfortunately, this time the fish & chips did not meet the usual high standards I have come to expect. It was too oily, whereas the batter is normally light, crispy, and not greasy. Of course, an off night can happen, but I encourage you to keep an eye on quality and maintain the excellent level you usually offer.
