The place was not particularly busy on a Friday and I am surprised as the food was pretty fantastic.
I must say that I started with some oysters, first time trying and I shan’t have again, not for me and I struggle to see why someone puts that in their mouth and goes “bring me more”.
However the lobster Mac and cheese is honestly outrageous, the lobster cooked extremely well, fresh and garlicky, with a side of arguably some of the best Mac and cheese I’ve had, super indulgent but as it’s treat day why the heck not, really well presented in a pan. I will certainly be back again in the future
The only things that were reasonable were the starter calamari and the sides.
Customer service by a young boy was lovely however the manager treats the staff horribly, creating a tense atmosphere
The seafood linguine was lovely! The mac and cheese was really great too. I probably wouldn't order the soft shell crab burger again but it was decent. The portions were pretty good, we even had some left to take home. We would definitely return and perhaps next time try the fish and chips.
We ordered 1 cod and chips and 1 cod burger. Both delish! Arguably 1 of the best fish and chips I've had. Regularly checked on us to see if everything is okay. Patient when we asked our hundred questions about the menu.
I live pretty far away from hampstead and would happily come every week. Highly recommend. 5*s 10 out of 10. Really made such a good impression as you can tell from my review.
Definitely going to go back for the Lobster roll or even if it's just to pop in and say hi to such amazing staff.
