HEY this place is good. North Londons slice of West End. Funky decor, cool ambience and great food. Had the Hot shellfish platter – sautéed in butter, garlic and parsley - ½ Lobster, Jumbo Mediterranean prawn, scallops, razor clams, mussels, baby octopus, Mediterranean prawns. WOW! side dishes and wine complimented perfectly. Best meal iv'e had in North London. Not cheap but worth every penny!

Most definitely my favourite fish restaurant in London.

Without gushing too much, the chefs know exactly what needs to be done to cook fish, and to cook fish well.

I've been here more times than I can remember, each time the quality has been pregressively better. A satisfying selection of starters and mains where you can pretty much rely on the waiters giving you enough information and choice for you to decide which to go for. Fish can be served on and off bone and cooked to your liking (where appropriate!). Around half a dozen sides to chose from, again cooked brilliantly.

Around £40 a head with wine and most certainly worth every penny. Shame that monkfish tail is no longer on their menu!

Sargasso Sea - a place to remember 14th August 2007

Perfection. Winchmore Hill was never complete until it became home to this superb fish restaurant.
Recently refurbished and with the addition of an outdoor terrace, it seems to just get better and better.
The chef here is a genuine wizard. He makes the simplest ingredients taste like the most sensational delicacies. The seafood platter is breath taking - the kind of dish you dream about from time to time. It keeps you busy for at least an hour picking your way through the wonderful selection of fish and shell fish.
Aside from the fish, they also offer the best Sunday roasts around. The roast beef is remarkably good, in fact, the best I have ever had. With the additional bonus of perfect gravy and imaginatively prepared vegetables, it quickly became a favourite for my family and a number of my friends.
The food is expensive, even the set menus are quite pricey, but for a special occasion, it really is more than worth the money - because you can't put a price on food this good!
