Best seafood lunch in the City. The fish selections are fresh and great. It will satisfy any fish lovers. The alcohol selection is also interesting. They have cocktails served in the tin cup, which is interesting. The staffs are friendly and helpful. The interior is reminiscent of an old English restaurant. It sort of feels like traveling back in time by 120 years to get a nice fish steak served with ale.

Sweeting's has been on my list for some time and it did not disappoint! Dining room is steeped in history, and whilst a little tight, was perfectly comfortable. Menu is straight forward and to the point - high quality seafood prepared perfectly and without fuss. Everything was delicious and generously portioned. Excellent wine list. Special thanks to Veronica who took great care of us, her menu recommendations were spot on.

Old school, but in the best way. No other way to describe it. Mostly counter seating, super fresh seafood. Execution is better than most. Had the smoked eel and skate w black butter.

Stopped in for a weekday lunch and to get out of the rain. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. This place gets incredibly loud at lunch, it's hard to hear. The sticky toffee pudding was the best I have had in London. The fish pie was good but a bit too salty for my preference.

This establishment is kind of legendary for all the right reasons. It is my first time here, mainly because is only open for lunch and it does not take reservations. However, it does not need to, as the place is constantly packed by either gentlemen of a bygone era, or city boys discussing deals. The food is classic, old school, cooked divinely, and the service is charming, fast and courteous without being too facetious. I had 6 oysters from Maldon, the fried whitebait, the scallop and bacon, the halibut with mustard sauce, chips and the Bakewell tart with chantilly cream. All if it was…
