Very happy with our meal here. Especially enjoyed the mussels and the monkfish wrapped in bacon. Given the quality, quite reasonably priced.
Absolutely fantastic lunch, wonderful service - very friendly and helpful - and the oysters were to die for - we will be back very soon.
Our second visit, had a beautiful fruits de mer, a great selection that was both fresh and so tasty, a must for seafood lovers. There was more than we could possibly eat so came home with a substantial doggy bag. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this restaurant and will definitely be visiting again .
Very fresh seafood and nice cozy place to have a relaxing Saturday lunch in the refreshing sea breeze. The staff is exceptionally friendly, and highly welcoming. We had a perfect time enjoying the oysters, scallops and the perfectly prepared fish.
Great food. The staff were very friendly indeed but the restaurant is clearly understaffed. The owner (?) is ‘a character’ and appeared to be the only person in the kitchen. It’s certainly worth a visit but only if you’re not in a rush. The location is imperfect, but there are some good views, if you block out the flyover and tractors.
We took this on high recommendation from a work colleague and we were not disappointed. A hidden gem of a restaurant near Southend. We had the most incredible fruit de mare with all sorts off add ons not mentioned in the menu. An excellent choice of wines and superb inviting waiting staff. The chef was also extremely friendly ensuring everything was too our suiting and all too keen on ensuring our table was stacked with food. Will return VERY soon I'm sure!

I have never written a review in my life but after visiting this restaurant and reading the negative reviews I just had to write something. My girlfriend and I drove to Leigh from London on a whim for a day out and stumbled across this place. We just wandered in and they found a table for us straight away. I didn't expect too much as a quick google revealed a three star rating but the food that followed was nothing short of divine. I had scallops for starter and smoked haddock for main and the balance of flavours was absolutely heavenly. I told the waitress that it was one of my favourite meals I'd had in ages and the chef (I presume the owner) came out to thank me personally for my comments and talked to us about the food. The whole experience was just lovely. I have eaten at some incredible restaurants all over the world and this place definitely holds its own against any of them. I would highly recommend that you ignore the negative reviews and go and try it for yourself. We can't wait to go back.
While I did not take pictures, I cannot express how good the food was. I had the sea based fillets on a bed of pesto served with sampire. It was wonderful. There was a large group of us.and we were all happy with our meals. The chef came out and checked regularly to ensure our meals were good. Perhaps he was a bit long winded, but it was nice to see one care a lot. From presentation, delivery and quality, the experience was wonderful. I would go again. Only recommendation is to have menu make GF options as it was not clear for one of our party.
Fantastic food complemented with the best service we've received in a long time. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. We went there to celebrate my partners birthday with our nine months old baby and we were all very well looked after, our little girl received special desert created by the chef especially for her 😍 it's the little things, five stars well deserved in our opinion.
Excellent restaurant with very fresh seafood, large portions and terrific owner/ chef in Mario, who personally greets all customers. A few errors with the order were quickly corrected. My turbot with samphire and a shrimp and caper sauce was really wonderful, as was the grilled skate another of our party ordered. The fish and chips had that proper chippy taste. I'd definitely go back to this lovely little place.
We have just moved to Essex from Sussex so are experimenting
Superb food, cooked to order so don't expect fast food.
Chef and owner came out regularly to chat with customers. Clearly very passionate about fish.
We had a walk in lunch and are more than satisfied with the quality, service and price
We will defiantly be returning again
Can not give any thing less than 5 stars for this restaurant. Service great and prompt, food was absolutely gorgeous, very accommodating we arrived very early for our booking but not a problem. Marios the owner greeted us and was very warm and friendly nothing was any problem to the staff. Will return again and would recommend to any one
My partner and I have just enjoyed a fantastic meal at simply seafood. Food was outstanding and the service was wonderful. We came out with a massive smile on our face and full bellies. I am going to highly recommend to all my friends and family. Thank you for a very lovely evening!
The staff were wonderful, and my friend's fish were fresh !
The steak was 1st class -(but was a bit miffed at paying extra for sauce for it).
For the best fish and chips we have had in a long time, this is the place.
As expected this is a restaurant and paying prices, but they have a takeaway on the side.
What a great experience. Food superb expertly prepared the whole Turbot is simply Devine. Staff superb. Mario's the owner is a star. If I am ever visiting I will certainly fight for a table. Thank you very much.
11 of us came here for my Dads 80th, fantastic food, owner was so helpful and very friendly.
We took a surprise cake and they came out of the kitchen with it, lit the candles etc.
Couldn't have been more accommodating, a great evening enjoyed by all.
Looking forward to visiting again
Had the roast salmon with new potatoes,quite possible the best salmon we've ever had.Sauce was delicious,and the veg cooked just right.
The cheesecake for dessert was very nice too.
This is the second time we've been there and will definitely be back.
