![Zomato]( "Recensione")
we love our family, friends and food not always in that order! but find a place to bring them all together and share some wonderful memories is really what makes us happy- we recently had our anniversary and my wife's birthday so decided to make a special trip into London booked a show and looked for restaurants - big choice difficult choice but decided to look at a few reviews, luckily we found Applebee's and booked
we decided to get early to the market and spent a hour or so wandering round tasting samples of what ever caught our eye or our nose.
we arrived by chance outside and saw the Applebee's restaurant sign with a que of 20 or so and thought wow will we get in? on closer inspection the restaurant have a hot plate cooking seafood in wraps and the aroma's were mouth watering and attracted a lot of hungry souls.
although a full hour early we decided to look at the menu and see what the restaurant looked like as this was our first visit
The fresh seafood board was full of delights and after viewing were about to leave for further market shopping when a friendly face with a broad smile approached and asked if he could help, after a brief discussion he offered to bring the full menu and the drinks list and showed us the table where we would be sitting it was occupied by regulars he approached them with a ripple of laughter and a few minutes later we were seated and chatting to Jack and deciding what wine to have with our dinner
Jack's knowledge of wine was exceptional and after a few photos were taken we were left to enjoy one of the best meals we have eaten, stunning.
we have arranged for our friends and family to meet again at the restaurant in September and are looking forward to the experience and meeting Jack again
it was a real pleasure with a vibrant market tumbling past and to find the sanctuary of a beautiful seafood restaurant with great staff and a first class owner Jack it was an experience we will treasure forever.
As the subject of recent culinary trauma, I felt I needed a bit of a safe option for a meal. Hence we decided on Applebys. Hopefully no surprises here as no polling agencies were involved (unlike *cough* Brexit) but the general commentary seems to regard it favourably. Skipping straight to the mains, we decided to go heavy on the seafood at this fishmonger-by-day, fish-restaurant-by-night shop. The hope was that they would not be busy serving the slops of the day but instead would be eager to prepare exquisite cuisine.
I enjoyed a late lunch here with a couple of friends. In short stick to what they are good at ... Fish! I went for the surf and turf and the steak was not good. On the other hand the lobster was fantastic. Lovely and sweet and buttery.
Half decent wine list and good service. Simple interior.
