• Seafood • Ongar
Booked 27 times today
Priding ourselves on our motto ‘Famous for fish’ Smiths Restaurants is a name that has become synonymous with fine dining and quality, attentive service. Our restaurants are located in Ongar Essex (just off the A414) and Wapping in central London (near Tower Bridge). Both restaurants boast an extensive menu of fresh fish that we offer to cook in a variety of ways to suit every palette. We also offer locally sourced meat dishes to accommodate those who prefer their food terra firma. To compliment the quality of our food we have worked closely with well renowned independent wine merchants to ensure we have a selection of wines that are the perfect accompaniment to every meal. The only problem you may have a Smith’s is being spoilt for choice.

    Really nice new spot in Dagenham, such a great addition to the area! As someone who lives in Barking and Dagenham, it's refreshing to see more aesthetically pleasing venues popping up. The space is clean, intimate, and has a great vibe, which I really liked. The DJ was excellent and inclusive with the music selection, not just Afrobeats, but a good mix of other genres too, which is often missing in many African lounges and bars. As for the food, I only tried the suya. It wasn’t bad, but I’ve definitely had better elsewhere. Service was generally fine, though I do feel that if the venue were busier, the team might struggle a bit. We ordered a few bottles of champagne, and unfortunately, each one was served warm. Just a note — champagne should always be served chilled. The ice bucket is meant to maintain the temperature. That said, I’d definitely go back! It’s a lovely spot with lots of potential!
