   Really fresh fish is the Bonnie Gull strength and is the sort of restaurant that is great for meeting up with friends

   We enjoyed ourself very much. We liked the staff, sympatico and attentive. The dishes were delicous. I never had scallops before as delicious as those (divine) and the combination with grapefruit is very nice. Then a scrumptious main followed, accompanied by a good glass of wine. We`d come back anytime

   This back-street Fitzrovia restaurant calls itself a shack to warn you that it will be a homely rather than up-scale place, but don't think harbour-side fish stall selling whelks in polystyrene cups. Rather, the restaurant has a cosy corner-shop feel, with good plain furniture and a nice relaxed feel. There are seats outside which would make a nice place to eat on a warm day/evening. The blackboard map of the British Isles showing where most of the that day's fish had been sourced was a nice touch. Service was informal but professional, and the menu offered just enough choice to feel you had options whilst remaining confident everything really was market-fresh. Everyone in our party was delighted with the food, which included think chunks of turbot, Manx scallops, lobster raviolo and wild sea bass. The fish was cooked to perfection, and the flavours were well-judged. Perhaps some dishes would have benefited from a dash of intense sauce to excite the palette, but otherwise everything was first class. There is also a good wine list - majoring on whites, naturally enough - with choice across the price range. Overall a very pleasant evening - we will certainly be going back.

   Fantastic, tasty and amazing seafood. Friendly and simple service (maybe a tiny slow), but overall a memorable experience. Recommend and will go back

   Booked dinner at the Bonnie Gull Seafood Shack to celebrate an anniversary with my fiancee. Both of us being lovers of seafood we were particularly excited about going as there aren't too many seafood specialists in the capital that don't charge a fortune or who offer seafood as their main selling point as opposed to being an afterthought. Bonnie Gull looks as hipster as their name suggests although the clientele ranges from suburban families to hipster foodies to elderly revellers. A place for everyone then. We ordered the Roasted Seafood Platter on account of it's mouth watering description with a side of tenderstem brocolli with hazelnut crumb and their rosemary fries. The food arrived very promptly and looked spectacular. The platter (the table next to us decided to try to cold option and it looked equally as impressive) was a sight to behold with different seafood piled. The sides are also of satisfactory size and thankfully weren't the highlight of the meal. The seafood was cooked to perfection, the fish in particular being the perfect texture. Flavoured sauces and dips were available but the taste of the seafood au naturelle was sufficient to encourage a few 'Wow's from us both. The staff were extremely friendly, we had actually been late for our booking due to public transport issues but as the restaurant was fairly empty a table outside (this was in the summer - unseasonably hot day in May) was very quickly prepared for us. They know their menu and they certainly know how to sell you their dishes! All in all a fantastic place. This is a rare gem, there aren't plenty fish of this quality in the sea.

    We picked Bonnie Gull because we both love seafood and we saw that the menu sometimes included lobster and frites. We were in luck because it was available when we were there and it was delicious. The waiting staff were friendly and attentive and the service was prompt. We we will definitely return.
