    We love this restaurant but the service was lacking this evening. No plates, wrong cutlery and empty glasses. We didn’t pay the service and the manager was very gracious. Real shame as it was a rare evening off for us with grandparents babysitting.

    As usual, all of the dishes were flawlessly executed and absolutely delicious. However, they really let themselves down on the service side this time. It was not up to the usual standard. It is tricky coming in mid afternoon; they didn’t have a clear service plan and there was no single person looking after us. There was one person and then she went on a break and then another person and then he went on a break and then a third person came along…. It felt chaotic and wine glasses were not topped up, orders were not taken timely. A standard lunch took almost three hours to complete. To their credit, eventually toward the end a nice gentleman asked how we were getting along and when we gave him this feedback they bent over backward to apologise and try to make it right. I do love it there and will forgive this lapse.

    J Sheekey’s is always elegant and welcoming. The food is delicious and the wine list is excellent. We had a delightful, long, celebratory lunch and the service was perfect.

    Fantastic bar with great cocktails. Wonderful seafood menu. Mildly attentive, weight staff with dramatic taper in attention by the end of the meal.
