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 palate.
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.

Brilliant food matched by brilliant service in a lovely setting.
One of the starters was too spicy for my pregnant wife, and was promptly exchanged without fuss almost instantly, so that we could still eat together.
The seafood dishes we had overall were decently portioned and expertly cooked.
Various attention to details from the service staff was a level above in comparison to other fine dining establishments we have visited.

Visited for a birthday dinner. It was an excellent experience. I ordered crab for starter but to be honest it was short of my expectations given the price point. I returned it, but was pleasantly surprised when it came back to my table after having under gone a bit of a zhuzh. It now looked less like a £5 shop bought dressed crab and tasted very good. For mains we both went for Halibut, one as the special. The portion sizes were first rate, and super tasty. The melting chocolate cake desert also hit the spot. I would have no hesitation recommending the restaurant and it could argue to have the

Had dinner there with my husband last night. He’s dined there several times before and really enjoyed it. It was absolutely great. From the moment we walked in, the hostess and coat check were so pleasant and friendly. We didn’t care for our banquette seat - it was a very crowded corner - so they found us a nice individual table by the window. The food was amazing! Fresh, tasty, well presented and good size portions. Our waiter was delightful. Professional, charming, attentive and appeared to be very happy in his work. The price of the meal with drinks was very reasonable we thought. Service

The food. 10/10.
Everything was cooked to perfection. Great flavours. Fresh produce. You can really taste the quality. The portions were larger than anticipated. And the chips, crispy on the outside and super fluffy on the inside. The shellfish soup got better and better with each mouthful.
The restaurant setting.
Beautiful. Loved the Christmas decorations. Seating was very comfortable. All the other diners seemed merry and happy.
The service. 6/10.
Bit hit and miss. Some of the staff could be more personable. Some of the servers were out of their depth/overwhelmed. There wasn’t really any

Beautiful, elegant restaurant, with exceptional service. Really comfortable, with crisp white linen. Great food, wines, cocktails. Our waiter Diego couldn't have been more polished, friendly but professional. All the food was delicious, but must single out the scallops. Large and cooked to perfection. A very varied choice of fish. Looking forward to another visit, I'd waited to long to return.

I can honestly say this was THE best seafood I have ever tasted!!! The restaurant is situated in a beautiful location overlooking the Thames. The staff are welcoming & friendly and cannot do enough for you - very attentive. The choice of food on the menu is amazing and looking at other dishes served to other tables, the food looked amazing. The prices are not cheap, however the food isn't either. The quality of the food is of the highest standard Definitely recommend Smiths!

Had a fantastic meal here. The view was great, service was excellent, the staff fantastic and had some of the tastiest food I have had in a long while. The portions were huge so I was glad I didn't have a starter, so if you are going be warned that the main course (before you add vegetable sides dishes) is substantial. The sides were excellent as well as dessert and I couldn't get enough of the Mandarin Behaviour cocktail! The only negative was due to the big open space all the sound bounced around the restaurant so it was often difficult to hear the conversation at my own table but this would
