The Ivy owners have stepped in and revamped this legendary fish restaurant, to create an intimate interior of small corridor-connected rooms. Luxurious leather-banquetted booths are wistfully overlooked by black and white stills of movie stars on the panelled surrounds. Enjoy upmarket Jellied eels, caviar, French and Irish oysters, or Soused Arctic herrings with Swedish mustard, followed by an ingenious blend of traditional favourites with more modern representations, offering anything from Fish Pie to Salmon Fishcake with Sorrel Sauce on a Bed of Spinach, or Risotto of Scottish Girolles. The large, lustrous flakes of the Herb-Crusted Cod are testament to a perfectly executed dish, especially with sides such as Crisp Pommes Allumettes and Sweet Carrot Purée. It makes an exquisite after-theatre treat, and desserts like Scandinavian Iced Berries with White Chocolate Sauce are indescribably good. Sheekeys gastronomic haven magically evokes a bygone age of gentlemen's clubs and quality living.
