Yesterday, el Husbando and I shared our very first wedding anniversary together! We took the day relatively easy, sleeping in, going out for brunch, catching a movie (Murder on the Orient Express, highly recommend), but we had a nice dinner planned. And it was amazing.
We went to a seafood restaurant near Leicester Square called J. Sheekey. We had looked at a range of restaurants, but the menu here was extensive and also many many things looked delicious.
And the food was incredible. We started with drinks - an apero cocktail for me (which featured prosecco, lime juice, gin, and bitters among a few other things - like a cross between a gin and tonic and a lemon, lime and bitters) and a martini for el Husbando. His martini came with seaweed to enhance the flavour, and it was a really cool taste!
While we waited a little while initially for anything (about 10 minutes), our server was then very apologetic and attentive, and we were very well looked after.
For entree, I ordered prawn, salmon and tune tartare, which had a little cook but was delicious, and el Husbando loved his squid salad. We also split the salmon sashimi, which was phenomenal. Definitely the best sashimi we've had in almost a year (since whenever we last went to our old Sydney local Japanese). It was so melt-in-your-mouth!
For mains, I took the recommendation of the server, and ordered the herb grilled tiger prawns. They were perfectly cooked and again, delicious. I was just a bit sad there were only 4. El Husbando thoroughly enjoyed his grilled octopus, and we shared yummy chips too.
We even still had room for dessert - honeycomb ice-cream with chocolate sauce (el Husbando), and Bramley apple pie with ice-cream and cream. The cream was so thick and delicious, and we even had a glass of Saturnes each, it being a special occasion and all.
The best part? We just walk a half hour home to walk off some of the food, then we're home. What a lovely night.
