our review

The team behind The Bonnie & Wild have launched another part-time restaurant on the same site in Islington. The Seagrass is open in the evenings from Thursday to Saturday and serves seasonal seafood from local suppliers and game from The Wild Game Co. The menu changes weekly and includes dishes like spiced Cornish crab bisque; pigeon breast with leek, mushroom and parmesan risotto; and sea bream with shrimp butter.

what the critics say

City AM

Tuesday, August 28, 2012 - I opted for the crab, served with a hearty portion of chips and salad. It may be a fine crustacean but it's hard to look graceful as you attempt to smash your way through its shell. My guest kindly looked the other way as a glob of boiling hot crab meat sprayed onto my hand. When I finally got it into my mouth, though, it was divine. The tender cut of venison on the plate opposite was even better. The Seagrass does the important things right. The service is good, the food is very good and, when you account for the bring-your-own-bottle policy, it ends up being quite reasonable, too.
