The Ark review by MR AND MRS SCOUT
Ignore the bad reviews! this place is a real gem.
The fact that this place is packed out even on week nights says it all.
We went last night and want to go again for lunch it was that good!
Gill who is front of house was warm, welcoming and very efficient. Yes you have to wait for a table, but the bar area is plesant and bar staff quick to serve, the atmosphere from both staff and other costmers is inviting and friendly.
We were seated sooner than we ecpected, and as it was jam packed that surprised us, we were even offered our prefered table.
Lucy our waitress was a star, friendly, attentive and gave good advice on which dishes to have.
We had oysters which were so fresh, lucy even washed a shell for us to take home as it was a special occasion.
Then came the mussels and grilled king prawns, absolutley delicious.
We both had a special of grilled John Dory, perfectly cooked, a wonderfull meaty fish.
The chips were crispy and hot, and we had mushy peas, which is a must. (as we are both from 'up north')
The portions are generous, everything is cooked to order, so fresh hot and great value for money.
Staff worked very hard but managed to be friendly cheerful and attentive. Great atmosphere.
This was our first visit and will definatley be going again and again.
Wendy and Chele, Wanstead.
