Restaurant review: The Wright Brothers, Soho

The oysters were good, but poor service and pricing will be unpredictable to stop the flight of the Wright brothers

13 Kingly Street, London W1 (020 7434 3611). Eating for two, including wine and service, £ 90

Certain types of restaurants have a vocabulary and grammar all their own. Urban oyster houses are just such. It's all scrubbed brick and planks. It is men with forearms like oak prizing meat from shells and counter service. Eating alone in this kind of Oyster House is what the Jews call a mitzvah, a blessing. Or would do if oysters were not prohibited. My, but the Jewish God is a terribly picky eater.

The Wright Brothers Oyster & Porter House in London's Borough Market pulls out all the stops. It looks like it was made up of the contents of an architectural salvage shop banged on a busy weekend. It has weight and durability. His oysters are good – the owners have custodianship of water in the southwest of England, which produce some of the best examples, not least the Duchy natives. And if this points to a worship of the shells for my part, hard on the obsessive, I have no apology to make. A fondness for raw oysters, for the dirty laundry and put up the sea on the tongue, is one of those indelible marker for adulthood. I'm not sure I ever really love someone who did not at least as oysters.

Now the Wright brothers opened a second branch. There are tables above, but below all is free and open kitchen counter, so a plan view of a hot man-on-shell action. It is relaxed, of course aware of an exercise thumbed his nose at trendy joints. This is a few problems that brings, not least on price. In the heart of the menu is a do-it-yourself fruits de mer – just collect a plate with shrimp, clams razor, whelks, etc.

This means you can see the prices for everything, and some of this on quotas. They charge £ 4 for a pleasant but not particularly large lobsters. In Scott's and J Sheekey's, they charge £ 3.75; at Terence Conran's the same high-end boundary, they cost £ 3.33. Likewise, during their home-oyster pricing quite eye to eye is what they do not have to be on their standard menu, all the cheaper of the rock oysters. It makes eating here look a little exclusive, and so unnecessary. That is, the Duchy of locals and some cute little Kumamotos, usually found only in the Pacific Northwest, delivered exactly what we were looking for.

The rest of the menu is a mix of standards, such as fish cakes and fish remains, and refined dishes. Shop 9 pounds for pretty good crispy squid looks opportunistic. In contrast, £ 11.50 for a big bowl of their thick, juicy fish stew, the fleet boasting a great peppery end and swimming with clams, a bargain. I was less keen on their sardines on toast, each open and spread with a thick garlic and parsley, parsley and grilled. Sardines are butch little guys that can take some serious heat. More about me was the portion size. It has no use pretending that the restaurant does not know what I'm doing. I have a taken by the owners, and he happened by the door when I arrived. This also explain the why all the others who ordered sardines on toast had two, and I got three? If I had not through the kitchen I was perhaps not the true size of the shell have clocked, and might have assumed that it was better than it actually is worth.

This works both ways, because our service was not all. Finger bowls were not provided with our langoustines, and order our wine was forgotten. If this happens to me when what I know and do there what they say about the service for others? The prices they are charged, should not these things happen to everyone. Wright Brothers Soho is a welcome addition to the offers in central London. It could be superb. But will that really needs to fine-tune what to do's. Or, a metaphor to call, it can be vocab and grammar have understood correctly, but his accent is not just pitch perfect.
