Restaurant review: Wright Brothers, Soho

The oysters were good, but poor service and prices erratic stops Wright brothers take flight

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

Some types of restaurants have a vocabulary and grammar of their own. oyster houses in urban areas are such. It is of brick and bare floorboards scrubbed. These are men with arms like oak trees RATES meat from shells, and counter service. Eating alone in such home of the oyster is what Jews call a mitzvah, a blessing. Or do if oysters are not allowed. My, but the Jewish god is a terribly difficult eater.

The Wright Brothers Oyster & Porter House in London Borough Market ticks all the boxes. Looks like he knocked all the contents of an architectural salvage shop on a busy weekend. It has weight and strength. And oysters are good – the owners have custody of lakes in south-west of England that produces some of the finest examples, including native Duchy. And if this suggests an adoration of bivalves from me on the edge of obsession, I do not apologize. A taste for oysters, for the slap dirty washing of the sea in your language, is one of those indelible markers of adulthood. I'm not sure I could never really love someone who does not at least as oysters.

Now Wright Brothers opened a second office. There are tables upstairs, but downstairs, it is all self-contained meters and an open kitchen, giving a view of a hot man action to shellfish. He is consciously laid-back, an exercise in snub to fancier joints. This brings with him a number of issues, including price. At the heart of the menu is one of the fruits do-it-yourself sea – to make you a plate of crab, knives, whelks, etc.

This does not mean that you can see the price of everything and some of them more popular. They charge £ 4 for a pleasant but not especially large lobster. At Scott and J Sheekey they charge £ 3.75; to Terence Conran is equally upscale limits they cost £ 3.33. Similarly, while import prices of native oysters is at about the same level, they do not on their standard menu is one of rock oysters cheaper. It makes dining here looks a little exclusive, and unnecessarily. However, the Duchy and some small indigenous fresh Kumamotos, is found only in the Pacific Northwest, delivered exactly what we wanted.

The rest of the menu is a mix of standards, such as fish pie and whitebait, and more sophisticated dishes. Charge £ 9 for crispy calamari rather good looks opportunistic. However, £ 11.50 for a big bowl of their thick, delicious fish stew, liquor receiving end of a large acorn and swimming with shellfish, was a godsend. I was less keen on their sardines on toast, each flourished and spread thick with garlic and parsley parsley, and grilled. Sardines are butch little blighters which can take some serious heat. More about me was the portion size. There is no claim that the restaurant does not know what I was doing there. I met one of the owners, and it was near the door when I arrived. So does that explain why everyone who ordered the sardines on toast two, and I had three? Had I not been sitting near the kitchen, I can not be clocked the actual size of the antenna, and could have assumed that it was better value than it actually is.

It works both ways, because our service was not at all. Finger bowls were not delivered with our lobster, and our wine order was forgotten. If this happens to me when they know what I am doing, what he says about service to others? At the price they are charging, these things should not happen to anyone. Wright Brothers Soho is a welcome addition to the offer in central London. It would be superb. But it has become really need to refine what he does. Or, to push the metaphor too far, he may have obtained its vocabulary and grammar right, but his accent is just not perfect pitch.
