John Dory's

What separates a competent seafood restaurant from one that consistently gets it right comes down to details most people don't consciously notice. John Dory's track record shows fish cooked to temperature without drying out, sauces that complement rather than mask, and sourcing that prioritises freshness over convenience. The difference is visible in how the kitchen handles delicate white fish versus meatier cuts, how they manage their ice and storage, and whether daily specials reflect what's actually available rather than what's on a static menu. Experience in this category means understanding that one mediocre batch of prawns damages reputation far more than one excellent risotto builds it. Consistency matters more than ambition.
