The beef is delicious. All sides are good too. Would recommend there. Ask to be in the main room as the other room usually used for private event does not have the same vibes - decoration and atmosphere could be better.Nice staff.

Everything was lovely until the staff decided to switch all the bright lights on just as we were starting our desserts and then they stood and stared at us. It was only 10pm and the restaurant closes at 11pm. Made us feel very uncomfortable and forced to leave. We would’ve had one last cocktail.. but we didn’t feel welcomed.

For the price I paid for the lobster mac n. cheese, I expected something better, more special. It was good but not great. In general, we had a really good time and the staff was super helpful and friendly.

The location is great and the service / servers were friendly and attentive. The food is a bit disappointing though. The steaks themselves were good but didn't seem well seasoned; the wedges just seemed overcooked. The desert (brownie) was an odd temp, with the chocolate sauce warm but the brownie itself chilled / cold? Just made for an odd combo of hard cold brownie and warm chocolate.

Make sure you look how they want you to even if you just go in to book a table or they will tell you they’re fully booked. Checked the website and they had every time available. Terrible professionalism.

Great atmosphere and great service, the manager was expert at pouring wine and very friendly too.Nice fried calamari as a starter but beef carpaccio should be better as it needs some nice olive oil on it.We had tomahawk and it came with sauces and sides too, paid extra for prawns which was worth it. Nice crispy chips and wedges, chimichurri sauce could be better. Steak was beautiful and perfectly cooked, quite juicy and tender too. Good enough portion for two people.

We were very disappointed. We were placed in an over flow room with no atmosphere, we had very inexperienced waiting staff who were seen arguing who was going to take our order. It was very clear that they didn’t want to. Our food was very delayed and when it did come out, was just ok. We had high expectations, as the restaurant had been recommended, but in no way did it live up to standards. We were one of 4 tables that I complained whilst we were there, one of which had to walk out as their food was over 90 minutes late and had not even been put through to the kitchen. Such a shame, but we will not be returning

Disappointing steakhouse.The scotch egg is alright, not the best I’ve had. The meat filling tastes like floury sausage. Personally I’d prefer meatier version. The crust is light and crispy, thinly dusted with breadcrumb. It may taste better with more thickness. The garlic dressing is too pungent and can be quite overpowering.The waiting time between starter and main is long.My friend ordered medium “marbled” ribeye. It was more than well done (sarcasm). We had to saw it with the knife. Almost nothing pink. Many tough tendons. (An elderly gentleman next table choked when eating his steak pie..)Wedges… burnt. My friend asked if they were sweet potatoes, but no, just poor regular potatoes scorched under the broiler (oven temperature definitely too high, the inside is still slightly raw/starchy). As a potato skin lover, I have to admit this is bitter and tragic. Didn’t anyone in the kitchen see the sad lava color? The chips weren’t crispy enough but what a bliss.Lobster has nice buttery seasoning but is also over cooked. A little dry and rubbery.The best part was the grilled tomato.Service was friendly. Seats are quite tight.
