Fantastic little restaurant in the middle of Lyton. Great atmosphere, really good and friendly service and fantastic food! Would not be out of place in London or anywhere else. Steaks were superb, but other options looked great as well. Will definitely be back if I'm in Lynton again. HIGHLY recommended, loved it!

An absolutely fantastic steak restaurant. Went with pretty high expectations given rating, but certainly exceeded these. It's tucked away in Lynton, but would lead the way anywhere we've been.Service was impeccable, starters and steak (chateaubriand - shared between two) were absolutely top notch.Will be back 100%.

Tucked away under an art gallery this little restaurant is superb. The steaks are perfect, tender and tasty they were cooked exactly as we requested. There is an interesting selection of “sides and sauces” to accompany the steak. They offer a small menu, but all of the dishes are cooked to order and the chef certainly knows what he is doing. The staff were all charming and very efficient (the reading glasses available for loan are a fab touch). Prices are competitive and we paid more for less in other places whilst staying in Lynton. Booking is essential and I thoroughly recommend.

Lovely beef at a premium

The positive reviews for this place are very much deserved, but as well as amazingly cooked steak there are also very interesting and well thought out sides. Really enjoyable evening, would book this again if I'm down this way. Quite small, I would definitely

What a fabulous restaurant! We had the most delicious meal yesterday with family, to remember my late father. Liam was very accommodating when I rang to say that we were going to be a little late. The service was warm and friendly, and the quality and presentation of the food exceptional, showcasing local produce at its best. Unfortunately, we were too full to sample the desserts on offer but will be back soon!!

What an amazing place. The atmosphere in this small restaurant was chilled and friendly due to the welcome and excellent service from the staff, under the lead of the owner, Liam. The food was exceptional. We had the garlic king prawns and hummus to start, followed by a 500g Chateaubriand with two sides and peppercorn sauce. It was perfectly cooked and just melted in the mouth. We shall definitely visit again next time we're down this part of the country.

This is our go to restaurant when staying in Lynton and it retains its excellence and the friendly, helpful team headed by Liam. The monkfish is superb, cooked to perfection and fresh, light whilst taking on well the lightly spiced curried sauce. Carrots with anise and cumin are so tasty and such an inspiring offering. Salad was crisp and a good size. There are additions to the starters with the gambas deserving of special mention, succulent, fresh and cooked to perfection. Highly recommended.

We were visiting family and had driven 6hrs to arrive in lynton. I enjoy a good restaurant and good steak so my expectations were high. They did not disappoint in the slightest! To start we had sausage, prawns, ham and calamari. The sausage had no flavour to me mainly tasting of the onions it was covered in but apart from that the starters were top tier. For mains we had two steaks, the market fish and a burger. Sides we had truffle fries, fries, cabbage, and two rounds of the Mac n cheese. All of the mains were perfect! The steaks were perfect cuts, cooked and seasoned to perfection. The Mac n cheese is by far the best I’ve ever had. I joked I would have to make the weekly trip just to eat here, but in all honesty I now won’t visit without booking a table here. Couldn’t recommend more.

We were advised to book in advance for here, so glad we did as it is obviously very popular. The food was amazing as was the wine. Definitely would recommend but book well in advance.
