    Very noisy, very crammed in. One steak had to be rejected due to being more fat than meat. Should never have been served. Waiter very good, used to really enjoy coming here but sadly won’t be returning

    What a fail! Was not notified that it would only be the set Valentines menu only available at time of booking. Was only notified of the at 4:45pm on Valentines day. Due to allergies no alternative could be provided on starters. Fillet steak was ask to be medium rare but came out medium to well done. Although we were told that we only had the table for 1&1/2 hours. The service/food was so slow that we were still waiting on dessert 1&3/4 hours into booking! Waited for drinks and water for table 30mins after arrival. There were plenty of servers, I assume the kitchen could not cope. I will not be returning or recommending.

    Great experience. Food was lovely (except the spinach which was a bit too blended for my liking and presented as a sauce - I'd have preferred garden peas I think) but everything else was delicious, fresh and perfectly cooked. Service was friendly and calm - not pushy. Ambience good. I do miss table cloths at restaurants but that's the modern way. Very good - enjoy a very nice meal out here.

    So let’s start with this is a Steak restaurant which charges London prices, in-line with the likes of Hawksmoor and Flatiron. If we take this into consideration you would expect the food and food quality to be that of these establishments. We attended for an important birthday, all started well with service and wine, starters came out, slightly late but arrived. When we came to main course 3/4 steaks came out nowhere near cooked as ordered. Sent the food back and waited an hour for it to return despite being told priority had been put in place and saw many other plates taken past. By this time the remaining person in the party had finished meal and just sat around. Steaks returned still not entirely cooked as you would expect for said charges but by this time it was past 10pm despite having the booking for 7:45pm. Quite frankly felt embarrassed at the way the kitchen was clearly being staffed and manned. The only saving grace was the manageress who could sense our embarrassment and did all she could to rectify the situation, thank you to her. Overall an awful embarrassing experience to which you really would not expect for an upper range steak restaurant situated in a tourist hot spot.

    We have eaten here quite a few times and decided to go here for a special Birthday treat for my wife as it has always been great. On arrival we were sat directly on a table outside the toilets with no other space readily available. Not ideal but we didn’t complain. The starters were lovely and served quickly. The main was delivered as soon as we had finished the starter… the plates hadn’t even been cleared. It felt extremely rushed to be honest. The main ordered was chateuxbriand medium rare and was served almost raw blue. Not great and was told it was medium rare when questioned about it. Not going to rush back I’m afraid.
