  • "You can smell the cigarette smoke from the smoking room, too."
  • "Atmosphere at lunchtime was a little flat."

  • "The venue isn't nice it's in a casino, so there are no windows, lots of hen dos because of Magic Mike."
  • "The place itself was full with screaming women after a magic Mike show and I could not even have a decent conversation."
  • "People watching the magic Mike show will come and go from there, so you constantly feel people walking behind your chair."

Value

Pros:

  • "The meal deal we paid for was total value for money and did not feel cheap at all."
  • "We went for the £15 lunch deal (lobster, steak, chips, glass of champagne and £50 'win chip'). Great value for money."
  • "An excellent rump steak and lobster main course, a so so Key Lime pie, and a glass of champagne, all for £22.50 inc service! A real bargain."
  • "Love this place, we do the steak, lobster and unlimited champagne for £30.00 and it’s so worth the money."
  • "The price is pretty average for London eateries but considering the quality of everything experienced it was definitely worth the price tag."
  • "One of the tastiest steaks I've had in London and reasonably priced too."
  • "Check out any special offers they have, it makes their food even more value for money!"

Cons:

  • "You will be spending £40 minimum."
  • "High price tags don’t just mean good food, but also good atmosphere, the place looks run down also."
  • "A bit on the expensive side as the menu prices are just for the basic steak and everything else is extra, the wine is also a little expensive."
  • "The prices for steaks have increased by a massive 50% since we were here last."
  • "Absolutely not worth the staggering price tag."
  • "Ridiculously overpriced for what you get. Avoid"
  • "Then the prices... ridiculously high!"
