"The service here wasn't great."
"The service is oddly rigid as well."
"Asked the waitress what cocktails were available as we couldn’t see a list and she said 'the basics', also didn’t seem too happy with her tables of two… only interested in entertaining her large tables."
Food Quality

"Food was lovely and can’t complain how well medium rare the steak was cooked."
"The food was exceptional."
Cons:
"The food was pretty bad."
"The French fries were cold, the dessert was very small and tasted ok... nothing special..."
"The steak was a bit hit and miss, mine was perfectly cooked but my husband's was blue instead of medium rare."
"Our table also had swordfish and the fish and the vegetables that accompanied were way over salted."
"The steak was 88 day aged, far more than usual, maybe this should make it taste and smell off."
"The steak was weird taste for me."
"The steak was right a bit tasteless."
Atmosphere
Pros:
"The atmosphere was great, our waitress was lovely and the food was amazing."
"The staff are brilliant, the food is another level and the location fabulous."
"Overall, good atmosphere, good food."
"The atmosphere can be a bit loud but if you get seated on the lower level it's entirely acceptable."
"The atmosphere was different, being inside the casino and overlooking the gaming floor, but this gave it a kind of nice buzz."
"The atmosphere was fantastic with great views across the casino."
"Amazing atmosphere, quality decor and great service."
Cons:
"If your idea of a fun night out is to be surrounded by the cackle of hen parties drunk and freshly horned up from the Magic Mike show, THIS IS YOUR PLACE."
"You can smell the cigarette smoke from the smoking room, too."
"Atmosphere at lunchtime was a little flat."
"All you can hear is rowdy drunk women coming out of magic Mike show."
"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."
