Food Quality and Taste

Pros:

  • "I personally had their burger and mac and cheese for the first time and the burger did not disappoint at all. It was juicy and tasty."
  • "The food arrived in good time and was delicious, I enjoyed every mouthful."
  • "The steak was very tasty (a tiny bit chewy but for the price it's very good). The mushroom sauce was great."
  • "I love the side dish Crispy bone marrow garlic over the steak lol. The taste is just amazing!"

Cons:

  • "I was disappointed with the portion sizes. They were so small for the price we paid and we were still hungry when we left."
  • "So today I thought I'd have a flat iron steak. Unfortunately, the flat iron in the cut is a total let down."
  • "To be honest, I didn't understand the rating. This was literally the worst burger and steak I've ever tasted."

Ambiance and Atmosphere

Pros:

  • "Dimly lit and romantic with amazing food!"
  • "The branch at Waterloo is spacious, and when the weather cooperates, it has a few outside tables as well."
  • "Really beautiful place and had the best steak I’ve ever tasted."

Cons:

  • "I found the atmosphere very very noisy, largely down to one table that was allowed to be rowdy."
  • "It's only OK. I found the steak tasteless and it was expensive for the size."
  • "Nice place, good food and the sides were amazing. Drinks and service was very prompt. Only downside would be I think we all expected the steak to be a little larger."

Price and Value

Pros:

  • "A steak lunch and a beer for £23.50, what a bargain."
  • "Everything was a reasonable price and the restaurant even try to accommodate those that can't eat the steak."
  • "Standard flat iron steak is good, but try the special ribeye, it was sensational."

Cons:

  • "They also added £30 service charge on and a little onto each meal (there was 7 of us). No idea why."
  • "Do you know the stakes you can find at Sainsbury's? They are 225g. The Flat Iron Steak and the Special Scottish Bavette (which was extraordinary) are 200g each. Could they be a bit bigger? Yes, they could be a bit bigger."
  • "Food portion was very small and expensive for what I had."
