"The lights were very bright. I'm used to more romantic lighting in a steak house."
"We got the impression that the heating had been turned off or was broken down."
"The whole atmosphere in the place was very toxic. I found management staff unprofessional, rude, and argumentative to customers."
"Need to look at their seating arrangement as we were a little disappointed as we were having a romantic meal but then they seated several families around us with small children and students."
"Staff, particularly Nadine was abrupt, cold and the entire establishment was dark, cold and very unwelcoming."
"The room temperature always feels colder than other steakhouses which does affect my enjoyment of the meal."
Value for Money
Pros:
"4 of us enjoyed the lunch menu which is great value; 2 having 2 courses and 3 having the 3 course option."
"All names were added to the food that was ordered so there were no confusion about who had what."
"We had 2 course Lunch time menu. Superb value and fantastic food."
"Great food for portion size & quality."
"The price is quite high at £32 a stake but its well worth it I would have paid more for the stake its probably the best stake they have done in my opinion"
"Steaks done to absolute perfection - it isn't very often that my 80 year old mother cleans her plate completely!"
"The Christmas menu did not disappoint with succulent Turkey and the most amazing lobster pate starter I've had in a while."
Cons:
"Very wonkey table, dirty toilets and broken hairdryers in both Male and Female toilets."
"Not very impressed and definitely not good value for money."
"Very disappointed. Not a place we can recommend :-("
"The additional premium pricing for the location is a bitter pill to swallow and that takes away from what is a pretty good dining experience."
"Both experiences have disappointed me especially with how much the meal cost, I don’t mind paying the costs of the meal if it Warrants paying that much but I can honestly say it wasn’t worth it."
"After paying nearly £40 after discount wasn’t happy."
"Overall, we feel that we did not have an experience that was equal to the £100 that we paid for our meal."
