Food Quality

Pros:

• "The food was unreal! Steak melted in my mouth, every single dish was so full of flavour."

Cons:

• "First, the steaks taste really BAD. We ordered one rare steak and two medium steaks."
• "Disappointing fries and mushrooms with it! So grossly over priced for the quality of the food."
• "Food ok. Ate off 2/3 course specials menu. Starter of mushrooms or spicy prawns both in a really watery sauce."
• "Disappointing steaks ! All were not cooked as requested and were lacking in flavour!"
• "DREADFUL!!!...tasteless, tough ribeye and my husband's '30 day aged in Himalayan salt' at £30...tasteless!!!!"
• "Perhaps it was an off day considering the good ratings. I ordered the Himalayan matured steak, it didn’t taste seasoned in the slightest."

• "White chocolate panna cotta was balanced well by the blackcurrant sauce. We were comped the dessert and a coffee due to the fillet being overdone but there was really no need."
• "A tiny restaurant that packs a massive punch with its steaks, which are succulent and cooked to perfection."
