    Confession - Im not a huge steak fan but have tolerated more than a few steak restaurants in my life, since my husband loves it. This was simply the best steak meal I have ever had. Cooked to perfection, divine sauce (red wine and blue cheese, fries and green beans that were the best I’ve ever tasted. I couldn’t fault a thing.. Staff were great, amusing and we felt ……..honest about the steak cuts. Not too much information - just enough to feel you were making an informed choice,. And the choosing of you steak knife was novel. Not cheap but a lovely place for a special meal, quality ingredients, expertly prepared. Next time my husband wants a steak restaurant, I know where I’ll be wanting to go. Thank you Kyloe!
