   Reasonable steak, quite fatty but with nice crisp fries. Basic salad, mostly lettuce with cheese.

   Managed to book a table last minute on a Saturday when the restaurant was in full swing. Busy and bustling but not so noisy that we couldn't converse, and service was friendly and attentive. Ordered the cote du boeuf to share and a bottle of Malbec Reserve. Although the chips and peppercorn sauce were a little cold, the flavour made up for it. Enjoyed the sauteed mushroom side. A filling meal and felt like good value for steak in central London on a Saturday night.

   Not worth the cost. If you can afford it, it was a very nice restaurant and has amazing service. My steak was bad but I think it was a one-off since all the other food including my girlfriend’s meal was good standard. Very easy to find and lovely bouncer and workers.

   The service was good, friendly and attentive, but not too much. The food was ok, lovely starter and dessert, but the steak main course was rather chewy and disappointing.

   We went on the evening of Valentines Day and were offered their standard fixed price menu (£26 for 2 courses) which we chose. Both service and food was good - one of the best Steak Frites we've ever had which was excellent value of the money. Restaurant is like a classic American Diner with loud music and a great bar.

   Went here for valentines day with a 15months baby and the staff were very accommodating. Cocktails were 10/10. Would come back just for the drinks Food was 6/10. Steak was not seasoned at all and frites were crunchy. Dessert and starters were great though. Overall we would go again and just try another main dish.

   Quality of steaks varied round the table: three good; one poor. Vegetables overcooked. A table for a dozen people was placed within three feet of our quiet table for four Service was very slow.

   The service was excellent, I was able to swap my chips for a delicious salad (I actually think it was nicer than chips would have been) we always enjoy our meal here and would happily recommend it to others.

    Decent food and you know what you are getting - all well prepared and a very friendly greeting from Pedro who remembered us from November last year (there can't be too many people on crutches!)
