    Very friendly staff but we felt there weren’t enough waiter on hand as we had to keep trying to find someone to take care of us or the bill. Otherwise really good evening. Well placed restaurant and very easy to find

    Great service! The whole team were really good, very accommodating. Florin, our waiter made us welcome and nothing was too much trouble. Food was good and the 'hot food' was hot when it came to the table.

    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.
