    3 of us ate here and the food was really tasty and reasonably priced. A couple of issues they bought my husband up the wrong dinner and to change it was going to be an extra 20 mins so he didn't eat what he ordered. The bill was incorrect and they tried to charge us for a different starter than we actually had which was more money. The staff sorted the bill out no problem, but it should have been correct in the first place. It was busy in there but there were only 2 members of staff waiting on tables and they seemed a but rushed. I'd definitely go back but maybe not on a Saturday night

    A nice meal, but a little expensive. Service a little slow.

    I have eaten steaks all over the world. The steaks in this restaurant are outstanding, full of flavour, cooked to perfection, every mouthful a delight. I live in Hertfordshire so travelling to Ely is an hour away but the thought of one of their steaks makes the journey worthwhile. The staff are friendly, attentive and efficient, doing their very best to please their customers. There is a good choice of wines. The scallop starter is gorgeous - scallops cooked in a yummy sauce to perfection under a puff pastry crust. The sides are full of flavour and great compliments to the main courses. I am not a chip lover but the chips at this restaurant could convert me. Will definitely be back - I say to you - What's not to like.

    Attentive waiting staff but sadly lacking knowledge of the meat they are serving. The eel starter lacked finesse and balance. As for the main course I was served the wrong cut twice, incorrectly cooked both times. When you add this to the details like dirty glasses and having to ask for cutlery for your main course (no steak knives?) it does not make for an enjoyable evening especially at the prices they charge for what is not the best quality beef. As this was a birthday celebration meal as well it really made for a disappointing evening.

    We booked a table for lunch which was confirmed by Email, when we arrived the restaurant was closed. I phoned and left a message letting them know this had happened, we have not had any response which is disappointing. We did not want the same thing to happen to other people but have not yet checked to see if they have updated the booking system. Such a shame we were looking forward to it.

    Visited Griddle Bar and Meathouse for the first time yesterday for a family birthday. Wonderful staff,fantastic food and atmosphere. Nothing was to much trouble for our table of 7. We all had different steaks and burgers which were the best we’ve had in a long time. The Tomahawk my son had was incredible. A complimentary dessert was given to my son which was a thoughtful touch. We will definitely be back ,thank you for making my sons meal special.

    Food was ok, maybe a bit expensive for what it was. Quite small portions. Service was pretty poor, staff got a few things wrong. They definitely need more training in hospitality. It’s a real shame as this place has potential but needs better management.
