    Tired the flank streak, which was burned on the outside but ‘rare’ on the inside even though I requested medium. The lettuce was NOT washed and extremely bitter.

    Overrated and overpriced. Waited over 2h for a table to have disappointing food. Small portions, tasteless chicken, Yorkshire pudding was good though. Service was ridiculously slow and messy.

    They don't really like serving people who want a drink, even though they're open late. So middle of the road it might be a central reservation...

    Not that great, meat cooked well but under seasoned and lacking flavour. Over priced steak at £25 for what you get.

    Nice but watch out for scams! On the menu there was an Angus rib costing £30 and clearly written FOR TWO TO SHARE. But guess what?? Ended up paying £60 for a bit less than 800gr of meat! Outrageous.

    Ridiculous... I have never had such a small lamb portion... when I finished my whole plate all others at my table still had more than what arrived on my plate... never again
