I went here for a recent company dinner. We used the private room downstairs that has its own bar and lounge area. Our company staff and guests really enjoyed the place in terms of food and decor. On the down-side service was a bit ditzy and the steak wasn’t actually that good (I realise that perhaps with the 12 people who ordered the kitchen is under pressure, but there was a fair amount of tough fat and sinew on what was meant to be a prime cut).

The wine menu is fine, although be careful with the staff recommendations. They really need perhaps need someone with a bit more experience doing this. Good thing we had a senior member of staff who collects the stuff and changed the set-wines straight away!

Upstairs was nice, reception is for want of a better word ‘posh’. As someone mentioned it is kinda ‘suity’ and I wouldn’t go here except for company things.

For steak restaurants, Gaucho’s or Smiths’ of Smithfield is a far better choice. However for privacy and the good atmosphere this did in-fact beat Smiths.

Overall 3 stars, for the price I would’ve expected the food to be better.
