    Great all round! It does give a lot more of a corporate lunch vibe as opposed to a soulful one but the service and attentiveness was fantastic.

    Several text demands to arrive on time or to confirm attendance followed by a 45 minute wait for our food to arrive having had to remind the only waiter that we had been waiting a long time and could see one of the kitchen staff frequently on his phone. Our £195 bill for three main courses, three bottles of fizzy water, one glass of lager and one pudding was presented to us inaccurately twice so I took off the automatic ‘service’ charge which was anyway undeserved. The manager was half asleep and showed no leadership; the waiter spoke inadequate English, looked totally at sea, and had clearly not been properly trained. A great and very expensive disappointment for a restaurant that only has to cook steaks and present them to itscustomers. I will not be going there again.

    The restaurant was not fully booked for lunch, but the service was akin to an overrun and understaffed bistro. The sauces for the steaks turned up 15 mins after they had been served. When complaining, no apology, no contrition at all. They acted like this was acceptable and normal. Also the food was tepid, rather than served hot. To make matters worse, overcharged.

    We had the Tuesday night fixed menu, which is a good deal. The steak was perfectly cooked. Empanadas also good.
