We turned up early expecting a bar, so we had a drink elsewhere. All 3 courses were fabulous, staff and service were wonderful.

The food was lovely and my partner particularly loved his steak. Our only criticism was that it was hard to hear each other talk as the music was a little loud and the acoustics were bouncing off the walls. Apart from that very nice

Superb. Beautifully cooked high quality steaks. Flawlessly served with a minimal wine list & sides that perfectly complemented. A tucked-away gem of a restaurant.

Went here for our anniversary and this restaurant exceeded our expectations! The food was AMAZING. Every single thing we ordered was so delicious and it was so memorable that we’ve been craving it ever since! It is on the pricier side but it was worth the value. Would definitely go here again for special occasions.

A really quant unassuming little place, but really fantastic steak and the squid entree was one of the best I’ve eaten! I also wouldn’t go past the cheesecake for a dessert option.
