This is a nice restaurant with great food. I dined there over 3 consecutive nights whilst staying at the adjacent hotel.
The burger on the first night was really lovely, you can tell the pattie is made from quality beef. I declined the onion loaf as I am not a lover of onion, however I should have as on the 3rd night I discovered it was nice.
The beef dripping sauce is fantastic. I opted for this on the third night too!
The wings are nice, although I did find that combined with the rack of ribs, it was a little too much sticky sauce for one evening 😅.
The ribs were good quality with plenty of meat.
Now when it comes to steak, I know my steak. I extremely rarely eat steak at a restaurant in the UK, but with all of their own accreditation to steak perfection, I had to give it a go. I got the 50 day 6oz Sirloin and to be fair it wasn't to bad at all. It was well cooked and tasted great. I definitely think I'd recommend a steak from here, although many are rather costly. However as I discovered, you don't need to spend a fortune.
The waitress was lovely and kept an eye on my drink level and topped us as required. I prefer water as I'm T-Total and not really a fizzy drink fan.
So negatives... I don't like when handed the card machine, it instantly requires you to select the tip amount. Now if I were traveling and dining with family, I would offer a tip. As I travel for work I have to eat out and tips are not allowed to be added to expenses. If I were to tip the minimum 15% I'd soon be out of my own money. It makes me feel awful that I can't do so as everyone has to make a living.
I must caveat and say that I explained this to my waitress and she was totally fine with it. She even skipped that step on my following visit having remembered.
Another, not particularly negative, however I do think that at a restaurant like here, where it's a tad more expensive than some run of the mill places, then maybe an offering of bread at the start of the meal on the house would not go a miss. This tends to happen at most restaurants in the US and many abroad in general. Just a suggestion 😀
All being said would I recommend it? Yes I would.
We visited for a belated Father's day meal (Tuesday evening).
We were seated immediately. The restaurant was clean, as were the toilets. The service was friendly. We had a little mishap with our order, but it was dealt with excellently by Julia, our waitress.
Food was excellent on our visit - steaks (the reason to visit!) were very good quality and cooked excellently.
Cocktail menu fab too! 🍸🍹
Good value overall: not a cheap meal, but service and quality worthy of a visit for a special occasion!
Had an amazing dinner for our date tonight. The food was amazing and service was brilliant and fast. Our server Sally was very polite and very welcoming.
Would defo be going back
