Really enjoyed this place. Great food, great wine and really cool, after work, atmosphere.
I had to order the chop, since it's what this place is named after. And I have to say, I am not sure what kinda lamb they got the chop from but it was huge! And tasty 😋 the pie on the other hand looked and tasted a little unorthodox.
Service was a little slow, but with the wine flowing, and atmosphere pumping, it didn't really matter.
A surprise date night brought me to the first dates restaurant.
The maître de was lovely and very helpful showing us to our table however the table they had seated us at was small and between two very close neighbours. After asking to move, we were told there were no other tables (the restaurant was a third full at most) I took matters into my own hands and found a spare table we liked. After 10 minutes, we were sat there (with many grumpy faces from the staff)
Once sat at a better table, we ordered our food. We had some of their bread and butter and it was yummy. The bread still warm and the butter just slightly salted.
As a main we both had bavette steak and chips with peppercorn sauce. The steak was perfectly cooked, the chips lovely and crispy and the sauce, peppery and full of flavour. The portion size was perfect and I could not eat another bite.
The meal was slightly pricey but the atmosphere was lovely and we enjoyed our final drinks outside, under the blanket looking at St. Paul's. It was magical.
The food was good, a really lovely steak but it can't make up for the service. The staff (apart from the lady at the front of house) were rude, slow and didn't seem to care at all.
A shame as the rest of the meal was wonderful.
Food EXCELLENT
Ambiance - fabulous
Location - Wonderful
Waiting Satff - Polite enough
Front of house - A lady in particular was utterly disappointing , clearly neglected and didn't make any time to make us feel welcome or valued.
The prices are such that the least you would expect is a prompt response and service when you ask politely . She was an utter farce and Ruined my meal i was that angry .
