My rating is purely based on the location, wine list, service and ambience. I’ve only visited this place in the summer too, love it. Yes it’s pricey but it’s so worth it. I’ve had a few appetisers and they were tasty.
We ordered a chateaubriand steak with mushroom sauce. The steak was delicious extremely tender but the sauce honestly was tasteless it wasn't as I expected it to be.
The gnocchi was delicious well cooked and really tasty.
The portions were just right for two people.
Overall the place is nice to go to for dinner the ambiance is chic.
The last time I ate in a Steak House was in the early 1970s in Winchmore Hill, North London, when I was a teenager. Back then my mother had just founded her later very successful antiques business based in Germany. She started it, with minimal initial investment, from a basement flat in Hannover. Every six weeks or so, she would rent a van, take a ferry to Harwich and drive around the UK on a buying spree. During my school holidays I would accompany her on her tour mainly around the Midlands and then into London. To begin with, she was intimidated by the London traffic, so we’d stay well away from the centre of town and mooch around the dealers in Islington, Barnet, Archway and Winchmore Hill to buy antique mahogany furniture and silver to take back to her shop in Germany. I suppose you could say that, as von Haefen & Daughter, we were a hopefully classier and more attractive version of the rag and bone team, Steptoe and Son!
