Well all i can say is this was not an enjoyable experience. A very limited menu with iver half of it vegetarian or gluten free made shorter by only 1 cut of steak available. Place has a wine/alcohol list 10 pages long but cant stock 3 diff cuts of steak. Order took 20 30mins to arrive and was less than underwhelming seeing ur steak have a charcoal look that u can do cave paintings with and a taste that is tough to chew just bought the meal down further. House cut chips are potatoes. Quartered and cut into wedges to.then be served half cooked with a salad that had just leaves and consisted of a tart vinigrette dressing that was just yuck. Atmosphere was busy with some random trivia game going offf in.the corner but all we heard was muffled bursts frim the microphone and cheers for 90minutes. Overall just a bad experience for us. Overpriced and over valued.

What an amazing place! We were greeted by a very friendly but efficient young woman, we were seated and orders taken very promptly. But wow, I thought the service was good but the food was even better. I had a rump steak, and it was seriously the best steak I have ever had, perfectly cooked and so very tender, it cut like butter. Definitely got to go back again.

Loved the full wall display from the entrance to the back where the kitchen is - does make you feel like you were dining inside a museum! The staff were friendly and attentive. I had the twice cooked pork belly and it was divine. My friends also said their dishes were delicious too, especially the spiced roasted cauliflower. Great place!

Went down for their steak night on short notice and managed to get a seat. Gorgeous venue with Natural History Museum window exhibits along one side. Happy hour beer and wines 430-630 and cocktails 630-730. Comfy seating to just relax and disconnect from the craziness of the city

Came to this place for their 22$ steak night. It's a 250g flank steak and honestly had no complaints apart from the sauce costing 4$ 😅. The steak had great flavour, good smokeyness and was surprisingly tender. Fries were fresh and had great crunch. I had the broccoli which was cooked and seasoned perfectly.. so yummy. Staff were friendly and aware. The bar also has really fascinating decor. A cool place with chill vibes.
