| - I visited the restaurant for the first time on Friday evening with my girlfriends and was not disappointed. I was the first to arrive and decided to take a drink at the bar whilst I waited. All the staff were wonderful and friendly and kept checking that I was ok. We were shown to our table in the upstairs restaurant, which is such a lovely space. Very tastefully decorated and not overcrowded with tables. The waiters were excellent and very knowledgeable about both the food and the wine. Many of the dishes are big enough for two people to share and our waiter, Michael, suggested that some of the larger cuts of meet would be suitable for the table to share. Such a great idea. We started with some fresh baked bread which was incredible, a cross between a bread and a Yorkshire pudding. The four of us shared two starters, the caesar salad (prepared at the table, even down to the making of the fresh mayonnaise dressing) and steak tartar (incredible). We all then had our own steaks and all opted for the PEI ribeye (14oz of amazingness) and our Michael took a considerable amount of time assisting one of my girlfriends choose the best cut and cooking for her. We ordered sides for the table and went for the spinach, mushrooms and duck fat fries (yummy!) and all was accompanied by a couple of great bottles of Argentinian Malbec (well, you can't eat steak without red wine, can you?). We didn't have room for dessert, but we were served some fabulous muffins to take away. We had a fantastic time. To sum it up - fantastic! Amazing service, fantastic food and all in a wonderful, relaxed and decadent restaurant setting. I'll definitely be back.
