As a consequence of our lacking antlers to sort matters out, mans competitive nature can lead to all manner of attempted besting between friends. One popular method is over a flame. Not by wrestling on a bonfire, but by outdoing your pal in the cooking of mans greatest culinary obsession: THE STEAK.

    Fantastic as always ! I would reconsider letting little children in this lovely restaurant.. Some people have booked months in advance. And to sit nextvto a moaning, screaming todler was not ideal. Especially if it's a romantic dinner.

    Absolutely terrible, the New York stake was undercooked. Waiting time more than one hour. Never again

    The food and service were amazing. The fillet steak was so tender and juicy. I would definitely go back.
