A wee bit on the expensive side for what you get. The steaks were amazing in taste but to pay additionally to have a side or two makes it a little bit on the expensive side as the steaks are not too big in size. Drinks were good. Service was excellent. The seating area arrangements were good (round table and comfy seats) but unfortunately was right next to the kitchen which meant a lot of noise and was only partitioned with a curtain. There could be a better solution to make the dining experience better. Overall, we were happy, waiter was excellent, food was very good.
