    The server forgot our order, we had to remind them after waiting for an hour for our food. Then they rushed our food so one of the steaks was massively undercooked and inedible. Then the waitress poured white wine in our glasses of red wine, not even realizing her mistake and encouraging us to drink it anyway. Overall it was a mess.

    Excellent food, steak was cooked perfectly and the side dishes were tasty. The staff were friendly from start to finish. Bife is definitely a restaurant I would recommend.

    Food was good, table service was poor. Miserable waitress who also forgot our drinks order twice resulting in having to go to bar to get them ourselves. Then she attempted to pressure us into a 12.5% tip!!

    We came to Bife for a birthday meal, and thoroughly enjoyed it. The restaurant was full and there was a great buzz of the place. As a group of four we shared a steak sizzler box, food was beautiful. Really tender and tasty! Would definitely recommend. Staff were great & very friendly. We had a great night, thank you!
