    We were asked where we wanted to be sitted and I asked for the booth. Service was great and food came out quickly. We had steak and it was cooked wonderfully. It was expensive but it is London and I did expect to pay. Great atmosphere. Would visit again

    Overall, everything was fine and pleasant , not particularly remarkable although I will say the portion of green beans was good compared to most other restaurants but the sirloin steak was a little tough but tasted ok. Price was also fair compared to other restaurants.

    My friend came to town from the wild north and I'm not terribly mobile so we met here as it was a short walk from the train station. The food was delicious and the service excellent. They didn't even mind that we stayed for over four hours.

    One of my favourite places for food and service. It never fails to deliver - a great place to meet if you are coming to Waterloo to meet a friend which is central for most.

    Came here for my mum's 70th birthday as we were going to a show at the national theatre and wanted something that wasn't too far. So glad we booked this, everything was fabulous and Mum had a great time. Service was wonderful and food was so very tasty, my sis and I had the Black and Blue Mojito this too was very VERY tasty
