One of the most fun restaurants I’ve been to in London! My friend and I thought that we had overordered but managed to eat everything. Highly recommend the garlic noodles and the garlic butter steak - but all of the food was unbelievable!! I’ll definitely be back for their happy hour and/or all you can eat options.

Very attentive and informative staff, perfectly cooked and brilliantly seasoned meat, cooked to our preferences. Generous sides packed full of flavour. Creative and delicious cocktails. We treated ourselves to the cheesecake and the grandma style serving lived up to its name. Amazingly good value overall and a delightful experience. Replicates the feeling of a decent New York steakhouse, no stuffiness, just a passion for food and looking after people.

Their grilling method yields some amazingly-grilled meats. The Lamb Chips are a MUST and probably the best I have ever tasted. Service was great as well. It’s a small place. The good: attentive, good service. The bad: it’s small and a bit cramped, but that adds to the charm. Definitely recommend. Like it’s a MUST.
