Benedict
Hands down, the best steak I've had so far! It is rare to find a place that truly masters a medium-rare steak (we chose ribeye), but they got the cook spot on. The accompanying sauces and fries were fantastic, and the red wine they recommended paired beautifully with the meal. If you are visiting Bristol, you definitely need to try this place at least once. It's a wonderful choice for a date night, but also a very solid alternative for business dinners. Highly recommended!

Really liked my fillet. Nice service, good for a business dinner. Wine served was excellent. Friendly and decently prompt service. Steak was cooked to order which was medium. Maybe biased to a higher temperature than some other restaurants, but I prefer that to cooking too a temp below what I expect.

It’s a special place where you can experiment to be going back many years ago. Like the tunnel of time to the 50’s It took us a while to find it as we didn’t realised that it’s located downstairs. The waitresses are well trained and pleasant. The food wonderful, excellent quality 😃 The meat is very tasty and cooked to perfection. Great variety of drinks to match the meals and deserts. A bit noisy and dark, part of the atmosphere. There is at least one private room for some private dinning with a group. If you love meat it’s a place to go 😀

One of the best peppercorn sauce I have ever had in Bristol. Amazing salad selections, which for someone who has to have a veggie plate per meal, it is much appreciated. The staff was amazing, went above and beyond. The steak was obviously amazing and all the other reviews have covered it extensively, so I will talk about the side dishes. The scallops were a star for sure, must have. The chips were cooked to perfection, and the house Ceasar was not at all too creamy, but just right.

From the moment we stepped in we had a lovely welcome from the staff. Service was very quick and the food was brilliant. Particular shout out to the sprouts - they were unreal! There was a great selection of wines available too. The decor was lovely and matched the general atmosphere.
