Dropped in here for a meal before seeing Matilda at the Cambridge Theatre with a view to test-driving their steaks. How much better were they really going to be than prime fillet from your local butcher? It’s a basement location with a greeter at ground level, a downstairs bar and then through to the ‘industrial chic’ dining room. The (English) barmaid was a real misery, deliberately avoiding any kind of eye contact, whereas our (Portuguese) waiter was very friendly and attentive. The wines seemed reasonable for London and the steak was frankly good but not great. Tender as you would expect but the outside of our medium rare Chateaubriand was charred to the point where it just tasted unpleasantly burnt and at £84.50 for 650g you expect slightly better. Great atmosphere though.
