We ordered the Sirloin Steak cooked to our preference (Medium Rare). There were no over powering sauces or additives to the steak which I appreciated. Though you can order extra sauces.
The truffle fries was amazing and the mac and cheese was creamy with very nice panko bread crumbs on top (could have done with a strong cheddar or a fried stringy cheese for that extra oomph. But overall it was amazing.
Sadden that the restaurant is now just a kitchen and quite hard to find at first. But it was a nice adventure. The service was great and the chef took their time to discuss the food and also delivered the food to us outside in The Oval (an open space area, that must be nice during a busy day)
Would definitely recommend and I definitely would check out their other offerings on the menu.

Quick stop here before travelling back home. We hadn’t booked but luckily there was room for us. Service was great, friendly staff, efficient and quick with drinks. Food was nice and hot delicious and served quick. Buttermilk chicken burger with extras I would recommend👌🏾 I would eat here again.
We had an 8pm reservation and arrived a couple of minutes beforehand. Despite being able to find the reservation in the system, there was no table for us until 8.20pm. In the meantime, another party with a later reservation came in and was seated. I appreciate that their party was larger and was therefore given the larger table that became available first, but still think it reflects poorly on the restaurant that they weren’t organised for a booking. The staff were polite and briefly apologetic but didn’t seem too bothered by their error.
The food itself was good. We had tempura prawns to start, which came with a delicious dipping sauce. I then had a fillet steak for my main course. I ordered rare but what I received was more akin to medium rare and even medium in parts. Only the very middle was rare. This might be due to the ‘tall’ nature of the cut (see pictures). The medium rare ribeye was good.
The sides were huge. We barely finished the truffle chips between us. The mac ‘n’ cheese was OK – I would have preferred it without the crumb topping as in my opinion it has no place in the dish. It was described on the menu as having this though, so I knew what I was getting myself into.
The service was mostly good, though there was one member of the wait staff who seemed a bit out of their depth. They were very young and I think perhaps new. Luckily it was very quiet (I think we were the last table seated that evening, so by the time we were onto our mains, the place was dead) so this wasn’t much of a problem.
There is just one toilet, an accessible bathroom and baby change combo. I was disappointed to see the emergency pull cord tied up out of reach, rendering the bathroom unsuitable for some disabled customers. The bathroom in general was not overly clean and in need of refurbishment.
In my experience, the place is not deserving of the current 4.3 star Google or 4.5 star Trip Advisor ratings, but has potential if management can sort out the issues listed above. I would like to score 3.5 but as this is not possible, I am going to round down on this occasion.

Exceptional burgers! I am not even a fan of burgers but they made me one! Tried the Jamaican with sweet potato fries - I definitely recommend you visit this place - the atmosphere is nice, the staff is attentive, service is quick. No need for reservation in advance
Had a Sunday roast there today , if my only 2 complaint’s are would of been better served in a large plate not a big bowl and way too much food. Other than that bloody amazing, the beef was cooked perfectly, the veggies were tasty, the potatoes were crispy, the gravy had to be the best I’ve ever had (don’t tell the wife) & the Yorkshire puddings was massive.
Great service and you are left alone to eat .

Good dining experience
I have visited this restaurant several times and the food is always lovely. Good chef, friendly staff who are attentive but not intrusive. Well priced with a nice selection of cocktails. I had pulled lamb burger on a bed of beets with salad instead of a bun My daughter had lamb chops surrounded with mushrooms on a bed of leaves. Our sides were truffle chips and macaroni cheese. Delicious. Well worth a visit. Seating in or out. Will visit again.

THE BEST burger I have tasted!
I went for the French burger with sweet potato fries and my partner went for the salmon. The food was cooked to perfection. The fries were sweet and crispy and the Mac n Cheese tasted so so good. Great staff, very warm and welcoming. The restaurant owner even took the time to sit with me and explain they're Wagu beef burgers will be returning soon. The quality of the food here is unreal. Very reasonably priced. Will definitely be returning.
