Good meal at a good price point.
We enjoyed eating here and had a variety of dishes including the oxtail soup, the filet and ribeye, with chips and a variety of deserts.
The restaurant was lively and pleasant with a nice atmosphere and checking of vaccination on entry.
The food was good quality but the steaks would have benefitted from additional seasoning when cooking to help with the crust and overall flavour. I can definitely say they had that deep beefy umami taste though.
The oxtail soup was to thin and not tasty at all especially considering the price. It was very watery but thankfully not salty.
The chips, salad, and sides were all great.
The strawberry ice-cream and the new york cheesecake were all brilliant but the chocolate lava cake was very disappointing, definitely a best-seller based on name rather than reality. I'd definitely recommend the cheesecake.
Unfortunately, a downside to the experience was the waitress who was incredibly rude and clearly only fishing for a tip.
At the end of the meal, throughout which she had been a little curt but generally nice, we paid the bill by card. When we tip, we always tip in cash so that it goes straight to the server but the moment that the waitress saw that I put zero on the card reader, she suddenly became curt and glared at us, literally threw the card on the table and said 'bye' as she turned away.
We had intended to tip in cash and my wife was literally getting cash out as this happened but based on that response we left with no tip.
How embarassing.
So final tip - make sure you tell the staff how you are going to tip at the beginning if you want to be sure of a nice experience haha.
