"Steak was seriously impressive. There were some oddities in the service though. I thought it was the kind of place that you wouldn’t usually go to unless someone else is paying. A lot of thought has gone in to the presentation of the food. It’s inside the Hippodrome casino so perhaps the customers want flashy, over the top presentation. The restaurant delivers that with beautiful bowls and dishes that come frothing with with dry ice. The Ocean Plate was nice but came with the wrong kind of soy sauce IMHO. Sushi is usually paired with a much lighter soy sauce. I had the 350g ribeye and it was some of the best steak I have ever had. Chimichurri sauce was nice. There are many steak options on the menu but most of them were unavailable (supply chain issues? . The side of chips and the side of carrots and peas were slightly dry. For dessert I went for the Mango Baked Alaska. It turned out to be a somewhat deconstructed variant that looked like something that had been run over by a motorbike, smoke still streaming from the box it was served on. The restaurant occupies three or so steppes overlooking a gaming floor. The spaces are narrow and loud and chaotic. Staff did a great job considering the environment but this is not somewhere you would want to go for a romantic evening. The service is oddly rigid as well. We had made two separate sets of bookings and it would have made sense to combine them into one booking but this didn’t happen. At least we got both groups sitting in the same area. You also aren’t allowed to order starters for your group and then decide on mains later. All food must be ordered at once by the whole group (they made an exception for one member of our group who was arriving later . There was no particular explanation given for this. The restaurant did not seem understaffed; there was an army of waiting staff on hand to deliver food and open bottles of wine."

"at £16.95 per for a frying dinner they expect something special or at least for it to be edible. I ordered the lamb, the meat was delicious, but that was it. the evening meal was served in a bowl, drown in a not particularly beautiful sweet gravur, which tasted all the same. a piece of brokkoli, 2 pastilles and a carrot and 4 stone-hard “roasting potatoes”, one could not even cut with a steak knife. the yorkshire pudding was burned up and so tender everywhere else, it was just a big disappointment. I complained politely about the kartoffels and the sweet and the amount of “gread” at the end of the meal. they said they would give it back to the cook, but no more word about it from the staff. it would have been appreciated if they were just coming back and apologized. pay attention to the broth that is brought as soon as your floor comes to the chair is for...worthy it was because it was nice, but a bit of a surprise at the end, especially given the complaining I made and the half eaten meal. my friend enjoyed his beef dinner, but the yorkshire was more a pancake than a pudding! they also overloaded on the glass of the wein I ordered with £2.50, but at this point I could not complain again, we cut our losers, feel thoroughly torn down and praised not back. that is a shame when the personal seemed beautiful and I liked the quirky decoration and the feeling of the place."
