"Love the atmosphere of this place. This was our first time and so the idea that you finish cooking your steak to your idea of perfection on a hot stone was awesome! The choice on the menu was wonderful and we all wanted to come back before we are it looked so good. The concept is that the steaks are just sealed in the kitchen and served to you on hot stones. They all come served rare with a salt a butter and a sauce. You take the stakes of the stone immediately so they don't burn, and then you cut a piece put your butter salt and sauce if you want on the stone, then put your piece of steak on the stone to finish cooking it and seasoning it like you want. I like my steak very rare so the way it came out with was perfect and it didn't need my cooking. However because of how quickly they see the steak in the kitchen, it does need seasoning so whether you use the salt straight on your steak or on the stone, you do need to use it. Our waitress was wonderful, and suggested that even though a few of us didn't want butter salt or sauce that we should get it. She was right. She also recommended that one of our party didn't have the sliced steak, even though it is still tasty, it's not a good representation of the restaurant for our first visit. The side orders were pretty good. The fries, sweet potato fries, jacket potato, onion rings and garlic mushrooms were all great. The huge disappointment were the seasonal vegetables. They tasted precut and microwaved, and if they weren't microwaved they were old before they were boiled. You can see in the picture each piece of vegetable was very small and for the price that was a serious disappointment.  The waitress was again wonderful with our drinks, with no cocktail menu she went behind the bar and made a long island iced tea herself which was delicious. Even the bill wasn't that bad when it came however, the £1 cover charge each was pretty irksome. Overall the service and the food was great and we will definitely be back to the chain."

"Me and my 16 year old friend purchased a pizza yesterday evening after sitting up on Primrose Hill. Whilst waiting for the takeaway box (as we didn’t want to eat in), my friend accidentally knocked a pepper shaker off the table. As I was in the toilet at the time of the event, I had no idea it had even occurred. As i returned to the table, i was preparing to pay the bill and a male waiter starts aggressively asking me if I was also going to pay for the broken shaker. Stunned into silence at the fact this grown man was shouting at two clearly young girls in the middle of the restaurant, as well as the fact I hadn’t known what had happened, I couldn’t answer him. He proceeds to say ‘are you stupid? Am I speaking Chinese? Answer the damn question’ still shouting. A very kind female waitress proceeds to tell him I wasn’t present and it was my friend that broke the shaker. My friend apologised profusely as well as me, yet he continued to berate us until we left. If I had been at dinner with my parents and I accidentally knocked over a shaker, I am almost certain quite a scene would’ve never happened. It disgusts me that this restaurant believes they could treat two teenage girls as less than human, showing no compassion whilst we showed mountains of remorse. I actually really enjoyed the pizza but will never EVER be returning because of this treatment."
