Sardanisca (Newbie) Credibility Score: 25% Visited: 29 Jul 2010 | Posted: 5 days ago My cousin suggested this restaurant for lunch today and have to say I was not disappointed, at all. We were 4 for lunch and decided to go for the 2 courses. Everything was beautifully served and the steaks done to our request. Staff was polite and atentive. Of course that the 2 bottles of wine and the expressos made the bill dearer but it was worth it. Will go back in the future, although this time I know that I will have to fast for a week before getting one of those steaks inside.

Most of us ordered steak. I went of the dry aged rib eye, which was excellent although maybe slightly too crunchy on the outside. One of our fellow diner was brave enough to go for the t-bone. You will be surprised by the size of it:a real challenge for meat-eater and served on a big wooden board filled up with side dishes too. The dessert of the day, a almond and blueberries tart, was smooth on the palate and tasty on the heart. Only note, the service was quite slow and the bill didn't come cheap although we only ordered 2 bottles of wine and tap water.

I started with the Chicken Liver Pate, followed by the Rib Eye Steak. The steak in particular was really excellent - one of the nicest I've had in years! The service was faultless. I will definitely be going back. I'll have the steak again, but I might skip the starter and have the dessert instead so that I'm not too full to enjoy it....

I had the scallops with the chorizo to start which were mouth watering followed by the fillet steak – cooked to perfection (my taste exactly) served with veg including mushrooms and onions. I thought the choice of desserts were a bit slim but I was so full after my main course that it didn’t really matter. I had white wine (I know that’s a sin with steak) but I loved it! The service was good but sometimes they forgot about us and I had to ask for water a few times. Overall it was a great night and a gorgeous meal.

Went for a meal and ended up eating LOADS! The food was excellent- we had a sirloin steak, a ham hock and scallops amongst us- all dishes were beautifully done and the portions were excellent. We really had to make space for dessert- I recommend the sticky toffee pudding- beautifully done- perfectly moist, with icecream and butterscotch sauce. The service was impeccable- we had 2 servers who were very attentive, very good at what they did and extremely good at making small talk yet knowing when to give you space. All in all, an excellent experience- even as non-meat-eater, I would go back, if only for a glass of wine and dessert and some more of those amazing scallops!

We both had a steak sandwich. Very pleased! Succulent beef, very generous portion, upbeat and friendly staff, all in all a great little spot!
