Brushetta and pate to start, pate portion was far 2big for small amount of toast! both had steak which was cooked perfectly, tho with it being early bird there wasnt even a lettuce leaf on side of large plate which just had steak on it-not v. attractive! Staff were friendly but wont be in a rush back.

The staff were really accomodating, because we were half an hour late for the early bird menu, but they didn't mind! Ordered bruschetta for starter and then had the steak! Both were delicious. Would go back again!

I had calamari and the steak bearnaise (which I love), faultless. I continue to come back to this restaurant because of the great produce, service and value.

The starters were grand but nothing to be writing home about. Mussels best (small portion is plenty) and Pate worst. Themains we all had steak, and it's literally steak on a plate with side of sauce, no garnish even?! Steak was tender and cooked perfectly, side of veg dripping butter. The chunky chips where baby potatoes cut into 4's. Desserts were grand but the apple crumble way too sweet (and I have sweet tooth!) Positives, nice decor, friendly staff, great steak. Negatives, starter, desserts, veg and nothing exciting about presentation Joined May 10 2 Reviews 0 Hats Off! loading... emul8ter (Newbie) Credibility Score: 19% Visited: 05 May 2010 | Posted: 2 Months ago Went to FXB for dinner with my wife and this was our first visit. I was worried I was under dressed being in jeans and a t-shirt, but it was a very relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. The service was very good. The waitress was very pleasant and provided very prompt service without trying to rush us. I loved that they bring a small pitcher of water to leave on the table. I really dislike sitting around thirsty in a restaurant with no servers to be found. I felt a bit disappointed by the quality of the food, especially after reading positive reviews and hearing good things about FXB. I started with a small garden salad, while presented nice and with a tasty dressing, there was lots of wilted lettuce in my salad. I ordered the ribeye steak with onion straws and mashed potatoes. My steak arrived completely rare but I didnt send it back. It was nice and tender but had more fat on a steak than Ive ever seen. My mashed potatoes came luke warm and both looked and tasted like they had been sitting around for a long time. Overall the food did not impress me.

We got a house salad and bread and dips to start. We were surprised at hot big the bread and dips platter was...we shared it and were glad we had only ordered one. My husband had the rib eye which he asked for medium rare but it was pretty rare when it came out. I got the steak medalions and really enjoyed it...very tasty. Our waitress was very nice but we had a few questions regarding the sauce for the steak and the salad dressing and she had no idea --- but she went and asked and gave us the answers quickly...so the service was very good. I would go back to FXB...its a good location, service was really good, atmosphere was nice, and food was tasty.

The restaurant was busy but had a nice atmosphere. I had the fish cakes for starter which were ok but I have tasted better, my partner had the bbq ribs which to be honest were not great, they were served in a Soy & honey glaze sauce which made them over salty & as a result not very tasty. I had the sirloin for my main which again was only ok, it was not really seasoned so was a little disappointed. And all side orders was extra which I thought was a little dis appointing. My partner had the Medallions of Fillet of Beef for his main which were again unseasoned & a little disappointing. For dessert I had an hazelnut cake with pistaschio ice cream – it was different... My partner had the crème bruele which was again only ok The restaurant was quite busy - and there were 2 girls on all night but the managed to cope ok, All in all I don’t think we would return to this restaurant, we have had nicer experiences in other FXB’s. << First Page < Prev [Results 1 - 8 of 24] Next > Last Page >>
