  Date of Visit: 04.08.18Time: 7.30pmReview: A really nice place to visit a venue with all you need from a good night out. Food, Drinks, Music, People.From the moment you enter you feel like a star entering a hip venue which would not be out of place in the middle of Mayfair to be honest. Add this to a reasonable priced food menu with various set menu and course options to boot you cant go wrong. Good place for couples as well as groups and a nice crowd and mix of people which is also good. Even when you leave you enter the hustle of Soho which you have to experience on a Friday and Saturday night. The venue also have their own photographer so when the venue turns from bar to resturant to club you get a nice dance floor areas as tables are cleared and photographer is also about to take your group shotsA great place for all so worth a visit.Dress Code: Told there is a strict dress code of no sportswear but on arrival looks like some bypassed this rule but most people were dressed well and ready for a night out.Cuisine Type: Modern EuropeanParking: There is an NCP car park within easy walking distance and one of the few in the area.Decor & Lighting: Low lighting which looks good but not good for any photos of your group or photos so make sure to bring a flash. Great decor and I have been during the day as well as evening and looks good both times. So please do excuse my photos which are not as good as I would like as next time I will take my DSLR in order to cope with the low light levels as my photos dont really do the venue much justice.Heating and Cooling: The temperature fluctuated from good to hot at times.Ambience & Acoustics: Very noisy place and you can hear the people you came with but you have to raise your voice and it depends where you sit as there is a stage area where the sound will be 10 times louderService: Well on a positive note the staff and manager are all very friendly and from the outset it is professional in that people at the entrance know your booking and where your group is seated so this is a smooth service and you have a cloakroom which is also good. Servers nice and friendly but then when you are having dinner the training is very sub-par with staff not knowing the basics of clearing down a table and cleaning surface after a course as well as not being attentive and always having to be chased. A very slow service with the wrong level of training for service staff which is the only let down. They really could score 10 out of 10 if they pushed their service level up.DB Level: We had corner booth and still hitting 90dbDrinks: No cocktails on the menu but if you drink you will be ok.We had the following:Mixed quinoa & cauliflower tabbouleh hazelnuts & cranberries – A nice portion and really fresh salad, I know most will like the cranberries but as I am not a fan this was a little overpowering to me but i still enjoyed the dish.225g fillet of beef, roasted cep mash baby onions, bordelaise sauce – Really well cooked and I substituted the bordelaise (red wine) sauce with peppercorn which was not an issue and glad this was possible. Also the dish came with a roasted mushroom and to be honest the mushroom and sauce and mash along with the baby onions just all cooked to perfection and all the elements of the dish worked well and complimented each other but giving the steak the main focus still which is the way it should be. I will be going back just for the steak for sure.Green beans, chilli, red onion – A must extra to go with your steak as the infusion with the chilli and red onion works so well with the steak dish it really should come with it as it is that good.Warm chocolate fondant, pistachio ice cream – Not bad at all, arrived warm and very soft with good visual appearance also.Bill / Cost: 350.00 for 5 people including drinks but set menus only at 30 and 42 so reasonable on the food.Conclusion: I like the venue for a number of reasons from the bar upstairs and down to the great resturant downstairs that has live singers and bands which really makes the day and turns into a live band club with dance floor and then DJ later. So the venue has it all for your night no need to move onto anywhere else and a nice crowd. I would recommend a visit and book to ensure you get a good seat and if you like live music ask to be seated near the stage. You also have private rooms and VIP areas so really nice touch. The other thing to note was the food was goodAlso a few vegetarian options as well as many fish courses so a well put together menu to cater for all. m3jal.com

  Came for dinner was so excited as it was date night. Started off well with delicious cocktails at the bar then we were seating and it all went down hill. Alarms for evacuation went off three times. We have bright clinical lighting in our face and we had to ask 3 different members of staff to turn it off before getting up and moving ourselves. They brought one of our starters before the first course we had ordered to share and the food was brought out so quickly you felt rushed. The quality of the food was average. Nothing exciting or particularly well done. Disappointing
