The service was outstanding. I big shout out to the wine waiter, I have never seen such great presentation of the wine as he did. Brilliant. Food was good, expected a bit more, chateaubriand steak was not overly hot, but it was delicious same way, i was just expecting it beiny a bit warmer. Cream of spinach not great to my taste but my partner loved it. Starter was so delicious, butternut squash option best starter I've ever had! Price is regular for a steak house I would say. I would definitely recommend!
