    This is the second time we have visited this restaurant. The rib starter was great and tasty. The steak we had was cooked just right. Definitely will visit again. Kid-friendliness: Staff was very pleasant and helpful.

They provided us very good service. all the staff were friendly specially the girl who greet us and made delicious cocktails for us we both enjoyed our meal that was steaks and rump and was cooked very well. Mostly I love the cocktails french martini and long island tea becomes my favourite one which was made by that girl. I would go back again to have lovely cocktails specially.

    Unfortunately we didn't have the best experience. Despite the scaffolding outside which of course cannot be helped sometimes. We were greeted with a pretty empty place. Maybe 10 people in a place that could sit 100 comfortably, which was a red flag. The place was clean and tidy and pretty well decorated. Loads of potential for being a great place until you look a little closer, where it's a bit tired. The two girls that were working were surly doing their best, we thought maybe there was just a lack of training. The food didn't make it any better. My wife had the Squid which was watery and tasteless which screams that it was frozen. I had the Nachos, soured cream, guacamole and salsa were very poor quality. Saving grace for my wife was her steak which was well cooked and very tasty. I had a mixed grill, it wasn't great. Chips were dry, but portion size was good........ We didn't stay for dessert! It's a shame. This place has such potential, but it needs some love and management. Definitely not the best Steak House in Poole as it claims.

    What a shame, a really disappointing experience. We ordered a starter followed by our mains, the mains turned up, starter forgotten. They did take the food away but we were wary of the steak 'standing' while they sorted the starter so went straight for the mains. The food was very nice. Could have done without waiting staff asking one immediately after another if all was OK? And again one straight after another asking if we'd like to see the dessert menu! Only four tables occupied at this time so it's hard to appreciate they weren't aware of what their colleagues were doing as they were chatting amongst themselves most of the time. Decided on liqueur coffee, they had to go check what liqueur they had and came back to say if I wanted it with a coffee their machine's not working (for some time), so no coffee. So why not take this option off the CHALK board? Settled for the bill instead. Told they'd waived the service charge but I'd already noted this was only automatically added on tables of 7 or more! Two of us, so pointless comment.

    Food served cold. All steaks served beyond blue. Despite some asking for medium rare and rare. Very unattentive. Waited for ages between meal n the bill. So disappointed was really looking fwd to it.

    I wish I took pictures of the food I was served because it is NOTHING like the slate presented art that is in the photos. I ordered a T-bone steak rare and a side of chips. Specified that I am allergic to tomatoes, garlic and onions so please to not include anything like that or have my food prepped on the same board. When the steak came out it was exactly that a hunk of meat on a plate with no garnish it was a large plate with a steak… a steak with no colour to it, barely seared and when I cut into it close to the bone it was still cold, not cooled down cold but fridge cold. I thought maybe my dietary requirements meant no salad and gave them the benefit of the doubt until I saw several plates go to customers the exact same style. In my years as a customer and chef I have NEVER seen a steak on a plate with nothing else at all. This brings me onto the clearly frozen chips but whatever it’s a restaurant in 2023 and they were okay BUT were clearly cooked in the same vat as the onion rings due to the severe reaction I had upon reaching my hotel. I was at the best part ignored by wait staff and eventually had to find someone so I could pay my bill and leave. Still tried to charge a 10% service fee. I have had a few amazing, mediocre and terrible steaks in my life. I’ve cooked my share of terrible steaks. This was the worst I have ever had by far.

    Firstly, the food was great. Steak was good quality and cooked to our liking however... After being shown to a table, thats where the service stopped. We had to ask for our drinks order to be taken, then again for the food order to be taken. Drinks took forever to arrive. Food was fairly quick. We were charged for dishes that didn't arrive. We were given a dessert menu but no one came back to actually ask if anything was wanted. Eventually we gave up waiting and had to go up to the desk to ask to pay the bill. The menu states a service charge is added for groups of 7 or more, however it was automatically added for a group of 2! Even though no service was actually received.
