Probably one of the best steaks I have ever eaten. Had 3 starters between 3 Pate, Croque and the peppers each was delicious. For main we again shared a 1kg Galician T bone steak and an additional 600g sirloin. Both were cooked to perfection and just melted in the mouth. Only downside was the waiter forgot our wine order for a second bottle and once we were finished eating we were asked to vacate the table when we wanted to have a further bottle of wine. Can’t see anywhere on the website that the table booking is for a limited period and we were not advised when booking. I get the restaurant wants to maximise their profits but when paying a premium price for excellent food I do not expect to be rushed out.
