  “I was there at the restaurant with 3 guests at around 6pm. We know the drill as we are regular customers. We waited in a long queue then went in when a table was available. The four of us were seated. We initially asked for 4 medium done, then when it was time to serve i asked her to chance mine to well done but she wasn't happy! I haven't eaten anything yet and i guess out of courtesy she should change my order to well done no big deal. But she said it will be a hassle and I need to wait 10 to 15 min to get my food and i said no worries. Then i noticed the fries came kind of white color ( not well fried). Then when my well done meat was served it was burnt from the outside and still medium from the inside. Very unprofessional and not decent to deal with your guest. Didn't like the meat nor the fries and not the service overall today.”

  “Le relais de venise i entrecote started in france which serve only salad, steak, fries. For the steak, you can have two rounds, fries and sauce are unlimited. Steak are of good quality. I believe each portion would be around or less than 150g so works out you would get around 300g, fries are skinny fries, it goes really well with their signature sauce. However server doesnt really see how many you have left on your plate, once someone of your table need to refill, they will refill the whole table lol. And we waited for at least 10 minutes despite there are tables available. And waitress also didnt serve us immediately despite they only have 1 item on the menu.”

  “This is easily one of my favorite spots in the city! The menu is super simple, but everything they do, they do so well. You start with a simple lettuce, walnut and mustard salad with a fresh baguette, and I genuinely didn’t know lettuce could taste this good. Then the steak and fries, which hit every single time. The steak is always cooked perfectly, the fries are ridiculously addictive, and that sauce!!! I could honestly eat it with a spoon. And you HAVE to save room for the profiteroles. The warm, dark chocolate sauce with the cold ice cream and crunchy roasted almonds is just heavenly. I also love the atmosphere here. It genuinely feels like you’ve stepped into a restaurant in Paris - chic and a little fancy, but still warm and inviting. The service is always great too. Could not recommend it enough. 10/10 every time!”

  “Tbf I don’t know why this place was popular. Went there, it was super empty and yet they put us on a tightly-set dining tables that needs to be shifted when I’m going out. The servers were also quite meh. Not warm at all and just saying what they have rehearsed 1000x. The food I think the worst out of all the aspects, the walnut salad was nothing special, the steak was also nothing special (expected more foe 33 quid). The fries was hard, seems like being fried for multiple times. The only thing good out of the whole meal is the baguette Overall, not a big fan. Feels like a tourist trap. The venue was pretty though”

  “Since the lunch menu only allows you to order one item and the waitress was pushing this option, I expected it to be excellent. Instead, it was just okay. the steak was a oaky a a bity limp, and the fries arrived overcooked. Overall, it didn’t feel worth £38. You can get better lunch menus at other steak restaurants for a similar price. Disappointed, and I wouldn’t return.”

  “Classic French Bistro offering steak and chips at good value. Homemade sauce is a nice touch as well as the unlimited fries. Buzzy atmosphere that can be busy and frantic. Best for social meals, not a romantic dinner date location. Favoured amongst weekday city workers.”

  “Products: Steak frites + Profiteroles Rating: 70/100 (Very Satisfactory) Verdict: A very good if not exceptional steak. Excellent sauce. ENVIRONMENT Neat, comfortable and with a cozy bistronomical feeling. Good hygiene in the toilets. 7/10 PRESENTATION The fries were placed rather haphazardly but the overall plating was acceptable if not showing great care. 6/10 LOGISTICS AND MENU Clear organization. Acceptable design of the menu however and English translation of the dessert items would be appreciated. 7/10 QUALITY AND QUANTITY OF THE FOOD The salad was fresh but the mustard sauce was too strong. (6.5) The entrecôte was tender albeit unevenly cooked (some slices were overdone). The sauce was excellent - buttery, silky and fragrant. Fries were also fresh but could be a bit thicker. (7.25) The profiteroles were excellent with a rich and intense chocolate sauce. (8) 29/40 SERVICE Rather weak. More attentiveness and enthusiasm needed. Rather sluggish. 11/20 VALUE 7/10 Bonus: +3 Minus: -0”

  “Lovely food, the chips are cooked to perfection very crispy and steak so nice! Gets very busy fast however we have went when they open and always got a seat straight away. Tables a bit crowded together. Love the free refill of steak and chips very generous amount given - always leave feeling very full!”

  “I think this place is perfect for people who hate choice. You walk in and there’s basically one starter and one main, the only thing you actually choose is your drink and dessert if you want one. Starter is a simple walnut salad with mustard dressing, main is steak and fries. I’ve seen people complain about portion sizes and honestly I don’t get it. The first serving was already enough for me, and then they come back with a second helping. Yes, they most likely split the steak into two rounds to do it, but overall it still felt like plenty of food. For the steak you can only pick rare or medium, no in-between. I had mine rare and it was good. Their special sauce was also nice. Fries were okay, some crunchy bits, but a bit too oily for my taste. One thing to mention, I found 3 tiny bits of plastic in the steak at one point. I wasn’t angry about it or anything, I just let the server know so the chef could double check things and avoid complaints later. She handled it well and they comped my dessert, which was nice of them but honestly not necessary. Dessert itself was good and kind of interesting, Le Vacherin du Relais. For £7.95 I thought it was pretty decent with mirangue, ice cream, cream and chocolate. Though the chocolate sauce did remind me a little of the kind used on ice cream sundaes. Service wise, the server was lovely. As soon as I mentioned gluten she brought me the allergen menu and warned me about cross contamination. I appreciated the honesty. I’m personally not super sensitive to it, but I probably wouldn’t recommend the place to coeliacs who react heavily because of the shared environment. The table service style is also a bit unusual. For example, I was told to reuse the same utensils from my salad for the steak and fries, and cutlery is more placed on the table for you to sort out than formally set. Atmosphere wise, I know people complain about the noise, but I think that’s a bit unfair. It’s an open restaurant with barely any sound buffering, no booths, and it’s popular, so obviously it’s going to be loud. Overall I did enjoy the experience. Would I go back? Probably only to introduce someone else to the concept rather than for myself.”

  “Yummy steak Restaurant was packed but the staff worked hard so the turnover for tables were very fast. Staff attended very fast and often and food came within 10 minutes. Mustard was a little bit much on the salad but the chips and steak, i had no complaints. Good value for money as there are unlimited chips”
