    We had an amazing experience at this steakhouse for a special graduation dinner. From the moment we walked in, the decor set the tone; stylish, warm, and inviting. The service was outstanding throughout; the staff were attentive, thoughtful, and very much helped make the evening memorable. I had originally ordered one of the wagyu steaks, but the team let me know it was unavailable and generously offered an even better cut as a replacement. It was absolutely perfect, cooked exactly to my liking and bursting with flavour. Every dish was beautifully prepared and delicious. It’s rare to find a place that gets the atmosphere, food, and service just right, but this place delivered on all fronts. A fantastic evening and a steakhouse I’ll be returning when I’m back in Southampton without question. Highly recommend!
