    The food was amazing and the service was excellent. It was our first time coming and we really enjoyed the food. The spicy beef was delicious and the two waitress that came to our table were amazing. We ordered the Cote de boeuf, which we had to have medium well due to being pregnant was absolutely delicious. Had a wonderful meal.

    last visited a few years ago, but on Saturday 18 March was very disappointed, has gone sharply downhill. Food was overpriced pub standard, not the high end suggested on the website. room was scruffy and lacked atmosphere, gave the impression of eating in a canteen, not a relaxed and welcoming restaurant. we sat at a placing for 4 where 2 tables of differing heights were pushed together. Table server Anisha was sweet and obliging, but others gave the impression of being rushed and uncaring. will not visit again.

    i think a steak house to not have the full range of steaks on the menu is pretty poor, Next choice would have been a burger but they wasn't available either. The girl serving and the starters were good so kind of made up for it until we were asked to move as staff were cleaning the area that we were seated in. Been here a few times and always had an ok meal, probably wont be back after this one.

    The food was nowhere near the standard that had been made out to us by friend’s. Poor cut of fillet, chips undercooked, salad was dry and wilted. Mushroom were slimey and poor selection used. Did not make for nice presentation on the plate which a staff member actually commented on themself. Staff were able to offer a partial refund but food was left mostly untouched. We were left very disappointed after initially being very excited to eat at the establishment. We will not try again.

    Second time to Brettingtons and it’s a nice place to return to. Found the portion sizes still too large and presentation of food could be improved (I had the half beef rib with mash and greens), that said it was tasty and my partner enjoyed her steak. Believe the steaks are pricey relative to Hawksmoor, Goodmans, Gaucho.

    Service was adequate. Few items on menu were not available. Place was mostly empty. Fillet Steak was indeed medium rare as requested, however the steak chips seemed as though they had been waiting on the side for ages and everything had been smothered in salt making it almost unedible. Very expensive for food that was ruined.

    First and foremost the food is excellent! Full of flavour and good portion sizes. The service team all seemed happy to be at work and interacted in a friendly and professional manner. My only gripe (and it's a small one) is that when you walk in to the restaurant you are immediately hit with the smells from the kitchen. Given this is primarily a steak and lobster restaurant the smell of cooking beef is a little overpowering. None of that smell is transferred to the main dining area though. Overall I'd highly recommend Brettingtons for great food, friendly staff and value for money.

    I went with my husband and we had opposite views unfortunately. I loved my chosen meal and it lived up to my expectations. My husband was not happy with his steak but didn’t like to say, therefore Brettingtons were unable to rectify the issue. He asked for a medium rare steak and it was obviously medium+. There were a few items unavailable on the menu but it was of no concern for us. The service was excellent, the staff really friendly with a very comfortable atmosphere. I’d certainly visit again.
