Great Restaurant It's very hard to get a restaurant with seafood menu in Cambridge. Everything cooked in perfection. Especially the steak. So tender and juicy, not chewy. Not all restaurant can do that. All of the seafood are well cooked and seasoned. The Mac and cheese had a lot of loster meat inside. The pasta was hearty, rich and butterly but not too salty. Suggested to have a side salad to offset the richness. It's a clean restaurant with a good view. Relax atmosphere. Can I ask more than that?

Great food, good wine selection too, not a huge restaurant, so book ahead. I ordered the whole lobster with fillet (pic 1). A friend had the rare steak (forgot its French name pic 2). Another friend had the porterhouse with an extra of prawns (pic 3)

We had the best place in the location. Near the window, we could see the punters passing by the water, the cocktails were so lovely, and the food was tasty. I took the English pie, a generous portion and for a reasonable price. Try the sticky toffee pudding, it is mindblowing. The service was excellent, and I highly recommend visit this restaurant.

My mum came to visit me after a long time and we had the chance to have a lovely lunch by the river. The food was amazing. We shared the Chateaubriand steak medium rare and a lovely rocket salad that was tasting super fresh! The wedges were amazing and crunchy but not too oily. Sauces were super and the steak was just YUMMY. We have been served by Sibu and he has been super accommodating and he looked after us in a wonderful way. Super guest service. Recommended 100%.

Great steak restaurant with good view of the river and great ambience. The ingredients are fresh, especially steaks. Fresh and good quality meat. The waiting staff were very friendly and accommodating. It was special occasion for me and their service really added a lot of value to the dining experience. Would recommend any choice of steak and Nutella martini which they can make an alcohol free option too.

Beautiful restaurant tucked away beside the River Cam. On their website they suggested places to park which is very convenient. They provide a wide variety of cocktails and wines, that differ in price range. We had the bone marrow and seared scallops to start, they were divine! The steaks were perfectly cooked to our liking; I asked for garlic butter as a sauce with my steak and they were happy to provide me with this option, very pleased! The sticky toffee pudding was delicious! Our waiter Abdul was very tentative, we were served in great time and it was a great experience! 100% going back!
