Bar + Block Steakhouse Kings Cross

"Was after a steak after a long journey down from Newcastle. Atmosphere was nice, lots of people inside and place looks nice. Took a while to be seated even though there was plenty available. Once seated spent another 10+ mins waiting until I flagged down a waiter to take my order. Order also took 30 minutes to arrive. Service is very slow and even my next table customers were talking about it. Food was good and as expected. Could have done with a little more sauce. The little pot had as much as a McDonalds sauce pack. Starter was a Salt and Pepper Squid which was delicious and not too greasy as it was fried. Main I had a sample platter of 3 x 4oz steaks all medium done with peppercorn sauce. They seemed very short on staff, after meal I flagged down waitress for the bill but she went off to serve 4 other table their food before coming back. Overall price was a little expensive but it is London after all. Atmosphere is nice but service was average. A couple of more staff members would fix this issue."

"Pretty delicious food and good service. This place looks a bit more like a beefeater but the food is so much better. I visited with some colleagues without a booking. They were short staffed so asked us to wait half an hour before going into the restaurant to give some diners time to finish. This was fine and I was happy to have been told in advance. When we did sit down to eat the food didn't take too long to arrive and everything was delicious. My steak was cooked perfectly but was a little cold when it arrives. Given that we were told they were short staffed I didn't mind too much and the steak was cooked well. Even though they were short staffed we were not under-served or rushed. Very happy with our meal here."

"Booked in advance for 6pm on a Friday evening for dinner. Happy Hour was until 7pm, so enjoyed a few 2 for 1 cocktails. I also sign up on the registration page and received a 30% off main meals code which was great. Will definitely be visiting again in the near future."

"My daughter's last night in London before she flew back to states. We each had excellent fish & chips with mushy peas. And discovered dipping chips in mushy peas is yummy. Our mojitos and martinis arrived during a 2 for 1 deal. Yummy. My dessert ... a truly fabulous Eaton Mess was awesome. My daughter liked her hot berry with cream dessert too."

"Great restaurant. The fish was well done and the chips were triple fries which made them amazing. The other sides of mushrooms, house salad and hallumi fries were also very good."
