I booked a table for 6 for my 60th Birthday as out of all the restaurants id visited over the years there was no where else id rather be for a milestone birthday than back at the Steak Restaurant in Hatch End. And once again...this place didnt dissapoint. It was a Saturday so there was two sittings. we booked for the later 8.30 and when we arrived the place was packed as always. A warm welcome and straight to our table and drinks ordered. Previously on my last visit i ordered the rib eye 350 thick cut which was excellent. This time i wanted to go one up and ordered the Wagyu 350 rib eye. Maybe double the price of the previous but what a choice. This steak was beyond words the nicest steak id ever had and that was compared to Vegas where a steak was $300 and not a patch on this one. The rest of my friends had various other steaks or fish and all said one of the best meals they had ever had. Staff were all very friendly and even though very busy always had time to stop and chat. Overall an Excellent night was had by all.More

Great lunch today. I had a sirloin steak with frites and very reasonably priced 12.95 plus £3 steak supplement. Great flavour all served really efficiently and supper friendly staff.

The lunch was delicious I can’t fault anything, I had the piri piri chicken sausages to begin with and the sea bass for main. highly recommend

Lovely food , freshly made. Brilliant service ! Would recommend. Coming back for an evening meal soon

Very disappointing. After seeing some good reviews and hearing good things, I was looking forward to this with my friends. The service I found ‘okay’ - not the most attentive or enthusiastic. Two of us had the tempura pacific shrimp as a starter - these...were suspiciously hot. I think even straight out the fryer it would be hard for them to be that hot if you catch my drift! They were bland, the ponzu dipping sauce they came with was no better. The batter was not what I would call tempura, it was much thicker more like a general batter. Honestly you could get much better tempura prawns at the frozen section in Costco and that’s not an exaggeration! One other friend had the peri chicken sausages which he remarked were like a cheap microwave meal. My other friend had the baby back ribs which weren’t much better. We ordered wine with our main and as most of us were having red meat, we opted for a bottle of red. This was far too warm. I understand red should be ambient temperature but when the weather is like it is, some caution should be taken to ensure it stays drinkable, and not tepid! The mains - one friend had the sirloin well done -so his own fault that his steak was ruined!! but his sides were of poor quality. Another friend had the salmon which was not very warm and the teriyaki sauce was not like a teriyaki sauce I’d ever seen, there was far too much and apparently not nice. Another friend had the lamb cutlets. For the price, they looked tiny to me. They were overcooked as he’d requested them medium and they were not the slightest bit pink at all. He was happy enough as he said they tasted nice but I personally would not have been happy. Again the mash he got with his main was poor quality. It was quite grey and not what you’d want in a restaurant to be quite honest. It looked more like low quality pub food. Myself - considering this was a belated meal for my birthday - I had already decided to treat myself to a ribeye. There are 3 on the menu - a standard 225g size and two ‘thick cut’ ones. I went for the smaller thick cut which is 350g (12oz) and for sides I went for broccoli and Mac and cheese. When it arrived, the steak I would say was quite well cooked. It had a decent crust on it, well seasoned and close to the medium-rare I’d asked for, but definitely more medium. My immediate thought before I’d even tasted it however was “there is no way that is a thick cut 350g steak” !! I asked the opinion of my friends and they were unsure. I contemplated asking however I convinced myself I was perhaps incorrect. I wish I hadn’t as the more I ate, the more it became so obvious it was not a 12oz steak! Nowhere near. To me, this was a fairly standard sized ribeye that you could get from a decent supermarket let alone a good butcher. It was not £32 or even £22 worth of steak. It was enjoyable enough and I’d made a note to speak to the waiter when the bill came. As for my sides - the Mac and cheese was much greasier than it needed to be. Yes I know it’s Mac and cheese it’s not health food, but still. Furthermore, it was unbelievably hot so much so that I picked up a piece of the macaroni that fell from the spoon as I was dishing it up and it burnt my finger. Again suspiciously hot and unnecessary. There is having food that is not cold and unpleasant to eat and then there is food that Icarus himself would give a wide berth, and this was that! Whether it had cooked for so long that the flavour had simply been cooked out of it I’m not sure, but it was literally tasteless. As for the broccoli, perhaps I am being slightly pedantic here, but I’d rather expected and hoped for the tenderstem type that is common as a side especially at a steak restaurant, however it was literally just the head of a broccoli with the stem removed. This also felt and tasted to me like the microwaveable type you find in the supermarket. Perfectly fine and convenient if you’ve had a long day at work and need to save time cooking at home. Not at all acceptable at a restaurant I’m afraid. Again, it’s exactly like cheap pub food. If you’re still reading, you’re probably wondering if we complained. Do you know what, it’s a bit of a cop out, but I couldn’t be bothered (I say ‘I’ as I was buying seeng as it was my birthday and a big one at that) ….. such was the list of things I would have moaned about, the fact I couldn’t prove my steak was massively underweight now I’d eaten it (silly me) and the uncaring nature of the staff made me think I’d not achieve much or get a lot if anything taken off our bill. I was having a nice day with mates and I couldn’t be arsed with the negativity. Sometimes it’s better to just get out of there and never go back! At least we told no lies, because we weren’t even asked during or between courses if everything was alright with the food! I don’t think they cared, it felt like they wanted us out which is confusing as we were 4 relatively quiet blokes enjoying a meal. A shame - it didn’t spoil my day as I wouldn’t have let that happen - however with the reviews and assessing the menu and the prices and seeing how it was positioning itself as a restaurant, I excepted far far more. I won’t be returning and I would say if you’ve ever cooked a decent steak meal yourself or even been to a ‘reasonably good’ steak restaurant (not even a renowned top one) you’ll be completely disappointed here. It’s honestly barely better than Wetherspoons food I’m afraid. Sorry!More

We went on recommendation for a ‘pre’ Father’s Day treat knowing we should be able to get booked rather that going with the crowds next Sunday on proper Father’s Day! Food was excellent beef was properly rare and soooo tender.

Very good atmosphere - attentive but relaxed staff. The drinks we had before ordering were served fast and the Peroni was in a chilled glass - always a good sign. The beef carpaccio starter was simply superb - great flavour, good serving and very well...presented. My steak - tederloin rump - was perfectly cooked, tasty and tender with excellent triple cooked fries and a salad. The sea bass was great and a very generous size. Wine v good and not overpriced. All round a lovely evening with great food.More

Lovely Sunday lunch with perfectly cooked roast beef. Excellent and friendly service. Table for 3 to celebrate a birthday

Wow.. what a place.. friends booked this for my birthday and it didn't disappoint in any way.. fantastic food, fantastic service.. great menu.. would highly recommend the rib-eye (main) and the sushi tuna tower (starter).. The steak was perfection (I had the 500g thick cut)......Thank you to all the staff, we will be back!!More

It is difficult to find somewhere to park nearby. The Steak Restaurant is located in a stretch of road which has quite a few places to eat so there is a lot of choice and it attracts a lot of people. It was apparently a...typical Friday evening, every table was booked and the staff were buzzing back and forth between the kitchen and the tables, clearing, cleaning, laying tables, moving the apart and moving them together as required for new groups of diners. All of this went very smoothly with, from what I could see and hear, no fuss at all. It was nice to see the staff noticing and helping each other out, it is evidence of care and pride in their restaurant. We first started with a round of cocktails, they were OK. We then had a selection of starters, the liver parfait was absolutely fine, however my fellow diners felt the batter of the shrimp tempura could have been thinner and crispier. Only one of us had a glass of wine and said it was very good. For mains we had a halloumi burger and a selection of steaks. The burger was pronounced very good indeed. The steaks however were superb! We had orders that were potentially awkward for the chef, three different cuts of different thickness, one medium rare, one rare and one bleu. All four dishes arrived at the same time, all prepared, cooked and plated to perfection, closely followed by the sides of triple fried thick cut chips, thin chips and creamed spinach - lovely, lovely, lovely!!! For dessert we had coffees and cheesecake. The coffees were very nice and the cheesecakes were absolutely fine. The dinner for four was not super cheap, working out at just over £50 each, however the steaks were superb and put the starters and desserts into the shade, well that was and is our opinion. Would we go back? A resounding, "Yes!". Definitely for the steak and on the basis of that I would try other starters to see which one suits my taste best. I want to make this clear, there is nothing wrong with the starters and desserts, they're just not in the same super-league as the steaks!.More

Despite its name, The Steak Restaurant serves more than just meat. There is also a decent selection of fish and vegetarian dishes. Service was good - our food was served pretty quickly. The quality is good and the portions are generous. It is quite a...busy restaurant and can get a bit noisy. The only slight disappointment was being asked to pay the bill before I had completely finished.More

In the heart of Hatch End is The Steak Restaurant. It's one of my favourites! Definitely a 9.5/10 *!! . . On arrival, hot crusty bread & butter is served while you wait ... dangerous but so good. . . Prawn cocktail to start for...me ... the salad has been deliciously dressed and a side of dipping or pouring cocktail sauce for your fresh prawns... delicious . . For mains, I couldn't resist my favourite, the seabass in a lemon butter sauce with capers. It comes with a side of broccoli, and I recommend the creamy mash potato as a side to absorb all that delicious sauce. . . From photos, you can see another prawn starter, which was very delicious too, and the pate I also tried was creamy and tasty with the onion marmalade . . The other mains ordered were the Serloin steak, lamb cutlets & lamb shank, which were all delicious (I'm lucky enough to have been able to try all)! . . Now I'm not a desert person. However, my friend had the Dom Pedro with kahlua. It looked like a milkshake in a chocolate swirl glass and was delicious! ... maybe try it with cointreau next time. Murrays apple pecan & cinnamon pie was melt in your mouth delicious, and the cinnamon flavour caramelised it ... wow! Highly recommend this place I'm a restaurant reviewer and blogger, my Instagram is: msfoodiereviewsforyou.
