Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

If Heineken did steak restaurants they it would be The Herd. had one of the best Ribeye steak ever.The food was first class, the service by Ewline was exceptional, very professional and very friendly. One word of caution the restaurant is in a cellar with...lots of steps. The layout is excellent for a romantic meal. An excellent experienceMore

We visited on a Saturday night and were lucky to get a booking only a couple of hours beforehand. Most importantly, don't let the entrance (or lack of) worry you; If you enter from Argyle St (Pulteney Bridge) then you enter via a side door,...down some ropey steps and past the toilets down more dodgy stairs. However, the welcome from the staff was really warm and friendly which made up for it. There were some negatives - the website says they have an "outstanding wine list", this is a long way from the truth, it is passable with a couple of good wines but they are too expensive for the setting. Also, the char-grilled king prawn starter was really tasty but 3 prawns on a bed of rocket for £11 is just not good enough. You'll be booking here because you like steak though, and they do this fantastically well. We had the sharing platter with a rib-eye (8oz), a sirloin (8oz) and a fillet (4oz) and each was cooked to absolute perfection. The onion rings were crispy and tasty and the red wine jus, although slightly thin, was very good. The sides of Caesar Salad and Spinach with Gorgonzola & Walnuts were both delightful and full of flavour. The bottom line is that this is a super steak restaurant with really good staff and is overall great value if you choose carefully.More

Steak exquisite as usual. However, £34 is too much before adding £5 for fries & £5 for 4 onion rings. Calamari a little dry and tough, not as tender and fresh as it has been in the past. Service very attentive. Seating a little cramped....These minor issues won’t stop us from returning again as the steak is the best. It will just be a while longer and a special occasion to justify the increased cost.More

Excellent steaks, even better service. Karl, the front of the house, was a very fun conversationalist, and just the right amount of attention. I would recommend the T-Bone, and the sharing starter that has EVERYTHING!

Food was great and service was also attentive thanks Josh an enjoyable experience. Such a disappointment that the team did not read my special request that was discussed and noted when I booked the table. It was my son’s 21st and it was noted on...my booking to bring dessert with a birthday theme with sparklers. Unfortunately no one read the booking notes so attention to detail could really be improved. After all you are only 21 once. If you want to wow customers a little more, attention to customer experience would enhance your fab food and table service.More

We had the T-bone steak, 2 sides and a starter for two people and it was the perfect amount of food! The merlot was a fair price and a really good wine. Josh was lovely, thank you for a nice meal!

We visited Bath for our Anniversary and decided on the Herd as it had good reviews. I ordered a medium 10 Oz Rib Eye with extra marbling, £27.95 without any trimmings so expected it to be great. My wife ordered a sirloin. Mine came out...black and about the size of a quarter pound burger without the bun. I cut into it, already disappointed and sure enough completely overdone. Burnt is the only description I can use so I sent it back. My wife carried on as hers wasn’t very warm to start with. I cook a steak how I like it 3 mins each side so after 22 minutes my wife had long since finished (and yes I did time it) I gave up and said we were leaving, at which point they said it was ready but we had our coats on and we’re stood by the till. Anyway we left £62.33 lighter in the pocket and very disappointed. They could have done the right thing and not charged us but no, That was after I disputed the £25.95 bottle of wine, 2/3rds of which was left so they halved that as a gesture, still £62.33! Shameful quality and no real intention to do anything other than relieve us of money. They could have come over at any point and said it won’t be long or similar. Top end price, bottom end steak and service, disgraceful.More

Karl is a fantastic host! He was helpful and engaging. We watched him work the room with efficient elegance, he made our visit all the more enjoyable. The food was fantastic, steaks were cooked to perfection. The starter sharing board is highly recommended. He remembered...that it was my teenager’s and my husband’s birthday and wished them both a happy birthday. Thank you Karl for making our day. Thank you for speaking Cantonese to us. Hope if we come to bath again that Karl will be there to greet us.More

My daughter and I were looking for somewhere to eat, and stumbled onto this resturant. What a touch, we had to wait 30 mintues, as we hadnt booked, but they really looked after us. We had the combo, Fillit, ribeye, and Sirlion. All were cooked...to perfection, couldnt tell you much about the double fried chips and my daughter finished them off. Its nice to see pictures of what actually gets served, I salute you. Good luck guys, you have a lovely little resturant. My only comment would be nice to have some bone marrow and perhaps spinach on the menu, my preferances.More
