"Reopening on 9 December after a portfolio refresh, this Fitzrovia restaurant has been redesigned in earthy tones inspired by the Argentinian landscape (replacing the former cowhide chairs), features an open kitchen and refocuses on steak-led dining with an emphasis on lesser-seen cuts. The menu includes spiral-cut sirloin and fillet steaks, a smart Galician T‑Bone and a new four-cut sampler weighing 1.2 kilograms for around £100, complemented by modish starters such as yellowtail tiradito, diver scallops, burrata and ceviche. Additional initiatives include an anything-goes BYOB policy on Mondays and a “Film Club” that screens movies and serves dishes as they appear on screen. The reopening is being positioned as a major relaunch and an acid test of former chief executive and current rescuer Martin Williams’s strategy to steer the wider portfolio (with the other restaurants continuing to trade) toward a beefy, profitable future." - James Hansen
