Goodman City in City of London, Westminster

As ever from the moment we all walked through the door we were made welcome, hosted like treasured guests and were then treated to fantastic food and wine by the friendly, knowledgeable staff. Already looking forward to joining again in the new year.

Good food, the service is the start of the show however. The steaks are great but side dishes are mediocre.

Beats Hawksmoor on all fronts. Cozier (and lighter) atmosphere. Much more experienced staff. And personally think the steak flavour is superior, even from the entry level rib eye. Tons of wine by the glass too

Amazing service and atmosphere at lunch

Eaten here many times hadn't been for a while and will not be returning.Tbe food, the staff, the whole experience is not a patch on what it was. Much better steak places to go to

Booked some senior people a dinner here. They were crammed onto a too small a table and asked to move to a larger one and they were told no, it’s booked. The restaurant was noisy and not great for the business meal it was. The steak wasn’t great either so I won’t book this again and I couldn’t recommend it either.

Service was attentive, server was knowledgeable and friendly. Steak was delicious, however the fillet side of the porterhouse was a little over, not easy I know but not unreasonable at a top steak restaurant

First time at a Goodmans and it didn’t disappoint, Sirloin was full of flavour and a decent size. Side dishes were all great especially the mac and cheese. Huge selection of steaks and special cuts. Not too many fish/ non beef options but to be expected.

Let me begin by saying that I’m not a frequent steak restaurant visitor. Having said that, this steakhouse is excellent. From the attentive and knowledgeable staff to the kitchen, all elements of my food were perfectly cooked. From the perfect Burrata to the immaculately cooked “bone-out” rib eye, it was a great experience. The spinach and chips sides were so well made and polished with off with a very acceptable Irish coffee. Well done to all concerned.. I’ll be back at some stage.

Had a fantastic day meal here, well looked after by Jonny. Will return and highly recommend

We went for a lunch on a Friday. The atmosphere is very cozy and we were seated just next to the bar. We opted for an Angus T-bone steak and loved the sides (Mac and cheese our favorite!). I really recommend if you want to try steak in London as they have many options from different parts of the of world.

Steaks are fantastic and service even better 10/10 recommended

One of the best stakes I ever had 😍 lovely place

We had a very nice evening here. The service was super attentive, friendly and pleasant. The food was really a 10/10. The steak was the best I've ever had. As side dishes, I can recommend the mac and cheese, the salad and the broccoli ❤️

Everything was perfect: the food, the service, the location. Thank you

Beautiful restaurant in the heart of the city. Specializing in first choice meats and fine cuts, despite this the menu is very varied and guarantees a good alternative even for those who don't eat meat. Friendly and prepared staff. Super recommended

The Team were amazing, the food was excellent as usual and my family and I had a lovely dinner. Thank you!

What a place. You want leave this place hungry for sure and quality of food is amazing!

Very, very good steak (some of the best I've had in London actually), professionally served and in a very swish location. Just be prepared to pay for the experience!

Loved this experience!!! Really nice atmosphere. The service was great and loved the showcase for better meat selection. The food was so delicious, including all the fantastic sides. I would love to come back on my next visit. Definitely a must go to with someone looking for a treat!

Perfect steak and service every time. Great wine list and really chilled vibe. Ruby is a rockstar and always makes us feel at home.

There is literally nowhere better all round than this place in London. Eric the manager and his team are on point every time.

awesome steak, so tasty by itself (australian grass-fed), a very special lunch!

We came here for a midweek lunch and between the two of us, we shared the lakes rib eye and sides of fries, creamed spinach and broccoli. A solid steak but the sides were luke warm, so this aspect could be improved.

The steaks were superb — very tender and cooked perfectly. Prices are very high. Service was very good. Restaurant was quite noisy — apparently lots of bankers going out for after work dinner meetings.

Knowledgeable and friendly service. Great place for a business dinner.

Superb food, (best steak guest has had), good unobtrusive service, good acoustics

Best steakhouse in London by far. Everything was perfect.

I regularly host dinner for a client at Goodman's, for almost 10 years. The food is always superb, the staff from the doorman to bar staff and especially the wait staff so attentive and helpful. I must say the pricing is astronomical, a dinner that was 3k 6 months ago cost me 5.5k this time. Getting OTT

Everything is very delicious! The service is great I recommend Goodman ribeye - fabulous

Came here for lunch with my husband and two small children (2 under 2) and the staff could not have been more helpful or accommodating. I tried a wine that I was not keen on and the sommelier went out of her way to bring me two other wines which she thought I would like after asking my taste. Food was lovely as always. Will be returning.

A great place for a steak dinner and service was superb

The staff were beyond helpful and made this a fantastic lunch. Amazingly well looked after!

Excellent steakhouse with great service.

Really enjoyable. Staff were very good. Not overbearing and good was served at the correct times. Was hungry so went for the larger steak and a starter. Starter was amazing. Steak was average but my partners steak was to die for so hence the four star. Would recommend if your looking to go there on your companies credit card like most in there. It’s a bankers dream

Excellent meal steak was superb,service was very attentive

Well my review towards Goodman would be a bit emotional, I’ve been visiting the restaurant since 2010 where I was doing my masters in the uk since then, Goodman been an excellent and consistent restaurant which never disappoints. Now am a bit old hitting my 37 years old very soon and still visiting Goodman on a yearly basis but with my wider family, nephews, nieces and my wife and as usual this place will never disappoints.. thank you again for the excellent meals and for the lifetime memories ❤️

Best steak in the City. Attentive service. Will certainly return.

Excellent steak 🥩 and great service.

Excellent, service from all staff especially Ceaser and Eric.

Good service Quality food Not cheap but if you love good steaks this is the place to eat 👍

Great food and fantastic service. We tried next to the steak also the fish of the day. It was very tasty the salmon. We definitely come back again!

Very delicate steaks, atmosphere is very authentic and the staff exceeds where possible👍🏻

Have eaten in many steak houses in London and also other cities including New York. Keep coming back to Goodman. Great service, delicious food and nice ambience. Never disappoints.

Top steaks and very good wine selection.

This is probably the best beef restaurant I've ever been to. Even Michelin restaurants have something to look up to! We had dry aged bone in ribeye from UK blue eye. Delicious! Ask for today's special cuts instead of ordering from the regular menu, and you'll be in for a treat!

Really enjoyed the meal. Great food, great service.

Excellent all round. Very tasty halal Australian steak. Good portion size and reasonably priced. Service was outstanding

Up there as one of the best steak meals I’ve had, the sides were just as good. Friendly attentive service.

i was invited by colleagues to this place while i was observing vegetarianism (they werent aware). as such im not in a great place to comment, but i was grateful that they had some vegetarian options as well so i didnt have to go hungry. the steak looked good. i had a quinoa croquette with beans, spinach, mushroom, and mac and cheese.

It’s been a while since the last time I’ve dimmed at Goodman and I can assure you that it won’t be long before I visit again as I had a fantastic meal My starter was a steak tartar- from the texture, the presentation to the flavoures, it was just right - I couldn’t have enough of it The fillet steak that followed was done to perfection, nice medium rare - exactly as it should be whilst chargrilled perfectly from the outside I’ve dinned recently in a few of the known steak restaurants, Goodman certainly tops the list

Incredible. Best steak I have ever had.

The steak was quite nice but nothing special that would distinguish it from other steak restaurants. The dessert was definitely sub par.

Visited Goodman last night with a mate and as always had a wonderful meal with a perfectly cooked Porterhouse for my main. Glad to see the restaurant busy on Tuesday night and looking forward to going again in a few months.

Great steak and coped with a big group very well. Would return.

Superb venue. Exceptional quality food and very carefully selected beverages. Delicious Syrah wine. One of the best service teams I have met so far in London. Kudos to Ilenia and a few others. Worth recommendation to everyone disembarking at the DLR's Bank station in central London.

Splendid, well-cooked steaks. Friendly, helpful and unpretentious service. Generally, it does a lot of simple things very well indeed.

Perfect ! A very pleasant place, top service without being oppressive and quality cuisine

Yesterday, I had a fantastic dinner at Goodman. The service was top quality, the meat cooked perfectly, the starters were really good and we were treated with a small surprise at the end. I will visit more often.

Had a fabulous birthday dinner for my friend. It’s been a while since I’ve been to Goodmans and I thought the triple cooked chips would have been improved but alas not :-( they are still not great (maybe they use frozen potatoes who knows) The rest of the food was amazing, prawns for starer and the steak was amazing and very well cooked & our deserts were fab, loved the happy birthday message on my friends plate, thank you :-) Thank you for amazing service, the place was massively busy for a Wednesday night but they were very attentive … thanks Goodmans, just please sort out your chips :-(

A steakhouse. Good selection of meats and very well prepared. I enjoyed the food.

Delicious meal at Goodman City. Quick service, excellent food and wine, great atmosphere although a little noisy - can’t really hear someone speaking from across the table! Recommend ordering from “The Cut” which they will show you what they have got on a large blackboard. Shared 3 steaks (L->R: ribeye, aged sirloin, chateaubriand) between four people plus sides and desserts 😋 So tasty!

Good business lunch spot and the menu of the day is great value

We were asked on arrival if we were there for an occasion to which we responded that it was our anniversary. When it was time for pudding they brought out a free crème brûlée with Happy Anniversary in chocolate writing. It is an expensive experience, but you get what you pay for and should probably expect this in London anyway. The food was all perfectly done, absolutely no complaints in that department either. I thought they had a good selection of sides. It is a steak house so I didn’t look at the vegetarian options to make any comment (but the menus are all online if you wanted to look). The service was absolutely amazing; there were times I looked at my wine and water and they had definitely been topped up without me noticing. Everyone was super lovely, knowledgable about the food and accommodating!

Classic steak house atmosphere, red leather seating, high ceilings - nice space. The steak itself was good - had the rib eye on the bone, medium rare. It was well cooked, and would have it again, but it was not exceptional.

Don’t have asthma when visiting this restaurant. An abrasive aggressive assumed it was a vape and literally broke in to a conversation to tell me to not vape!! My unit for asthma looks generic but of course doesn’t produce any smoke was reason for the waiter to feel to introduce some false sense of dominance to antagonise me at the dinner table and their restaurant manager had the arrogance not to enquire either. Being inclusive in 2024 should be something to expect rather then to hope for. Had good experience with their other restaurants but be careful visiting their city venue.

Amazing from start to finish! The staff were very knowledgeable, professional and welcoming. The atmosphere and decor are quite traditional but really fit with the menu. One of the best steaks I have had in a long time with the most amazing wine! Will definitely be back when in the area!

Outstanding steak and grilled meats and chips, great wine list, good service. An excellent example of a traditional high end London chop house. Not cheap but high quality.

Arrived, waited - found the two greeters in the cloak room texting and chilling- shown to a nice table - table service ok, attentive; then had a constant stream of kitchen staff and I mean constant, sullenly walking past the table taking a keen interest - off putting. Scallops, delicious but meagre, tartar solid but unremarkable. Steaks cooked well, but again underwhelming and compared to either Gaucho or Hawksmoor lacking that punch of flavour. Chips good, broccoli, over cooked and drowned in a soy/honey confection (not mentioned in the menu) Wine by glass tasty enough, billed marginal more than advertised in the menu - to little to mention - but still. Absolutely average - Gaucho and Hawksmoor walk all over it -

As always great service and food. I will be back. Thank you

Amazing staff, amazing food, I'm definitely coming back soon

Excellent steaks, friendly service, decor would benefit from an overhaul

Good quality steak of course. But wasn't blown away, as you would hope to be at those prices.

This is the best steakhouse I have tried in the City. On the 16th of December I had an amazing evening with the colleagues with a great selection of steaks and sides. A special thanks to the sommelier, Ilenia, who suggested me a bottle not in the list and spotted my taste with a great 10 years Nuites-Saint-Georges. This is when the sommelier makes the difference. I’ll come again for sure!

Very good experience! England ribeye with bone was so delicious, juicy, good smelling! Different smelling from USDA steaks. Highly recommended!

Good steak restaurant in central London. Food and service good, we had Rib Eye and Fillet both good, although the meat menu and daily board options read by the waiter did seem overcomplicated and left us with so many choices, and not all that clear, so we still reverted to standard menu. Overall good experience

Had the wagu beef steak, hands down one of the best steaks I've had in my life

I went here years ago. Everything is a different level here. Perfection

I visited solo in October 2023 for a Japanese A5 wagyu steak dinner, and found this restaurant to be the best value for that specific type of steak that I had come across in my search. All of the serving staff were brilliant, the meat itself was cooked perfectly to my taste, overall a brilliant experience. It was busy when I went, around 8pm on a Friday night, but there was no big wait for anything and the staff all seemed to be very much on top of things.

A steak eating experience like no other.

Great food. Amazing service from Silvia! It’s been a while that I enjoyed the food but the service as well 🥰 must try the Spain one. Something special than normal steak 🥩

Superb food and service, fellow diners raving about how good the broccoli and mushrooms were. But the steaks are star of the show, we all had different cuts and they were perfect.

Arkadiusz served us, with amazing experience & kindness and did us am amazing experience 🙂

The steak is amazing (although for medium-rare it was much closer to fully rare) but we had to choose 3 times because the specials kept selling out. Get there early to avoid disappointment!

Sadly, the steak, the main thing people go to Goodman's for isn't as good as Hawksmoor which I'd say is their main competitor based on price/value. The team at Goodman's is great though and will ensure you have a good experience. They are also very knowledgeable and will explain all the different cuts to you. The sides were great but for the price you pay you'd expect a better steak

Friday lunch here. Excellent food, the tuna tartare was exceptional as was the chateaubriand we shared. Atmosphere was decent - Friday in the city. About 75% full. Wine choice excellent. Mains did take a little while which was because the chicken is slow to cook apparently. The delay was rectified with good service.

I was really disappointed as I had high expectations. This is a premium steak restaurant but only the prices are premium. The ribeye steak was average (not really tasty or tender) and definitely not worth the price (55GBP). You can find a much better (same weight) ribeye at Hawksmoor for 25% less.

Food good and table staff helpful. 2 stars due to arrogant waiter at bar. Unreasonable, comfontatuonal and argumentative. Never had a similar experience in any restaurant, anywhere!

We had a wonderful time at Goodman City. Itzi had excellent knowledge of the full menu and beyond while making us feel both welcome and relaxed. The quality of the steak is always superb.

Superb steak house! Food wine and atmosphere, you get it all with great service. Worth a vist!

I have used Gooman City a few times and it never disappoints. Food and service are excellent and the atmosphere is always lively. The Steaks are fantastic, and there's a great choice.

Here for a work dinner with colleagues. Lovely clubbing vibe but the decor makes the place too noisy for easy conversation. Good steaks of course and a nice range of sides. One wine bottle good, but the second was corked

New favourite London steakhouse.

This was a return visit to Goodman after a very long break (5+ years). Hawksmoor has done a far better job of grabbing my attention these last few years, due to their expanding number of locations, meal kits during lockdown and generally more visible advertising efforts. Benefits of being private equity owned I suppose. I visited the Goodman City location with 3 friends on a Tuesday night. The published menu does offer a decent selection, but there are further cuts of steak available on the blackboard, including larger options for sharing. We tried some oysters to start, and I followed with the 400g USDA rib-eye, plus shared sides of the truffle chips, mushrooms, creamed spinach and carrots. We ordered the chocolate pave and the cheesecake for dessert. The food was very good all round, I was quite pleased with the quality of the steak, and the sides and sauces were all well prepared. Service was attentive and quite efficient, despite the restaurant being very busy at the time. The bill for the 4 of us came to £430, of which £85 was spent on drinks. On the whole, a very enjoyable steak dinner. It was pleasing to see Goodman was just as good as I remembered, and in my view it continues to be a worthy opponent to Hawksmoor…

Used to love this place. But the steak was substandard. All on the table agreed. Chips were average and other sides were ok. Overall 3/5.

I went to Goodman City with my partner’s family after his graduation. We were first greeted by the lovely receptionist and was offered a better seat, food was really good and they even surprised my partner with a graduation treat (a chocolate cupcake and a scoop of vanilla icecream) 🥰 P.S. The mac and cheese was just 🤤🤤🤤 Will definitely return without hesitation.

Great food. Lovely, professional and polite service 👌

We found ourselves in this lovely restaurant by chance but could not be happier with the choice. My partner is a pescetarian and we were pleasantly surprised with the choice of fish available in a mainly steak house. The experience was made even better by the lovely Itza, who provided us such good recommendations and amazing service. As you can see by the photos, looking forward to going back.

Went on a business lunch, and came back full and happy! The food is excellent if you are a meat eater. One in the group was vegetarian and there was not very many options for him - but that is only fair. You know that this is a steakhouse, so you should not expect neither pizza nor many vegetarian options. Service was really good and all of us were very happy with the food - even the vegetarian. Nice tables for business meals.
