Steak of the Art in Bristol, City of

We were really looking forward to this after completing an escape room nearby. We had an early dinner booked, on arrival we noticed another a dog in the restaurant, the dog was barking throughout our meal, whilst we are a group of pet owners we all felt dog barking in a restaurant was inappropriate. That aside drinks came quickly. Starters took a long time considering the restaurant was quiet. The prawns and squid starters were luke warm and fairly bland. The steaks came out hot, but the rib eye was poor quality for the price, blue cheese sauce was nice and so was the cabbage side. Having eaten at many steak restaurants we felt this was poor, everything is extra so actually it ended up being quite expensive and not worth it. One of our party started to feel unwell and just wanted to leave, so we didn't report our disappointment. We won't be back far better steak options in Bristol.

We went here for my Grandsons 18th Birthday Party and there were 11 of us. The table was booked for 19.00 and we were all there early. They gave us a side room which was curtained off from the rest of the restaurant so it was nice and private. We ordered drinks and then we waited and we waited, and we waited. No one came near us to ask if we wanted more drinks, or to advise where our food was, that we had to pre order a week before. Quite why, is still a mystery. After an hour, I asked one of the waiting staff what was going on. Basically we'd been overlooked/forgotten !! Only 3 of us were having a starter and a few minutes later they arrived. I had the Squid which was ok, but it was only warm, not hot. Then the main courses arrived about 10 minutes later. I had chosen a Ribeye Steak and it was nicely cooked, although there was a lot of meat juice swimming around on my plate. The blue cheese sauce was nice and the chips (very chunky) were ok We summoned the Manager to voice our displeasure at the service and after some negotiations, he took 10% off our bill and removed the service charge. Personally, I would have been much happier with a full bill and far better service !

Excellent service and great customer service. Brilliant food and really attentive! Thank you to all of the staff to making my partners birthday special.

Fantastic place, themed booths are awesome. Food was amazing and our host server Izzy could not have been more attentive!! Definitely recommend.

What a shambles! This place has gone down the drain. We arrived a little early and they wanted us in a very quiet Friday night room. Ordered, and waited, and waited. We waited for so long other tables had left after arriving after us. We felt like we had been forgotten. Are starters were warm ish so gave them the be if it of the doubt. An hour and a half later are stakes were cold and unseasoned. You know it’s not hot when the butter does melt!! Sent it back. They then came out with the sames steaks that I can only assume were microwaved. When you pay nearly £45 for a steak you expect much better than this. We were so upset, they only offered us a discount or a free drink - but we don’t drink alcohol!! The waitress kept saying the manager would come over but he never did. We didn’t touch the food - as 2 of the sides were also come and the other sudes never even came! We just walked out - something we have never had to do. We will never go back. Stay away!

Best steak I have tasted for some time in Bristol. Service was good for us but a large private party arrived just after us leaving some of the other small tables were a bit stressed. Still we were happy. Only downside is that it is not cheap here.

I visited with my husband on Halloween and I can easily say this is the worst experience and meal we have received yet. The staff seemed polite to start with, until they started laughing at us behind the bar when we challenged our incorrect bill. They were trying to charge us for two additional starters that we had. We waited a really long time for our drinks order to be taken, and even longer to receive them. They forgot to give us our bottle of wine that we ordered, and when we requested it, they asked again what it was we wanted. The food also took a relatively long time to come, and we weren't asked how everything was throughout the meal. The chips were horrendous and raw, still being hard in the middle. They also had a really bad taste. The beef dripping mash was inedible and tasted oily and disgusting. The mac and cheese was OK, not the best but not the worst, noting that the 'beef' was mostly fat. The restaurant was quiet, with only 4 or 5 tables full. For a big restaurant and a small number of guests, I think the service should have been much better. I also think it's cheeky that a 10% service charge is added on to the bill, making you feel awkward for asking to remove it. We are in England, it is not an obligation to tip, and frankly we didn't want to after our meal and service was so bad. We also didn't get asked whether there were any dietary requirements, which I find quite poor. I understand it is the consumers responsibility to make the staff aware of allergies, but sometimes it is appreciated to be asked. I also couldn't see any allergen information on the menu. The complaints weren't dealt with effectively, and I strongly suggest reading all of the other reviews before deciding to visit this place. We definitely will not be back, but will be returning to the best steakhouse in Bristol, Pasture.

The service was poor and non existent. We were sat down by the manager who was great, and served by a lady. It took a while to get served and we received no service during our meal. We ordered a bottle of wine along with two other drinks but this wasn't received until we asked for it, about 20 minutes later. We weren't asked how our food was or if we needed anything. We requested some condiments which were provided but still no mention of how the food was. We ordered a side of beef dripping mash which we thought was inedible. It tasted really foul, oily and the consistency and texture wasn't nice. It didn't look particularly appealing, and it was grainy and lumpy. The hand cut chips didn't seem cooked enough, they were hard and tasted like dirt. When our plates were collected we were asked if we would like dessert. The mash was put to one side in the dish it was presented in, hardly having been touched, and there was still no queries on whether our meal was OK. We had to mention the issue with the mash and chips and our overall bad experience. The waitress offered to ask the manager to come over, which we accepted. The managed came over and listened to our complaint and said he would remove the mash from the bill and said that isn't what they would expect of the mash, nor the level of service, which he was providing. We received our 'amended' bill which had items on there that we didn't even order. The waitress took the receipt over to the bar, where she had a laugh with the manager and another member of staff at the bar. They were all clearing laughing whilst having a look at the receipt we were given. We felt uncomfortable and felt as if we were being laughed at which is highly unprofessional. The waitress approached our table laughing again, still with no receipt. The manager then sat down another table and at this point we didn't have our receipt. We stood up and went to the bar where the waitress said not to leave and our receipt is coming. We paid the bill but overall we just aren't happy with the quality of food that we were served, considering you claim to serve the best steak in the city, and the service which was truly shocking.

Hemos estado en Steak of the Art dos veces ahora – una en un día tranquilo de semana y otra en un sábado ocupado. Ambas veces, nos sentamos de inmediato, pero el sábado, nos dijeron que la única opción era una mesa de bar porque el lugar estaba lleno, así que lo tomamos. Los filetes eran muy sabrosos, pero la mejor parte eran definitivamente los entrantes y los lados - las puntas quemadas y las papas fritas de trufa eran increíbles. No hay quejas sobre la comida! La razón por la que le doy 4 estrellas en lugar de 5 es la experiencia del sábado. El restaurante estaba lleno, la gente estaba siendo rechazada en la puerta, y el personal parecía estresado y apresurado, lo que hizo el ambiente un poco caótico. Parecían carentes de personal, lo que no ayudó. El bar estaba siendo manejado por una persona que claramente estaba luchando, y mucha gente en el bar no tomaba bebidas porque el personal estaba concentrado en las mesas. Durante la semana, tomamos cócteles como Margarita del Diablo y Passion is Dead – estaban bien, pero no parecía haber un camarero apropiado, solo nuestra camarera haciéndolos. El fin de semana, los cócteles fueron geniales, y no tuvimos que esperar mucho a pesar de que el lugar estaba lleno. En general, Steak of the Art es un gran lugar para la comida, pero podrían beneficiarse de más personal en las noches ocupadas. Dicho esto, tal vez el contraste con el tranquilo día de semana muestra que puede ser golpeado o fallado dependiendo de cuándo visite.

Wonderful meat! Not to mention the place with attention to the smallest details. I recommend it

Egle was amazing with everything from the moment we walked in! She gave us a great table and helped us thoroughly with the menu and recommendations. I am a steak critic, and I can honestly say this is one of the nicest steaks I have ever had. I highly recommend this place to stake lovers. Will definitely be back next time I’m in Bristol!

Lovely spot, cosy atmosphere, liked the food

The food was not well cooked and the behavior of the staff was kind of judgmental. I never saw this kind of attitude anywhere in the UK.

Had a date night here , booked in advance but wasn't busy. Was taking pictures of the art and the waiter moved us to better seats so I could enjoy the art more lol. Food was good but pricey. Quick service asked to change my sauce with my steak and they did and didn't charge me which I appreciated. Lovely artistic atmosphere. Location wise is handy as it's close to town but away from the busy streets. They do NHS discount which was great 😃

Paid around £90 for the Tomahawk style sharer. Asked for the steak to be cooked to medium. Unfortunately, it was rare. Sides and drinks were really nice. Restaurant offered 10% off the bill, and the server was really nice. Unfortunately, for the price we paid, I wouldn't return to the restaurant.

Atmosfera speciale, immersi nell'arte che viene dedicata con diversi stili ad ogni tavolo, davvero originale. Servizio cortese e efficiente. Ottima la flat iron nella materia prima e nella cottura. Buona anche la rump in versione Kids, bene la birra. In centro, location comoda per le maggiori attrazioni di Bristol (a proposito di arte, ci si imbatte facilmente in qualche opera originale di Banksy...)

Impromptu work dinner. They accommodated us in the back room without issue. Service good and the steaks were amazing. Everyone said they were sooooo tasty. The cabbages d bacon side was to die for. Really good value. Highly recommend

Cena de trabajo improvisada para 10 de nosotros mientras estamos en Bristol. Uno de los mejores filetes que hemos probado. ¡Qué bueno! Gran personal y servicio y los lados eran súper sabrosos también. ¡Gran trabajo!

Excellent design , good service , good food at an excellent spot. The steaks were not as tender as I would expect though

Very good food and service. Steak was cooked well and very tasty dishes. Would definitely visit again. Unfortunately did not have room for dessert.

Me and my Mum ordered a steak each and two sides. The beef mac and cheese was inedible…the ‘chunks of beef’ on top were either pure fat or had a strange taste. The dish was comparable to dog food! Tried my mums steak, which had a vinegary sort of taste to it. My steak came out blue when I had asked for medium and the reasoning was ‘it wasn’t rested long enough’ when in actual fact, it just wasn’t cooked anywhere near correctly. I had a new one cooked for me, which came out well done. By this point, my mum had almost finished hers, so I just ate what I had been given. They did offer a discount, hence the service stars, (we asked for a glass of Prosecco each instead). Came to over £100 and neither of us enjoyed our food, such a waste of money 😢 have been here a couple of times a number of years back and couldn’t fault it, but won’t be coming again

Best steak I've had in a while. The mash potatoes weren't so great. Service was really good but the atmosphere was kinda dead.

Excellent first experience at the Bristol location last night (Friday). Superb service from the waitress, Arina,, steaks were perfectly cooked and side dishes and deserts very tasty. Good selection on the children’s menu too. Great place to celebrate a family member’s birthday or a big event - or just enjoy great times with friends. Music level is great (you can perfectly have a conversation without having to raise your voice). 10% gratuity well deserved on this occasion. Good decor and display and everything was clean and tidy. 4.5/5 star overall. Will highly recommend.

Really enjoy coming here. Have returned on a few occasions and the food is consistently delicious. I would recommend the lunch menu which is a steak + side + sauce for £15 - can’t really go wrong with the value for money. Outdoor seating which is really nice , quiet atmosphere and chilled out vibes. Our server was Arina who was so accommodating and provided an amazing service. She made some really good recommendations including the cheesecake for dessert which was so yummy. Overall is always a delight to eat here and would definitely recommend.

Had a lovely meal for my husbands 30th today - they even bought him out a free brownie desert to celebrate. The steak was perfection and the sides were so yummy!

Absolutely delicious steak and sides. We waited quite a long time before we could order but all the staff were friendly and the food came quite quickly after we'd ordered.

Service was ‘Fawlty Towers’ style. Ribeye was cold. Filet lovely but we asked for medium and both steaks were well done. We were offered steak knives after we finished. Many bizarre service issues. Not a great atmosphere. Probably won’t go again.

Not bad, not great, bit pricey for bang average, Staff were great & accommodating. Food took a while however they were busy.

We fell in love (ironically) with Steak of the Art on Valentines day this year when we came in for our first visit where we had an amazing meal and amazing service, so much so on exiting the restaurant I called the manager over to tell them how amazing our server was and how good the food was. We loved it so much that it was a no-brainer where we would go on my fiancee's birthday with our extended family. 2 of whom are massive fans of pasture which we also visited with them in March and spent the whole night telling them how much better SOA was. Although childish this started a bit of a weird family rivalry where we sung SOA praises while they defended pasture so I was expecting big things for the birthday visit.... Sadly, our visit last night was really not good at all. The restaurant was very quiet (which is not a massive problem) but after our visit I understand why.... There was a real lack of atmosphere from the start which was only exasperated by the music randomly turning off and the restaurant being in silence with about 12 covers! Despite being nowhere near what I would call busy our service was really poor..... The 2x soft drinks which were ordered (2 cokes I believe) were warm/room temperature seemingly poured straight from a bottle that hadn't been chilled. What made the poor service even more challenging was the staff seemingly had no dress code, so who worked there and who was a guest was a lottery, we even accidentally asked another patron if they worked there as a result! We were left unattended for long periods at a time and sat with dirty plates after our starters finished which weren't collected until our mains came... which took some time! (The honey beer bread which I raved about before this time was basically cold toast!) Myself and my fiancee ordered a tomahawk with Mac n Cheese and truffle fries..... the fries tasted like oven chips with a bit or parmesan thrown on top.... These remained virtually untouched. My biggest gripe, however, was the steak itself. Every steak ordered was massively over cooked. Our "medium" steak was very well done, as was the "medium well" and the well done fillet was incinerated! This made the steak chewy and dry so much so as it cooled down it was inedible! The cheese sauce barely tasted of cheese at all and my brother in law (the pasture fan) mocked me the whole way home, his jibes I sadly had to accept and agree with this time! There was also a £30 service charge added which we asked to be removed as the service was about a 3/10! I just feel that this is such a shame as this was for a special birthday occasion and we had such a positive first experience, so much so we were even planning on visiting the Cardiff branch when we are in the area for a concert in a few weeks time which we will now change our plans for. While our Valentines day visit was amazing I sadly don't think we will return and book either Pasture in advance or Mugshot next time we want a steak in Bristol.

Unfortunately we had a very disappointing experience going for dinner at Steak of the Art. We ordered a starter & then steak for mains. Our steak arrived before we’d finished our starter & felt rushed. Whilst we were waiting on our side dishes to go with the steaks, we were brought two starters that weren’t for us, and then had to wait almost 10 minutes for our side dishes to arrive. By that point, our steaks were cold. When we finished dinner & they brought the bill, they had charged us for an additional side that we didn’t order and charged us for an extra to our steak that we did order, but never arrived. When we asked to remove the service charge from the bill due to all the issues, they did not ask for feedback / what could have been improved etc. they just took it off, took payment & that was it. For how much this restaurant costs, we were thoroughly disappointed by the service & the food was average. We would not recommend.

Couldn't complain....the staff are very friendly and welcoming and the food was lovely.

Shame - poor - we’ve been before and it was good. Restaurant quiet, steak send back twice. Duck croquettes had changed from shredded to duck to mostly potato. Very disappointed would rather pay more and go to Pasture !!

To the people working in this kitchen, I would strongly recommend looking into other professions. Leather tanning or any other trade relating to tough materials would suit particularly well. As per eating here - life is too short. I also don't appreciate the insinuation that our group behaved inappropriately in any way in the establishment's reply.

Posted a review about our experience on Tripadvisor however got no response: Visited steak of the art for dinner on the 25th of February to celebrate a birthday. The food was good but for the price it was arguably not worth it. We were the only two in the restaurant and they alerted us they were closing the bar mid way through our meal. This wasn’t a huge issue. I then requested they take the service charge off because I wanted to pay it in cash. Our waiter did this and I left a £10 tip (more than the optional service charge). Before leaving we went to the bathroom, when coming out I overheard the waiters talking about us. They were swearing and saying that most people don’t leave tips when they say they will and that they didn’t think we would. This language continued for a few minutes before they realised we had not yet left. This was incredibly unprofessional behaviour and dampened what had been a very pleasant evening.

Arrived to find the only table left was a high table bench seats. Myself and husband struggled to get up we both have problems with our legs. I did say to the waiter we are going to struggle. This was booked a few weeks in advance. There were five of us. They took our order and asked if we wanted water for the table only 3 glasses so we asked for more glasses as I went to pour the water the glass had a really bad crack in it which would have cut my mouth. My husband ordered another drink which took ages to come he had to ask again. Only 3 sets of cutlery on the table had to ask for more. We 2 lots of starters to share we had to use same cutlery for the mains. The steaks were nice over priced. We have been a few times before but I think this will be our last. My husband and myself were not comfortable sitting at the table and struggled when getting up and down we would have been more comfortable standing up to eat. We did not pay the service charge because the service wasn't good and it wasn't that busy

This is a one star review for two reasons. The first on is they don't really know how to cook a medium-rare steak and when you send it back you get another one that is rare and cold in the middle. And that leads to the second reason. They give you a discount on your meal, but actually forget to take it off the bill. And blame it on a new chef. I wouldn't recommend this place if you wanted to eat nice steak. (Go to Pasture ;) )

If you want a steak cooked properly, go to Pasture. Steaks at steak of the Art are not as good for what they cost. Nice hand cut chips tho.

I booked a table for seven people at 8. When I made the booking, I asked if the food would be ready by 9.30, because we had a booking somewhere else. They assured us that the food would be ready way before that. We were there at 7.50 and sat down. They took the orders at 8.05. At 9.10 they hadn't brought out any dishes yet. I asked if it would take any longer, because we had to be somewhere else, and they said it would still take 35-40 more minutes to get the food. We had to leave without having eaten, and the restaurant wasn't that busy. We were very disappointed.

The venue is really lovely, well decorated, and creates a nice atmosphere. This was my 3rd time visiting, as the food is usually lovely, however a bit on the expensive side for the portion sizes. all sides are to be ordered separately and are tiny in size for the price you pay. Great with allergies however, I am Coeliac and they were able to reassure me that my food is prepared and cooked separately from anything containing gluten. I would definitely visit more if the prices were a little more reasonable.

Booked a table for my partners birthday and the staff were amazing, our host was very accommodating and our waitress Arina went above and beyond to make it special and the food was 10/10, would definitely go back!

Steak was good however the beer honey bread starter was not good it was like eating stale toast with margarine.

I was told that this place has a very good steaks came here for dinner honestly the best steak I’ve had since moving to Bristol. I ordered the ribeye steak which was really good and juicy and full of flavours. Big sebaceous Resturant good vibes amazing stuff and quick service Big shout out to James, who was our waiter, he was friendly and nice. And you have to check out the art gallery ‏ألذ مطعم ستيك في برستول. الريب اي خورافي يستاهل التجربه

Slow service, food was ok. Expensive for what we had to be honest, £140 3 of us, mains and drinks. Be careful they pre-load a service charge.

Ordered 1kg / £125 of Chateaubriand medium rare. Was cooked medium rare, but was served cold and definitely not a premium cut of meat. Sides and sauces were both small and disappointing.

Service was amazing! We went there with a group of friends and the staff were very nice and helpful! The food was really really good for real! And the cocktails too! Definitely recommend, it was really PERFECT!

Went a couple of years ago but my FB memories prompted me to do a review - great place if you can get a booth which made the difference when we moved to one, real quirky design (a positive thing!) and a delicious, really well cooked, seasoned and rested steak. The sides completely elevated the meal tho, took it from really good to bloody marvellous for us. Aim to visit again, can’t believe have fast time flies!

Very nice place, food was very good and staff very attentive and helpful!

We ordered in advance as we were a big table, this gave me high expectations of well organised service, on arrival I was told there was no blue cheese sauce! This was the first warning sign. My king prawn starter arrived, the first one was not hot, the second was cool, I did not eat the third one. As we were a group I did not send it back, that just means you get a replacement when everyone has finished their starters and everyone has to wait while you gulp down your starter. I pointed out the problem and later in the meal the waiter told me they had been removed from the bill. This was a business meal and I was a guest so this meant nothing to me. The steak arrived, it was average at best, the replacement red wine sauce was tepid, gloopy and only added insult to injury on the missing blue cheese sauce. If you look at the web booked order in the afternoon and have no blue cheese sauce go out to one of the many shops in Bristol and buy some blue cheese and make some. The fact there was none means either the web order is ignored until people arrive, the chef either doesn’t care enough to go and get some blue cheese or that they are incapable of making it. Given how bad my king prawns were done I suspect they lack the ability. My colleague had ordered her steak medium to well done and it was well done to the point where it could not be bent, it was hard as a board. I could tell you about desert but it was equally disappointing but the coffee was good. When the only part of the meal I can say anything nice about is the coffee then it is really bad. Buy some blue cheese, serve your prawns hot, the name builds expectations for the steak, get better ones and cook them better. Sorry this is an avoid from me, I am in Bristol airport Cabin restaurant and the food here is better. If airport departure area food is better than a restaurant something is very wrong.

I love this place. The food was great. Cocktails on top. Will definitely come back.

Great steak, what more could you want?

Our second visit to Steak of the Art and another delicious meal. All the food was delicious but we particularly loved the creamy cabbage. The burnt ends definitely deserve a mention too! Great service and the wine wasn’t over priced either. All in all a great evening out!

Friendly staff lovely food steak cooked to perfection 👌

The food was tasty, and the service at a relaxed pace. We received everything we ordered and didn't feel rushed. The quiet atmosphere could be chalked up to the lack of other patrons at the time we dined. Would certainly visit again when I was not in a hurry.

food looked amazing I went for short rib roast dinner, it was full of sauce but did not hold any flavour, Yorkshire pudding was abit airy, potatoes could be better but everything else was good id eat here again but I'd choose something different, the chicken wings was amazing duck croquettes need more flavour broccoli and leek cheese was amazing too. cocktails good too

came for a meal last night with my boy outstanding as usual never had a bad meal here and i've been 6 or 7 times now when a restaurant is this good i feel compelled to leave a good review well done !

Had an excellent steak here. Cameron was super friendly and helpful. Nice vibe, interesting and comfortable decor. Would recommend.

Went for the roast 15.95 and it was amazing and so filling!

Visited post Cheltenham Races after a good day out, arrived a bit late for our booking time, apologised and staff were fine. Prawn starters were meaty, intact prawns, very tasty. Two had rare flat-iron steaks, l had the large peppered rump, wow, just wow. The sides of onion rings were huge and perfectly battered and cooked. We had one bottle of rose wine between us. Service was excellent by a musician from Bedminster who was interested and interesting. Will be back.

Nice restaurant in good location with friendly staff. Steak was lovely but chips were horrible, had a nasty taste so I couldn't eat them. Quite pricey but it is a steak restaurant in the tourist part of town so that is to be expected.

I got the flat iron steak which was delicious. Sides of creamed leeks and sriracha broccoli were nice too but nothing special. Service was great and the cocktails lovely!

I like it! 👍 One of that place were you feel good. I think I liked it more, and the steak... OMG! sooo good

Great food, felt dismissed a little by server - closed kitchen but we were not told until we went to order desert. Also got order wrong, but was quickly corrected. Nice place

Visited steak of the art for dinner on the 25th of February to celebrate a birthday. The food was good but for the price it was arguably not worth it.

This is a 3.5 review from me, more than a 4... Very nice place, good environment. Service as expected, good. Food was good, very tasty and tender meat However, it was a bit cold place there and expensive for the meat portions given. I expected a bit more for a 90 pounds tomahawk. It had a big bone, compared to the meat portion ...

Very mediocre food. I expected much more given the reviews. Also, we had to wait 50 minutes for the food to come out when there were only four other tables occupied. The waiter was entirely unconcerned by the delay. It's clearly very poorly managed and I won't be going back.

First time coming to this restaurant and will never come back. The place was not busy when we arrived. We had to wait for a long time for our starter, to be fair it was good. When we finished our starter, we had been waiting for a long time for our main too. We had to ask the manager where our food were, and typical answer "they are just plating it". The manager did not even go to the kitchen to check, how can she say they are just plating our food? We had to wait another 10 minutes again after we had asked the manager about our food. I think our main orders were forgotten. The steak was not worth the wait. The chips were tasteless and not crispy. The peppercorn sauce was expensive, sour, tasteless and disgusting. . There are better restaurants nearby.

I would like to state, we have not actually eaten here yet (our booking is for 26th Jan), however, I felt the need to publicly thank Andrés for making the booking of such a large group an absolute breeze and professionally. We weren't an easy group in terms of being organised with our orders, but he was very patient with me over email and has given us a lot of confidence for tomorrows booking!

Booked a table for 17 for a special birthday, the service from enquiring to leaving the restaurant was exceptional. Thank you

Relaxed atmosphere, good selection of drinks and food. Would recommend.

Food wasn’t great and service was slow. It took us an hour from receiving our starters to get our mains. Expensive for what it is.

Booked my husband & I a date night away to watch the Rugby. My husband loves steak and we’d previously visited STOA in Cardiff which was great so I booked this as a treat. On arrival tonight the place was empty, not a soul in the place apart from 1 nice guy who appeared from the back. He was very attentive and took our order for drinks & food within a short while. Drinks arrived and they were delicious. A mango cocktail and a raspberry dream. Food took ages. After about 40 mins a man from the kitchen, who I presumed was the chef walked past us and spoke to the server who then went back to the kitchen and proceeded to bring out our food. A special of a shearing steak +++. It was freezing, along with the chips & creamy, bacon cabbage. Very disappointed.

Nice toilets shame about the food

THANK YOU SO SO MUCH For the best service and such a amazing 3 course Christmas meal price was fantastic for £38.00 your 👨‍🍳 chefs smashed it everything was absolutely delicious 😋 you made our Christmas party very special 💯 THANK YOU STEAK OF THE ART we will be back

If you enjoy steak and art, this is definitely the place for you. We opted for the cheapest available steak, which was cooked to perfection. We sat in the Alice in Wonderland booth, which was beautiful. I'd imagine you'd need to book a booth at peak times. Great surroundings, fabulous food, excellent service.

Great steak house nice atmosphere would go again

Excellent as always. Christmas meal last night . Lovely food and plenty of it

I didn't think to take any photos because as soon as it arrived I wanted it in my belly. Went with my gf and I got the rump, she got the rib-eye. Mine medium rare, hers medium. The steaks were cooked to perfection. I tried some of the rib-eye after the chef recommended medium. I've never had it before. It was so delicately delicious. We also got burnt ends as an appetiser and my god, the burnt ends. Crispy, chewy, caramelised, smoky, salty, sweet ... I could have eaten them alone and been happy. The wait staff were all lovely. The atmosphere was great and the decor was lovely too. Each booth had a different theme. We got sat in a Mexican day of the dead inspired booth and the artwork was beautiful. We even had people stopping by to take photos. Overall the whole experience was amazing and I will definitely be going again.

Food tasted good, but it was very dirty. Restaurant was about 7% filled, but table, booth and floor was full of crumbs and food. Also ordered a 680g cote de beouf, but it was definitely not that big as well as overcooked

Really well designed restaurant and dining area that doubles as a local, Bristol area art gallery. Regularly priced steaks for a good steak house and plenty of options for sides and sauces. Friendly and attentive service. Make sure to reserve a table.

Great night out!!! We went as a group of 3 for a meal out, great aesthetic, great atmosphere, great music, and not too loud, nice selection of cuts on the menu plus a good amount of special meat cuts on the board, I went for the Grilled Prawn starter which was nice, then for the T-bone with some sides for main, medium-rare and came out cooked to perfection, very tasty and flavourful would definitely recommend, then the blueberry creme brulee cheesecake to finish which was superb, picked up a little bit of artwork from the local gallery on the way out aswell. Definitely worth a trip if you are into meat, there were some veggie options aswell, I great place to have a night out.

Visited here for the First time with other who also had not been before. Situated close to Millennium square with parking close which is handy. The venue is modern and a bit quirky but not really intimate. the service was great and the steaks were very well cooked with good flavour. The prices though are high ranging from£37 to £42 for steaks once you have taken into account sides, so for the price you would think the venue was quite High end in regards to decor and atmosphere but it was not. To add on a 10 percent service charge does once again make this not a cheap venue, more of a celebration occasion venue than a romantic regular

We had the best steak in Bristol 100/10 , you can’t go wrong with starters tasted so good 👍🙌

We love this place. The strange decor and splendid team. Superb food beautifully served. Sure the prices have gone up, but that's everywhere isn't it?

10/10 one of the best steaks i've had in this city!

Some of the best steak in Bristol. Simple.

Lovely interesting quirky restaurant gallery. Each table is themed and well the chairs are really comfy. Art is great on the walls and some of it is for sale. Food is well cooked and presented. Would recommend

Wanting to treat my partner for her birthday we went to steak of the art, wow from the great decor to the service, everything was excellent. 1st the food was unbelievable and cooked to perfection, we wasn't quite sure on the best wine for the meal and stuck between two choices, not a problem our waitress brought us a sample of each, we made our choice. The starters were excellent and it's been a number of years that we've had steak that tasted so good and cooked just right. With am excellent desert to finish off we couldn't of asked for a better evening, it was so nice to be able to have a meal where we didn't have to shout over the table to hear each other. Lastly a big shout out to our waitress Jenny whom ensured we had a great evening and everything was OK. We can't wait to go again, many thanks

Great meal with my daughter before she goes to university

Unique decor with a welcoming atmosphere. We had Burnt Ends then steak and home cut fries, will definitely be returning for the roast meal !

To say that this is a fantastic steak restaurant is to consider other steak restaurants to be in any way equivalent. This is a superlative example of a restaurant. The ambience is fabulous with staff that are attentive without being over familiar. The wine list is extensive and agreeably priced, with a decent bottle being priced around the same as a main course. They do have ridiculously priced bottles for all you roary banker types who need to impress your status, but the list is attached in favour of people who appreciate a good grape without having to flex. The steaks, oh the steaks! I've not had a better steak outside of Argentina. Seasoned beautifully, cooked exactly to order with a medium rare coming out with a good amount of pink in the meat. Friends in my party had a tomahawk and the buttery plate of joy that was presented took the breath away. You don't need a reason to go here, just go!!

If there were more stars they still wouldn't have been enough for the service we received. From the moment we opened the door we got greeted by Phoebe with her smile and super hospitality. Straight away she acknowledged our friends 40th birthday and took us to our seat in the special Dalek booth. She gave us all information needed for our time there from cocktail choice advice, sauce advice, the best gin flavours and even where the bathrooms were, saving us trying to look for them. Service was fast and with a huge smile, being able to have a giggle with the waitress too. Our friends steak was ever so slightly undercooked and within minutes she has a brand new perfectly cooked steak with no issues, questions or feelings of awkwardness. The food was amazing, all having a starter which were just stunning. We all had Fillet steak. Cooked to the most perfection we have ever had. One of the party chose a pudding and said it was the best he had ever had. The night before we had gone to the TGI's just a very short walk away and had the worse night so this was just amazing

I had there the tastiest, best steak ever in my life. Charcoal taste in food was amazing as well. Definitely I coming back

Excellent quality of meat, friendly staff, recommended

Had Sunday lunch here, what a fantastic meal, we’ve been before but didn’t realise they did a Sunday roast, all really well cooked and the Yorkshire puddings are outstanding, good selection of drinks too and not overly priced considering the location etc, couldn’t resist the Crème Brûlée cheesecake for dessert, service was great with a smile as always . Cheers guys

Superb, the steak was amazing, up there with the best steak I have ever had. The food was cooked perfectly, the staff were friendly and the place had a nice friendly atmosphere to it

Amazing place with cool vibes, decoration and nice staff. Definitely one of Bristol top spots.

Food was excellent. Was slightly apprehensive with the limited veggie options but it was very tasty. Service was very good only let down slightly by some confusing bill splitting for a large party - the server, who was excellent all night, had to take multiple payments from guests for mains/starters and desserts by which point people had already started to leave which was a little inconvenient. Otherwise an excellent night out and whole party were complimentary of all aspects. Would definitely return - and that's coming from the vegetarian in the group!

Friendly staff and excellent food. What more can you ask for!

Good food but not cheap. We had it as a present. Service good and very attentive. Steaks cooked very well, they clearly no what they are doing. No need to dress up.
