Reviews Summary
The Rib Room is celebrated for its excellent steaks and elegant atmosphere, with many diners praising the quality of the meat and the attentive service. However, some guests have found certain dishes to be underwhelming for the price, and service can occasionally be slow during peak times.
"First time at this restaurant, staff were excellent polite, informative and service was brilliant.
We had the Sunday lunch which was superb,
the Souffle was so tasty and Big, I had the parsnip soup really good. The mains I had the chicken and better half had the Lamb.
#The lamb was pink and 2 big slices my Chicken was very moist and cooked perfectly. On both our plates was Roast and Mashed Potatoes, stem broccoli, sweet carrot and honey roasted parsnip, then served leeks in butter and cauliflower in cheese in seperate dishes.
Both the carrot and parsnip was so good that I had to mention them.
Could not manage the sweet but a big table next to us did and they looked awesome.
Staff spent time with us and Manager explained about Beaujolais and how they stopped the race to get the first one in UK.
Had a great time food was really good highly recommend"

"We had a great meal in here made even better by our wonderful server Lillian. She went above and beyond to make sure we were happy! Will come back again just to see her she is a credit to your company!"

"I took my partner and parents here for Mother's Day. The food and service was lovely. We will definitely visit again. The young girl who served us was really nice. Only downside was the Restaurant Manager thought it was appropriate to discipline the waitress in front of us which I found very unprofessional and inappropriate. She was doing such an amazing job.
Thank you again!"
