Knee-buckling deliciousness, my only regret was not going with a giant-sized stomach to be able to try everything on the menu. I will not be able to eat crab anywhere else. Each Sicilian red prawn was a melt-in-the-mouth joy. Amazing service (even got a tour of the kitchen) in a gorgeously relaxed ambience. Can't wait to go back.

We came here as a group of 4 after hearing very good reviews on the place.
We tried both of the specialties, the crab, and the steaks.
Having been to goodmans on several occasions (and being the same company that owns both) I knew
What to expect on the steak side, and I was not disappointed at all, both the chateaubriand and the filet were top notch.
But do not expect the variety you find on Goodmans on the cuts or the grass/corn fed.
But all this is irrelevant compared to the crab legs.
Simply divine
And something that unlike steaks you cannot find in London.
Go there and indulge.
Service and wine list are very very good, truffle chips as you come to expect are fantastic and the only gripe is a bit the table that is
Very wide and when the place is packed you have some trouble hearing your mates sitting across.
Also is quite expensive (easily over 100£ / person) but it is worth it.
I understand that people come here to eat the steak as well, but the gem is the crab.

Visited Beast yesterday for a birthday meal. The steak and crab were both delicious. The waiter, concierge and sommelier were all excellent and took time to explain the food and wines. My only small criticism is that it is a little overpriced, but it wouldn't put me off going back.

If you like steaks and lobster, this is the place;) You can only get steak and lobster/crab, but the quality is great. Though prices are a bit high, their drinks as well.
You sit at long tables, which create a cosy atmosphere in real modern restaurant. The tables are unfortunately a bit to wide, so can be difficult to have conversation across the table.
But go there for the great food, good service and really cool place/interior.

The atmosphere is nice. The seating is cafeteria style, so it's 3 giant tables with bench seating. Not the most intimate. Kind of annoying when you have people you don't know on both sides of you talking loud.
The lobster be crab are massive! Huge! The steak is average in taste, Mortons is much better.
The price is very expensive for the quality of food you get. Wine and liquor are expensive as well.
Staff is ok.
For London the food is good. In the states the food would be considered average at best.
