Great food, wine and service. However, refectory style seating is a little disappointing. But we will be back as the wife liked the look of our waiter!!!

Excellent steaks -- some of the best in London. Great concept as London's first surf and turf joint. Only downside is that this is NOT value for money.

Excellent! Expensive but worth it. Great ambiance, food was superb, wine complemented it excellently. Steak and crab were an excellent combo for two people and the sauces are first rate! People should expect to spend a lot of money but it will be worth it.

this is a very unusual restaurant - was not really prepared as someone else had suggested that my distinguished guests would like the food - so had not done my research well - was so surprised with the concept, the beauty, the industrial look - it made a very pleasant evening, with great service and we were the last to leave - thoroughly enjoyed it

Great food, quite complicated to understand all the different steaks and what you will actually receive. Also you have no idea how much you are spending! Lovely atmosphere and very good staff.

Fantastic in every way, expensive for good reason! Seared Tuna starter amazingly fresh, king crab legs succulent and sweet, Finnish steak full of flavour when cooked to medium, absolutely delicious combined with the smoked tomato salad. You should experience it at least once!

The setting of Beast is one that has become increasingly popular recently. Simple menus with decadent choices based around meat and in this case shellfish too. The decor is inviting, the atmosphere is somewhat lacking though due to the style of tables. The menu is misleading, although advertised is the cost of the meat or shellfish per 100g, you can't choose your cuts, as the smallest they will allow you to order is 500g minimum, very disappointing and misleading. Too add to this, a lot of cuts and grams were sold out, on a Friday night! In their quest to be at your every whim, the staff are overbearing, constantly hovering. My friend and I felt there was a third person in our conversation as the waitress was never further than 4 feet away wanting to pour more wine after every sip. It made us feel quite uncomfortable. The food, was exquisite, somewhat overpriced yet astounding flavour and quality. It's a shame that somewhere with so much potential is let down by the aforementioned issues.

Best steak in London! Service is excellent as well. We asked for advice on the amount of crab and steak required and it was perfect! Get a selection of the starters because they're all so good!

Beast was an experience but was certainly overpriced and a bit ridiculous. The steak was good but easily out done by a hawkesmore/goodmans and the crab was very small for the money. Interesting concept and the placed was packed so there are obviously enough people that are happy to pay £60 for two crabs legs!

This place is really unbelievable. The food, consisting mainly of crab and various meats was so well cooked and full of flavor that it honestly competes if not betters most dedicated steak houses that have well established names. In addition to this are certain sourced steaks that are not ordinarily found at most steak houses. And it is not only the mains, but sides, starters and deserts that were equally as good including a wine list that is very long including Coravin tastings The staff, while relaxed, were unbelievably helpful and friendly going well beyond what was expected from them. The only reason this does not get 6/6 was the price, but to me honest paying those prices and actually getting the quality that was served made it palatable. Would definitely recommend and go again

The quality of the food doesn't matter when the service is bad. And the food was not good enough to compensate for the lack of service. The stressful staff negatively affekted the whole experience. Very disappointed.

First time eating here. Great place, very cool. pricey though! The menu isn't very clear in this regards and you can easily order things which might give some serious bill shock at the end of the night. If you can handle that, it's all good!
