The best meat we've had. The chips are gorgeous too. Don't bother with the starters though - except the shrimp tempura. Finish off with the cinnamon doughnuts. I will be going there again - have to try the crabs!!

I had an amazing experience at beast. I took my girlfriend there for her 19th birthday and they made it very special for her. The food was very good and the best lobster I have had; the staff were polite and accommodating, the atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. We do not usually dine in such an establishment because of the high price for our lifestyle but it was a treat well worth the money we spent.

Beast was amazing! Our wine & sommelier were very knowledgable when choosing the wine & what we wanted. To eat we had the wagyu starter, burrata & gyoza. All were delicious. For main we had the delicious truffle chips, the king crab claw & legs that were super fresh & buttery. The ribeye was incredible from the ex dairy cow & chateaubriand really tender. We also had grilled hipsi cabbage & amazing cauliflower carpaccio too. The creme brûlée was lovely but the showstopper dessert was the mini doughnuts. The only thing was the service was a bit slow, once you had ordered they disappeared for a while. Otherwise I would highly recommend and definitely go back.

Delicious and fresh food and a great welcome with cocktails. Perhaps a few more options could be available for the crab but otherwise a feast experience

Really cool restaurant with a big selection of meat to choose from. If you're in to the surf and turf theme this is a good choice.

Amazing seafood in a very cool environment. It was expensive coming in at a higher cost than my last Michelin tasting menu, but we did indulge in a good wine, King Crab, Lobster, Dessert and the recommended matching Dessert wine.

Quality food and service, and a nice selection of drinks/cocktails. Different, but lovely set up with long banqueting tables. Only drawback would be the price, extremely expensive.

It's an experience but not one I will be repeating. A place for bankers and the elite with prices to match. There's also a lack of finesse. For example the cheeseboard was a mess dumped on the table with little explanation of what the cheeses were. When you are paying this kind of money you would expect consistent service through the courses.

The best steak and crab, and service. A slick and reassuringly expensive operation. Go for the Finnish meat for something different. Mix and match with the crab legs for a feast.

First things first. Beast is very expensive.No doubt about it. It's expensive. That said, the crab and steak are absolutely delicious. Cabbage and chip side orders also very good. I would recommend skipping starters and having the king crab as your first course and steak with sides as second. We had the Galician and it's one of the best steaks I've ever had.

The seating is church style benches, which leaves you sitting almost on top of the person next to you. I didn't like this as there was a lack of privacy and several times the people from 2 parties beside involved themselves in our conversation. Other than that, the food, drink and staff were amazing. We had crab legs to start which I would go back for alone. I then had a bone in ribeye (800g) which was truly sensational accompanied by a selection of sides that we shared. Summary - good for casual friends night out, not so good for taking a business customer where you would expect a little more space. I think it was also expensive and maybe even overpriced. Scoring it so high though as the food was great.

My favourite restaurant. It is specialised on meat and lobsters. They also have a big range of wines from all over the world and good cocktails. However is expensive for visiting it more often than once a month

It's good food but at a very steep price. Understandable for the crab or meat, but not as much for the mash and other bits. Something nice for a special occasion but would never become a regular dining option.

My girlfriend and I dined here on a Saturday evening and both very much enjoyed it. However, for a meal that will easily set you back north of £100/p, service not up to the standard that we expected. Furthermore, be aware that you will sit on one of three long table in the restaurant. In general that doesn't bother me but I do feel that they squeeze too many chairs on these tables in order to be able to accommodate more people. Naturally i understand the economic drivers behind this however, even though the restaurant was far from full, we were still arm-wrestling with our neighbours and actively trying not to eavesdrop on their conversations. All in all, we will come back because the food was fantastic and there aren't so many places in London that I know of that sell a great King Crab. But, don't expect a fine dining experience regardless of the fine dining price point.

Original interior and interesting menu. Everything sold by weight (unsurprisingly including the bone). Both steaks were fatty and the crab lacked flavour. Sides not especially inspiring. Venue 8/10 service 10/10 food 5/10

Over all ok. But overrated. Especially the meat. Definitely do not go for lunch. It's underground. Am sure more fun in the evenings. Perhaps more for the ambiance than the food. They should add bread as an option rather than decide for themselves that it's not needed

The food was excellent, the crab was very fresh and tasty. The meats were prepared excellent and to the style we had ordered. The starters were sufficient to bridge the gap between ordering and main meal and are tasty! The ambience is communal but unless the restaurant is fully booked, you will always have space on the long tables which makes it quite nice. Wine list is exception, long but also ranging from affordable to celebration-worth prices. Well done!

Not a bad place to celebrate a birthday. Galician chateaubrian is the best. Mid afternoon was perfect as the place was almost empty so noise level was manageable and I could have a normal conversation with my date without having to scream on top of my head

The crab was huge and it tasted really fresh and yummy. However the food gets cold quite fast (maybe because the plate wasn't heated). I was also charged £16 for a glass of champagne that I didn't order/drink (of course I corrected their mistake). The service overall was quite good though. But considering the price, it's unlikely that I'd return to this restaurant.

The food and atmosphere was very nice. However, I found it overpriced and understaffed. Although the most of the staff was very friendly, they would rarely come when we needed something as they were rushing to other tables.
