The restaurant is set underground in the old vaults of a building on Bath's Pultney Bridge. You enter on the bridge and work your way down several flights of winding stairs to the restaurant several stories below.

We thought we would never get there!
Despite being underground the restaurant is light and airy. We sat at a table with a window out onto the street and ordered some drinks.
They stock Bath Ales, Somerset's Award Winning beer brewed in the area.
Every detail is immaculately finished
The restaurant has a bit of a cow theme going on.
Dad was cheeky enough to ask me when I had posed for my portrait. Not amused...
The menu looked scrumptious. They had a wide range of starters on offer but as it was lunch and we were looking for something lighter we went straight to the main course.

Their chips are twice cooked and deliciously light, fluffy and crispy.
All their meat is sourced locally.
The steaks arrived perfectly cooked and tender.
To accompany them we went for a selection of salads and seasonal vegetables.
If you aren't feeling steak then they have several other options available, including a gnocchi, walnut and pesto dish and a grilled sea bass with sweet and sour vegetables.
As I am still on a restricted diet following my surgery I went for the char-grilled free range chicken breast which was moist and perfectly seasoned.
I may have cheated and had a couple of chips. Just to try them...
The restaurant wasn't very busy as steak isn't a usual choice for lunch but apparently in the evening it can get full so booking is advisable, especially on the weekend.
