   Disappointing experience as a couple dining at Paternoster Chop House. The wine recommended to us by our sever was supposed to be similar to a variety we like but tasted nothing like it—sour and unpleasant. Steaks were below average: chewy, not cooked to the requested rareness, and not worth the high price (one was nearly £50). While the fries were decent, the bone marrow side was a letdown. The atmosphere was the worst part—nearby patrons were playing music on a loudspeaker, and the staff did nothing about it. To top it off, a 13.5% service charge was automatically added, bringing the bill to £130 for a very underwhelming meal.

   Previous location of restaurant was nicer. It was very noisy inside the restaurant. Service was good and food very good. 2 courses with shared wine was ~£75 per head including 13.5% service charge.

   Food was nice but expected better for the price £92 chateaubriand ordered medium rare came well done except for a totally uncooked sliver in the middle. At this price, I’d expect the chef to know how to cook big cuts.

    This is the place if you are looking for great steak in a casual and lively environment. We landed at Paternoster after a week filled with all the ethnic foods and found this perfect spot for more traditional food. The ribeye was on point. The separate sides lacked some selection on the veggie side, but the mash potatoes and fries were good. The comments from our table said it was the best meal of the week. I agree.
    

    Paternoster Chop HouseResponded on March 20, 2025

    Thank you so much for the kind words and for choosing us after your week of exploring different cuisines! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the ribeye and that it stood out as the highlight of your week. We also appreciate your feedback on the veggie sides—it's something we'll definitely take into consideration as we continue to improve. We're so glad we could provide the perfect spot for a more traditional meal. We hope to welcome you back next time you're in town!
