    We had a fantastic night at 28-50. The service was impeccable. We were booked for 7:45, and the music started promptly at 8:30 which gave us enough time to settle in and have a cocktail. We had a lovely host for the night named Raymond, who was friendly, took our coats and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great night. We had never been to 28-50, so didn’t know what to expect. Pros: great service, great music- the band played many sets with short breaks in between. I would ask to sit nearer the back of you want to chat the night away though, as it can get quite loud at the front. We managed to have group chats in the breaks, but this was part of the fun! The charcuterie and cheese starter and drinks (we had cocktails and wine) were fab. Cons: Aside from the steaks the options for mains courses were pretty limited, with not many to choose from. The amount of mains on the menu could be improved. Whilst I enjoyed my (cheeseburger) it was a safer option- please add more food on the menu! :)
