   Overall we had a nice time. We were happy with the food. Starters of calamari and wings were really nice. Asked for steaks medium rare and they came rare. Also they were so thin. When paying high prices I expect more substance, but had good flavour. The walls were dirty and needed cleaning. Toilets stank terribly and needed sorting. Drinks were completely flat when they arrived so clearly used the last of unchilled soda. Unfortunately the majority of people operating service were not very good. Multiple times we would get ignored even when no tasks were being done and took an age to take our order. When they did they were extremely stroppy. The same lady took our payment and was the exact same. It is a shame as the man and 1 women did try, but we ask for a diet coke twice and it took ages to come. Despite this, the food did come out quite quickly, which was appreciated. A plus was the welcome host who was extremely smiley. People kept walking out which didn't help, but myself and my partner still managed to have a good time despite the large mishaps.

   Celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary together at Mina Steakhouse. It was our first time and it was brilliant. The food was delicious, the service was superb and we thoroughly enjoyed our date. The little extras which is part of their service makes the meal that extra bit special and memorable. We both left very happy and will definitely return again. Thank you for celebrating with us at the end of our meal. The cheesecake was otherworldly!

   Nice place, good vibes and fun food. Sadly in our visit the steaks were so what dissapointing for a steakhouse and the price. Really nothing special. Also frustrating g to be asked to pay cash as internet not working! Not sure that was the case.

   The moment we got in the table is a bit dirty, even the cutlery. The drinks took a long time to arrive and when it arrived soda didn’t have ice, the mocktail that I ordered strawberry daiquiri was like a strawberry shaved ice lack of flavours the way you expected from a mocktail that has to have multiple flavours couldn’t drink anything because it’s mostly shaved ice. The starters took a long to arrive and the mains as well we had to wait 20-30mins for it. After we finished with our mains we wanted to order for a dessert but the staff told us that we only had 15mins left. It was a total disappointment if they will have a time limit they should have been faster to serve the food. We felt like they’re trying to ged rid of us fast. The only thing that they got right was the cook level of the steak but still the taste was mediocre. In the end we asked to took out the service charge for the first time ever because it was a very poor service overall. I had high expectation coming in because it was supposed to be one of the best restaurant in Cambridge but it was a total disappointment.

   Booked a valentines meal with my partner. Food was great and staff were friendly. Waited 30 minutes to order our food, which was quite long. Everything was going well. Just after finishing our mains the staff said that they had booked our table and asked us to move outside before even seeing a dessert menu. (We only arrived 1.5 hours before). Clearly they had overbooked the restaurant We had to sit outside in the freezing cold for the last 30 minutes of our valentines meal which was a very disappointing end to the meal. Other tables who arrived before us were not asked to move. Overall - good food but would not recommended and will not be going back.

   Turned up and there was workers working in the door way with there speaker playing music hanging of the front of restraunt. Very friendly and kind staff. Cute little sign on the table but. Very cramped up in there. The tables are way too close together. The service was very slow and we waited a long while for our food. The food wasn't great. The only thing that was okay was the halloumi. Concentrated way to much on it being fancy with the presentation and not the actual taste of the food. Plus they tell you if you want alcohol to go to shop across the road and bring it in. For the price I payed plus got conned out of a tenner it really wasn't worth it to be honest.

   Went on valentines , was impressed by anything really cramped tables squished up to another couple was very awkward Asked what we would like to eat took starter order then mains , it took 45/50 mins to come out and when it did it all came out together , all over the table either way one course was gonna be cold by the time you had eaten it , they put some dry ice thing on the table looks cool for photos , the food was mediocre I have cooked a better steak at home than we we had there service charge too which I don’t mind paying if there’s a good service but I can’t say there was , both of us said we wouldn’t go back

    Small restaurant with very inexperienced waiters(probably students),.....we had steak to share ,which cost £60.00,we ask medium to well-done,steak arrived medium rare,we ask to cook more,.... We got our steak in 10min,.....waiters walking around no one thinks that our wine glasses needs top up(you need to bring your own wine)we had our bottle,and finally....when waiter cleared table he spill sauce on my shirt and trousers,...no managers was around to sort situation really I should took of my shirt and trousers leave them to wash,and walk out with underpants,and put story on social media,...... verdict -avoid
