Probably one of the best examples in the last few years of 'style' over substance; people paying well over the odds for food just because some poser rolls salt off his elbow.

Not a chance I would be paying £1000 for steak on a Monday lunchtime and anyone that thinks it’s acceptable is crazy….

“Salt in my socks” & “probably the most molested bit I’ve food I’ve ever been handed at a restaurant” lol 😂

If you’re a proper foodie who appreciates talented chefs and real fine dining, you’ll go to one of the multitude of Michelin star restos in London where you can easily feed 3 people with a couple bottles of wine/champagne for £500-£600… if you wanna be papped on a Friday night to enhance your Love Island application then you’ll go here… this place will be another Nobu… average food for extortionate prices but you’re guaranteed to get your photo taken outside 😅 Those sides you got served up wouldn’t have looked out of place in Nando’s!

There’s nothing I’d hate more than all the staff pissing about cutting the food and serving it to me like that. Bring me the food and leave me alone..

Unreal rip-off. Thanks for posting and dropping that coin - it looked all very standard - especially the sides. Bullet dodged for the rest of us.

"I've got salt in my socks" 🤣 what a lovely down to earth couple! 💝

One of my favourite FRC review's, not because I enjoy a good steak, but because of the honesty it shows. Keep up the good work FRC team 👊👍

The place is more about bragging rights, a pretentious tariff for what is a decent bit of meat and mediocre vegetables. While we all like the restaurant staff to be attentive I would not appreciate all that drama and messing with my food. If i had the choice of a free meal anywhere that place wouldn’t be on my list after this showing. That said, a great review and insight into the place.

I spent a few days in Istanbul last year, ate at Nusr-et twice. It's the same food, just much more affordable, especially at the current exchange rate. You could fly to Istanbul on Pegasus Airlines from Stansted, get a 5* hotel for the night, eat that exact same meal and still have a few hundred pound in change to splurge at the designer village next to the airport, the grand bazaar or the dozens of excellent baklava stores. For those of you who aren't millionaires and spending a large chunk of your salary just for the "experience", you'd probably get more memories out of a weekend in Istanbul. Fair enough, it's not going to be the "big man" feeding you, just some clone. But that's offset by the fact you can eat at the original Nusr-et restaurant. Plus the big man will soon be out of London when the weather gets cold anyway!

I'm a chef at a casino that serves affordable, tasty well presented food, if I served a dessert that looked like that I'd expect everyone of the chefs and front of house to say "are you taking the fucking piss" . Either Im missing something, or it's a load of bollocks.

Thanks for your review. That looks amazing but I'm happy just to take my whole big family out for dinner on the side of the road enjoying affordable street food. As long as i could see smile on their faces I'm happy & grateful for that 🙏

My local cafe, which is Turkish owned, will do steak egg and chips for 8 quid - with 2 teas, I’ll pay 11 quid.

That drama with the baklava was pathetic 😂

If someone tried to feed me they're getting a smack. Awful place. Great review.

No steak is worth that price. He must be making an absolute fortune

That's as close as I'll ever get to the place 😂

The other guy banging your cake around then violently cutting it up was amusing

I blame our dumb society for giving Salt Bae a pedestal!

I went here once, saw the extortionate prices and went a few miles down the road and bought a cow from a farmer. Best barbecue I've ever had.

Not exactly a Tom Cruise in Cocktail performance was it. The guy at the end made a right dogs dinner for no apparent reason

Love ya Jess and Matt...great review... appreciate your thoughts...great work ❤️

2nd review I've watched and I'm loving the honesty and detail.

That is insanity - you could get 3 tasting menus plus wine at a 3* restaurant with actually interesting food for 2/3 of the price

£980 😂😂… and they throw it about like that! Wow

This is such a good review . I have been reviewing restaurants on google for years and ranked up almost 14 million views. Watching this detailed relaxed review gave me some what a inspiration to start my own channel. Thank you

Appreciate the review and a solid review at that. Thanks 👌 👍

Great, honest review. Really enjoyed this 👍🏻

Salt Bae is a knob head chancer, ripping everyone off

Love the review and principle of trying somewhere yourself and adding some context. For a once in a lifetime maybe to tick off the list if you can’t get to Istanbul to go to the cheaper one haha

Good review that chief, got your opinion across really well, without getting bamboozled by having the main man there. Top work!!

After seeing NUSR-ET on Billions, I always 'thought' I'd want to try it, but that's way out of my realm of justification for a meal. But what a great review!! Thanks for bringing it to us.

So glad you have done this review. The country needs to know exactly what this place is all about. Keep up the good work, you are all legends 💪

Love the little toothpick flags in the sweetcorn, exactly like Nando's!

Brilliant content as always! Keep it coming

Thanks for stopping me visiting this place, I had a lovely long weekend away in Cornwall dining at some beautiful seafood restaurants instead.

The food looked banging but I wouldn’t be happy with the waiters messing around with all the theatrics. “F%#k off and let me eat my food” 🤣😂

I went to an Italian restaurant a few years back and the boss stood leaning on the next table and watched us eat the whole lot just so he could ask how it was. First and only time I been there 🤣

Awesome honest review! My favourite video of yours so far 👍

This is great Matt love the honesty salt filled socks lol definitely another element visiting while the man himself is there

Fair play Matt for keeping it real and not just following the hype

I think the confusion you might be feeling is if you've actually been robbed or not hahaha. Great review. The guy has managed to get into the whole show off social media society and played it perfectly good luck to him and he must be paying a fortune to run a restaurant in knightsbridge so I'm sure that will have a knock on affect on prices but lunch for 3 for just under a bag of sand is sickening

"I've got salt in my socks" hilarious mate haha

Great review. Thanks for this.

Me watching this in my pj's eating spaghetti hoops, turkey dinosaurs and hash browns "Looks alright"

Why do I feel like he was tryna show off his apple watch

Nice review. Never watched this channel before but it's good.

salt bae must travel every day of the year (maybe even multiple times a day) 'cause i swear he's a different branch of his restaurant every day.

Excellent review! To be honest, I thought the owner knowing you have spent a fortune in his restaurant would have been more talkative rather than pulling a few faces and throwing salt all over the place. Looking at the review I’d prefer to have spent the money at 2 different 5 star restaurants. Love every review you guys do ❤️

It’s about the pride, prestige and extravagance. (Also, ripping off fools who are willing to pay for a £37,000 bill) 🤣

Intriguing mate, its the way forward for this channel imo. If it can be sustained financially of course!

Great review, your a natural comedian. Considering the bill you paid, you werent rude or arrogant to the staff, and you can tell they enjoyed serving your team. Agree with other comments, where the experience outweighs the food, and as a food reviewer, you can say you have reviewed the trend and viral character of "salt bae". Got a new subscriber, keep up the good work💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿

Very good review Matt, I agree with you, myself and my daughter have been to better places in London for less money, but absolutely great that you have given such an honest opinion.

I am intrigued by the manager's assault on the dessert. Maybe he was having an off day?

Food does look amazing but prices me out big time, great vid👍

Bro your review was wicked 😎💯

"Theatre" seems a bit much for what is essentially a bloke in a white shirt doing a stupid snarl/sneer at his customers and another guy flipping a piece of baklava over, making a silly noise and cutting it up poorly. It's not exactly Benihana. The epitome of the emperor's new clothes. Hat's off for an honest review and if people want to go, fair enough, but it's really just a place for people with more money than sense to go for bragging rights.

I agree with what you say, a great meal is who you are with and what the food is like. The problem with going to this place is you know it is going to cost a fortune and that would be at the fore front of my mind all the time and make the experience less enjoyable. Definitely better places to go for an amazing steak without have to spend nearly £1000. Great review Matt 👍

Thanks for posting bro. "Got salt in my socks" 😂

Love the honesty at the end mate

Good and honest review. I would prefer if they just brought the food and left it on the table instead of messing about with it, the waiting staff seemed to get quite close, although this is all part of the 'theatre'. Salt Bae seems really creepy though.

Excellent review ... Well that's cured restaurant envy ! I saw nothing new or exceptional on the plate .. In fact, I would have felt completely patronized by the over the top antics going on around your table ! I felt your comments after being "fed" steak summer it all up up really .. Great review thank you

Great review, dude. Bloody expensive 😫 love watching ur podcast ❤

Really enjoyed this honest review

The review everyone has been waiting for and it didn’t disappoint. Honesty is the best policy support local…. Just saying!

Can't stand people overlooking me and interfering when I'm trying to enjoy a meal. Steak was rare, not medium to rare as stated by the waiter and you could get as much of that cut plus many other cuts of steak for £28 at my local rodizio. Fair play for trying it though.

Mate, great review.. Of sheesh.. I've never been and I live in Woodford. I'm booking a table for 2 next week! Enjoyed your video.

Like Matt said the guy himself isn’t forcing anyone to go and eat there but people still go there and the place is always busy. He’s an entrepreneur and that’s how he’s made his millions. He’s made a brand. I wouldn’t go there personally but each to their own!

Wagyu ribeye for £60? Fact check. That most likely was not true Japanese wagyu. But everyone likes what they like. Good video. Cheers! 🍻🍻

This guy will put the salt gritter lorry’s out of business soon with that dashing articulate finger sprinkle 🤭😂

Honest review. Loved it.

Love your honesty

This place is the definition of pretension. The price they feel they have to charge makes it rub shoulders with London’s most decorated restaurants and on that showing it’s not fit to clean their boots. Matt, at the end of that review you honestly looked like someone who had just been the victim of a scam. If they expect to be able to get away with charging a bag of sand for that, this roadshow will hopefully disappear as quickly as it arrived. Good honest review.

This was class, I'm just waiting for my remortgage to be processed before I try it out 🤣

Great honest feedback. Yet to try it out cheers mate

Very happy this popped up on my feed. Subscribed!

Me and my husband went to the one in Miami back in July for our 21st wedding anniversary. We got the burger and fries each and I think it was 70 something but the food was good and the restaurant was really nice. They also gave us complementary vanilla bean ice cream.

If I wanted another man feeding me meat from a fork I’d spend time in prison.

What a great review. I love it. Salt in my socks lol

Tender AF, Tasty AF...pricey AF. Thanks for making and posting. Cheers and yes, it's about who you're with. Great line.

Says something about me that I wouldn’t go here even if it was free. What a faff! That boy messing about with dessert, them hanging about table etc do one!! Complete nonsense of a place although great review by yourself mate. Very honest

Matt - How did you keep a straight face through all of that?? It was so hilarious and over the top!!

Great, honest review! 👍🏼

First time ever on your channel! You actually look a really nice humble person!

Fair play with the review, I thought Matt was going to big it up. Just be honest, good lad.

*A man who says he's a former employee of Salt Bae's London restaurant has called it "McDonald's for rich people" for serving frozen fries, according to a Mail Online article published on Thursday*

Great review! Very fair perspective.

I’ve got salt in my socks 🤣🤣🤣 classic!

Everytime I see Salt BAE I can smell his aftershave coming off the screen.

You could buy a whole cow for those prices, nothing more than daylight robbery!

fuck man your reviews are really good. bit taken back by how honest they are.

Great review, i think you sold me Sheesh more than this place, now personally i recently ate from "Steak on the green" in ealing. Absolute banger. shame "the meat co." have closed there branch in london but that was another favourite

The way they do all the faffing about with them knives, tapping them on the plate and on the food for no reason just does my head in. Absolute cringe and unbearable to watch.

Good on you for going and trying it out for yourself and spending £982, I hope they accept NUS Student cards 😉

Very surprised at how honest you were here. Good on you 👏🏻

Great post. Subscribed back again. Top man. Great review. 👍🏆🏆👍

Saltbae's business is uniquely distributed across social media and high end locales. But if the glaze of showmanship wears off, the steakhouse will want to show even rarer qualities of stamina and staying power.

Anyone getting outraged at the prices then you're clearly not their target audience. This place is for people who don't even look at the prices. They've probably thought it's better to have one table spending 2 grand on a meal than 10 tables spending 200 quid. They can give each and every customer their full attention. It makes no difference what so ever if its value for money, most people spend money they don't need to every day, some people just do it on a bigger scale. The fact is it shuts down if they don't get the customers in.

you probably made your grand back by doing this review so well done lol

Hey Mate 👋, loved the video. Just subscribed. Are you wearing Ray Ban Justins at the end and what’s the frame width on them ?
