Heliot Steak House - A Great First Night in London! For our first night in London, we went to Heliot Steak House because it's located inside the Hippodrome Casino. I expected to pay top dollar for steak because of its location, so I was pleasantly surprised to discover their pre-theater menu at a very reasonable price. For €29, they offered a three-course meal with a glass of Prosecco--a great deal for delicious food! The service was exceptional. Our servers name was Asmita. We were celebrating two birthdays, and I had requested a table overlooking the casino, along with a candle on dessert afterward. I was pleasantly surprised by how well they accommodated our requests, especially since we arrived about 10 minutes late. Our table overlooked the casino, and we were impressed by how elegant and sophisticated everything looked despite the lively atmosphere below. With the Magic Mike show bringing in a huge number of female guests and plenty of bachelorette-party energy, things could get pretty rowdy! Yet Heliot itself remained calm and elegant despite all the chaos happening around it. For appetizers, I absolutely loved my octopus. The others in our group had the salad and meatballs and thought they were just okay. We all ordered steak, with different sides, and everyone agreed the steaks were excellent. Each was cooked exactly to the person's preference, which is always a big plus for a group. For dessert, there were three choices: red velvet cake, sorbet, and ice cream. The frozen desserts were especially fun--they came with three scoops beautifully presented on top of a block of ice. And, just as requested, they brought out desserts with a candle for each of the birthday celebrations. Overall, Heliot offered a nice, elegant atmosphere, a great setting, excellent service, and surprisingly reasonable prices considering the location. We would definitely recommend Heliot Steak House and would happily return!

Quite possibly the best afternoon tea we’ve ever experienced!! Just LOVED it!

Fantastic cocktails, very professional service, dim lighting to the exact extent
