A third Steak of the Art restaurant has opened in Southampton where diners can enjoy quality steaks while sitting in an artistically inspired environment.
Perfect for those looking for pure foodie pleasure, the restaurant, which is located at Admirals Quay, Ocean Village, combines an electric artistic atmosphere with some of the best steaks served anywhere across the south coast.
From the moment they step inside customers are rewarded with a real wow factor. The restaurant itself is a living gallery with pictures and paintings on display (and for sale) from local artists including the Southampton Arts Society which is currently displaying 30 pieces of art.
Split over two floors, 130 covers will be indoors while the remaining 40 will be outside. The venue also includes a quirky crow’s nest where up to six customers can sit and enjoy their meal while overlooking the rest of the venue. There is also a Titanic themed mural on one wall made up of over 40 panels.
The private dining area has a distinct nautical theme and is great for meetings, private events or family gatherings.
The third venue to be opened by classically trained chef and entrepreneur Steve Bowen, the vision is to have reasonably-priced and simple but delicious food served in a place that is exciting to dine in. The two other venues are in Bristol and Cardiff.
Steve said: “We’re hugely excited to be open and to bring our vision of dining to Southampton. Steak of the Art is a place where people appreciate good food in an unpretentious way.
“The art on display in a gallery means people can visit without going into the restaurant. It is also all for sale and we’re planning to have some exciting exhibitions, displays and events.”
Manger of the venue is Will Chadwick while the kitchen team is to be led by Southampton-raised Dina Spencer who was inspired by the provenance of the food and the chance to be part of a fresh and exciting new concept.
Will added: “This is a totally new concept and one I really believe will capture the imagination of the people of Southampton.
“Not only will customers be able to enjoy some top quality food but they will also be able to take in some excellent art. For those people who just want to visit the art gallery, enjoy a quiet drink, coffee or light bite will be more than welcome.”
Suppliers include produce from Warson’s Farm in Devon, Warren’s butchers in Launceston and Fish for Thought in Cornwall.
