We’re not normally perplexed by David Sexton’s reviews, but we are by this one. First, it’s not really clear why the well-established chain is getting the ‘lead’ review. And why does it get only one star when, objectively speaking, he seems to find it rather good? He tells us not once but three times how good the steak is (including “so good it made most of what one eats as beef seem a paltry imitation”), and that “two could eat really well for under £50”.
