Nick gives an interesting overview of the huge growth over the year’s in steak houses, including how they afford the restaurateur the possibility of selling lots of sides, and de-skilling the kitchen. Overall at this new Caprice Group property, however, its “culinary distinction is that it is not just the steaks that shine” – everything else is “pretty good” too.

3/5 stars
“The Bill makes your heart race” at “dapper, non-dom billionaire mogul” Richard Caring's latest gaff, where “prices and shtick [are] designed to repel the great unwashed”. “Understatedly Art Deco” in style, it seeps a ripe miasma of money”, which leaves Marina struggling not to feel “like a chippy Bisto Kid with nose forever pressed against the window of outrageous privledge”. “Nominally a steak specialist” it “actually covers every base in a clever, comfort-and-luxury-food-laden menu. Everything she tries is “almost excellent”, but only “almost” and when it comes to the beef “give me Hawksmoor any day”.
