What did your experience entail?
Arriving at London Steakhouse Co. was a joy in itself, this classic building has a flower arch around the entry way with stairs leading down to a lovely dining room complete with linen table cloths and candles.
We were sat at our table and handed the prix fixe menu. Our waiter advised that we would order our selected cocktail, and then be served the first two courses. I opted for a glass of champagne with a small surcharge to make the most of the experience! The first two courses are served alongside each other and are served in an amuse bouche style, smaller plates to sample the delicate flavour profiles created by the talented chef brigade. The first was a smoked salmon blini served with creme fraiche and capers as well as a beetroot and goats cheese salad with chopped walnuts, these two dishes were delicious. The flavours matched so well and they were presented beautifully with delicate plating.
We then ordered our next two courses, I opted for the mackerel pate and can safely say it was the best dish of the evening, I think I will be returning for this dish alone! The main was boeuf bourguignon, slow braised beef in a beautifully rich sauce served with, dare I say, the worlds creamiest mashed potatoes. To finish the meal, I ordered the lemon posset, a beautifully creamy and light citrus dessert that really topped off the experience. I do not think I could have eaten more if I had tried!
What did you enjoy the most?
Whilst I have clearly pointed out the quality of the food, I would also like to point out the service was top notch! We were made to feel welcome and comfortable. Nothing was too much trouble. The waiting team are genuine and friendly yet entirely professional – we had a few menu questions being that my friend is pregnant and had to confirm certain dietary restrictions.
Top Tip
1. Make sure not to eat too much before hand – there is plenty of food!
2. Be sure to enjoy a drink at the bar prior to your reservation, the cocktails were great!
