Mmmmm Steak. 26th June 2008

I was eager to check out the Bowler Bar and Grill after reading the reviews below - it seemed like it would be right up my alley. I was somewhat surprised once we got there though - I think I was expecting more of a burger and steak house with sort of pub food rather than a fine restaurant with a penchant for carnivorous feasting.

The starter list was dominated by seafood dishes (I had the Salt Chili Squid) while the main menu had a broad selection of steaks available in different sizes, I soon realised this was pretty much Mecca for any steak lover. In addition to the steak choices there were some more seafood and other modern european meals - however these never really came into serious consideration.

Since the folks were paying I went halves in a ChateauBriand with the old man, plus a few vegetable accompaniments, no regrets there.

There was also the option for a competitively priced 2 and 3 course set menu.

Despite feeling absolutely stuffed, I couldn't resist the chocolate pudding, we were warned that it would take about 20min (which it did), while a bit rich for my taste it was still very nice.

All the wait staff were very friendly, helpful, professional and well, easy on the eye also.

The bill came to about £150 for the three of us, including a delicious rioja. I'm definately looking forward to a return visit.

I concur with terrorgraham: this is excellent. It was amazingly empty on a Saturday night - the only reason we can think is that it is off the beaten path and they are waiting for word of mouth to bring them trade.

Only reason i joined this site was to rave about this new place in Chelsea. It does the best steaks in London, some really cool cocktails and it doesn't break the bank either. I stop in after work at least three times a week, (live in fulham and just jump off at S. Ken.) The staff are all friendly, the atmosphere is great (on Friday night the best!)
