This modern American steak house is situated in the grand dining room or a former hotel – definitely not for anyone on a tight budget. However it is perfect for that special occasion and adds a positively magical experience to your stay in London. Alternatively, if you don’t want to enjoy the Danish long bone rib-eye cooked to perfection, go for a cocktail and soak up the atmosphere.
