• T massively excite me but I was feeling brave so thought I&rsquo
• S were delicious and came in sophisticated long glasses and the bread was wonderfully fresh and warm neither lasted long
• The menu at Grill on the Market is very substantial and it was difficult to decide what to have to start and my friend and I changed our minds quite a few times
• The prawns came in a cast iron dish with an ample amount of big
• Juicy prawns in their shell with some garlic oil still in the dish
• They had just the right amount of garlic and were wonderfully succulent and tasty and the crusty bread that came with them was great at soaking up the flavoursome oil

• Like the crusty bread with the prawns
• My first steak in years I thought it was best to start with what many deem the best
• My friend (a Vegetarian but who eats fish) ordered the Yellow Fin Tuna Loin seared pink with Soy and Ginger (£
• The steak came and it was the perfect size and didn&rsquo
• The steak was really tasty and went hand in hand with the peppercorn sauce and skin on chips and I almost finished the whole piece of meat so was quite proud of myself
• The vegetables were all delicious the beans were perfectly cooked
• The champ mash was melt in your mouth good
• While the peas were hugely moorish
• My friend said her tuna was perfect and she actually commented a few days later that she was still thinking about how good it was
• The cheese board came with a good helping of water biscuits and some Brie
• Blue Cheese and Smoky Cheddar with a Tomato Chutney
• It was a good size to share between two with another dessert or to have to yourself
• The Affrogato on the other hand was delicious and came with a scoop of Vanilla ice cream
• You tipped all three into one bowl and the coffee melted the ice cream with the Amaretto giving the dish a gorgeous sweetness
• We finished our meal with a Martini each
• The Grill on the Market is a really lovely place to go for a meal either with a friend or partner or big group of friends
• Which there were both of when we visited
• The service was excellent and I was definitely impressed with the food tonight
• I chose the Foie Gras with Spiced Rhubarb &
• Were matching Rib Eye Steaks (cooked rare) with peppercorn sauce &
• This was no ordinary rib eye these were from the Best of British menu and the meat was of the finest quality
• It was definitely one of the best steaks I'd ever had (not that I eat steak very often
• Te du Rhone with our dinner
• We agreed that it was one of the best that we'd tried
• The service was friendly and attentive
• London is filled with restaurants of all cuisines you can find everything from thai and indian through to ethiopian or moroccan but sometimes you just can't beat a bit of British

• Offering a mix of innovative dishes with comfortable favourites
• Cakes and treats or a delightful drop the perfect end is something sweet
• Finish off with an ingenious
• I must admit I was expecting much from its starter offering
• The mackerel was a lot better than I anticipated
• The saltiness was spot on as was the crispy skin
• Even the gem salad and pickled vegetables was finely presented

• The chicken satay styled skewers was so flavorful and perfectly cooked
• The sea bass was good as well but I saw my colleagues just enjoying their steak which looked being done just the way they wanted
