London Steakhouse Co. (City of London)

• The fresh bread they served me while I was waiting for my steak was the best thing I had there
• The reputation that MPW has associated with him made me go there
• They were stingy with the sauce they gave me on the side
• It was pretty empty when I went and even the others around were just having drinks and/or coffee
• The setting is the epitome of cool
• The restaurant is the kind of place I hope the mafia come to play poker
• Moody mysterious lighting with cartoons and mirrors decorating the walls
• Our waiter was very friendly and helpful
• My Mother went for the Potted Duck with Green Peppercorns
• The rocket and parmesan was the perfect accompaniment
• Both my parents also agreed that their starters were to a very high standard
• The potted duck was described as succulent
• Whilst the prawn cocktail came with a very generous helping of prawns
• The smokey flavour hits you whilst the meat is still on the fork
• The crispy poached egg was also exceptional
• The gammon was a bit on the salty side
• Overall it was very enjoyable
• My father's Braised Boeuf Bourguignon with creamed potatoes also looked and tasted delicious
• By the end of both courses we were all satisfyingly full
• Everything was cooked really well
• The amount of veg was unbelievable we just could not finish it but that was no reflection of quality just the sheer quantity
• Staff was attentive but not intrusive which is always good
• The restaurant itself is surprisingly well sized and
• Is well lit with plenty of natural light
• Which this restaurant is well known
• Beautifully seasoned and cooked exactly to order my medium rare was spot on the steaks are genuinely some of the best around
• The triple cooked fries are also a must try
• Then MPW's is a good a place as any to try them out
• The service is very good and waiters are very attentive as expected
• The atmosphere is cozy and you will be served by highly attentive staff
• The options for wine are quite of the kind that the steakhouse lovers will appreciate
• Wine rather than extending to the fix menu with cocktails and other stuff
• Might as well accommodate more of a crowd if all parties are into the steak option
• Fantastic place with top noch service a bit pricey but worth it
• 8oz house cut with house fries and peppercorn sauce was really nice
• Tuna sicilienne with savoy cabagge was nice but not wow hence 4.5 rating
• Woke up yesterday with a yearning for a big juicy cut
• My partner and I were seated swiftly and were quick to choose our wine
• The waiter agreed was perfect for the steaks we had ordered
• Maybe because I was expecting a warm dish
• None the less i was famished and gulped it right in
• The main I had a medium rare 10oz rib eye and I felt the cut wasnt grilled with much care and wasnt left to wait before it was served
• Was reminded about how it sort of is the perfect venue for a damp and drizzly
• Were seated to the other side of us so all three tables were sat in an odd
• Given that we were all looking out onto a mostly empty dining
• This made me feel a little like our lunch was a very dull spectacle for
• I chose the Potted Duck with Green Peppercorns
• While my boyfriend went with French Onion Soup
• Malbec so I was surprised when for once my boyfriend decided he'd rather have a
• Had these when I went previously they were ever so slightly too salty
• Impressed that there were two fish choices on a set menu at a steak restaurant
• Photo but it really was a very generous size and apparently very nice
• I can't remember what it was this time but I
• From it was that the Sticky Toffee Pudding was fantastic so I recommended it to
• The whole place is sort of odd
• Although when I'd been with work it was full of City suits
• We ended up here with thanks to the kind people at Zomato and the voucher they provided
• On arrival I was impressed by the cosy living room feel to the room
• Ours coats were promptly taken and we were shown to our table
• I will sum up the waiter service in one paragraph and is relevant for the whole of our dining experience
• Chocolate Brownie with Hazelnut Ice Cream
• Braised Boeuf Bourguignon This dish was enjoyed by my guest
• I was assured it was of the highest quality
• Accompanies by at light mash potato this also was described as excellent
• This again proved a wise choice as the flavours given off by the butter and garlic were nothing short of amazing
• The steak itself I am pretty sure was the best quality steak I have ever had
• I am bit of an old fashioned boy so for me it was always going to be &lsquo
• Served piping hot (a big plus for me) they were tasty and enjoyed every single one of them
• Chocolate Brownie with Hazelnut Ice Cream &ndash
• This again was also very well received and looked amazing and was told it was too
• I am a big fan of Rioja and this was a lovely drop too
• Prawn cocktail salad was a trick a 3 4 large prawns and the rest were tiny prawns
• I was impressed with the proportion of Salad
• From roasts we had Duck which went really well with the diced sausages but not great with white beans
• From fish board we had haddock with poached egg which was excellent
• The steak here is beyond amazing
• The service was nice and friendly even though they were rushed off their feet
• The staff were so nice that I feel compelled to glaze over the smoke and mirrors that is this restaurant
• I think it is fighting for some identity which at present is a crisis which I will get to shortly
• I decided to have the kipper pate which was lovely and had a smokey flavour
• I ordered the fillet and hubby got the Boston chop which was a mean 24oz and was far more tastier than my fillet
• Nothing special but the onion rings were particularly good
• You may wonder why I'm not really going into detail with my opinions with the food
• 32 not including sides and I ask myself was it that spectacular
• The tables were trestle tables with a reddish leather look table covering and PAPER napkins
• I never knew the Black Eyed Peas had just finished a meal at this restaurant when they were inspired to write Where is the Love
• London Steakhouse Co. (City of London) fell out of love with the idea of serving lovely food in a great location
• No one felt to nod at me to show that my presence had been acknowledged and I was left waiting there for a good five minutes until the maitre d' returned to his post
• Then there was an issue with the booking time
• Goats cheese with walnut dressing (£
• The crunchy walnut praline (sort of) was a lovely contrast to the smooth cheese
• 39.50 menu and chose the gravadlax with mustard sauce to start
• Cooked to perfection so it was tender and beautifully pink throughout while nicely coloured on the outside
• My partner was less happy with her 10oz rump served medium that was tough and overcooked
• Her peppercorn sauce was also uninspiring
• Our sides of triple cooked chips and green salad with herbs (£
• Our service was better once seated than it had been when we first walked in and we were thankful to be seated in a far
• Though they were probably in good spirits on their Christmas work parties)
• Something desperately needs to be done as they are a horrible interruption to a meal
• S promise of a better world too as the place is immaculate
• Cutlery and glassware polished to a tee and the service was impeccable
• The steaks are the focus of the menu (natch) but my usual choice of rib eye had unfortunately run out
• So I ended up with my back up of fillet
• T have anything to complain about as the seasoning was not too little
• I ordered my fillet with the Café
• De Paris sauce which was a nice take on this classic
• OK the steaks are a little on the pricy side but you get what you pay for and remember this is the 1980&rsquo
• 4 a go the sides however are good value and all work well with your meaty main
• Roasted seasonal vegetables were complimented by a lovely sweet honey glaze
• The onion rings were well executed too even if they really were just
• All of this was washed down with a rather good bottle of Syrah and finished with a simple but very well formed cheese plate
• Pampered and a little ostentatious I was ready to leave
• S Square Mile is the Marco Pierre White Steak and Alehouse
• Happy in the knowledge that it wouldn't be jam packed by suits with delusions of don like grandeur (and the manners to match
• Starters were a kipper pate with whisky and melba toast and a &lsquo
• The pate sadly didn't have the strong flavour I was expecting from the kipper nor the whisky
• Like many other restaurants I could have done with more toast
• The gravadlax was good quality
• Presentation was fine but in London right now
• Easily cut into with great flavour
• There was nothing wrong with the new potatoes
• The onion rings were of a good size
• Dessert I had the sticky toffee pudding with vanilla ice cream
• Light and sweet with the nut adding a great texture
• Our waiter was slow and our courses took a while to reach the table
• I expect some city folk enjoy the rather laissez faire approach but this scoffer is there to scoff
• So a standard cosmopolitan was had instead
• I know the brand is meant to be tradition over trend but surely a degree of flexibility is encouraged
• Dated art deco mixed with switched off flat screen televisions on the wall
• Marco Pierre White does not cook here and I'm a little confused as to why he has his name associated with this restaurant
• The steak was very good everything else was just average
• I tried the goat Carpaccio with smoked trout roe (which was almost like a frisee salad)
• The roasted cauliflower with pine nuts and mint (had an outdoor grilled flavor and the mint just gave it an almost lightly grassy taste)
• The duck tongue with tuna and black bean poke (also similar to a salad crispy tongues
• The service was great and the staffs were knowledgeable
• One thing you should know is that if you try to get reservations online
• You might have to wait a long time to get in since this is a very popular restaurant
• I called the restaurant directly and was able to procure a table for the date we desired
• Came here last night and was so impressed with the service and quality of the food
• So this should have been one of the best steaks ever
• They did subtly re fill our wine very frequently so it was mostly finished by the time the steak arrived
• The setting was comfortably spaced
• The lighting was low and romantic
• Admittedly I didn't think confit of duck was what it was
• Prawn cocktail is the traditional starter that I've never seen the point of but Himself chose it purely for the nostalgic element
• So I was content with the sirloin
• I would have expected it to be the best steak I've ever had
• Himself went for the rump with peppercorn sauce
• The restaurant is situated in the City
• The exterior is relatively uninviting (this is probably why I hadn't gone there before)
• The inside is relatively cosy
• The restaurant was established in 2008
• So it's hard to figure out why the walls are covered in '90s political cartoons
• Away from the hustle and bustle (the place was full to the rafters) but right underneath one of the speakers spewing out Michael Buble and the like on a loop
• My wife compared the atmosphere with a bad New Year's Eve dinner
• We decided to skip the starters and order the mains straight away I went for the 10 oz fillet steak with house fries
• They were very stingy with the bé
• The texture was not the best I've had (my wife had a bite and she said Gaucho's is better)
• The best part of my meal were the fries nice and crispy
• The word slick comes to mind with this operation
• The audience on a Saturday lunch was an eclectic bunch
• No question that it was rammed to the rafters
• The emphasis is on the quality of the beef here
• My pal who loves the combination of beetroot and goat's cheese was delighted that it was on the menu and then instead of a steak I thought I'd give the pork belly a go
• A beef bourgignon was the other main ordered
• Oily sauce on the beets with caramelised walnuts and the goat's cheese just didn't do it for her
• I also found the beets too thin they had been sliced on a mandolin and were rather mean portion wise
• The shiny sauce with a wonderful depth of flavour was utterly sublime the best I've ever tasted
• I ordered a bottle of the Tomero and have to say was very disappointed at how harsh it was
• The portions were tiny and frankly I found the cheese dull and uninspiring
• I liked the little cubes of quince and the celery was beautifully crisp but I can't get over the choice and size of the offering
• Fairly good steak house near Liverpool Street but is pricey for the quality of steak
• 49 for a 2 course meal for 2 people with a cocktail
• The interior of the restaurant was not particularly eye opening either
• Not much to rave about if you are paying full price
• The prawn cocktail was an excellent appetiser
• The giant onion rings were a major highlight
• Probably one of the best rings I've had in my life
• I think was called the summer pudding was presented amazingly well
• With only two steakhouses attached with the name Marco Pierre White worldwide
• I think my favourite thing about MPW is the white table clothes
• Here we are with white table clothes and wine glasses all laid out
• The responses are likely to be Hawksmoor
• As my husband is disabled and it takes a lot of effort for him to get ready and get around I was feeling terrible
• The restaurant staff were absolutely fantastic and let us sit down while they sorted out changing the date in the system to accommodate us
• We had a voucher from are daughters for our wedding anniversary as they know how much we like this restaurant
• When we were shown the menu we were offered a upgrade to Champagne for free on the normal choice of 3 cocktails as we are repeat customers &
• The Champagne was lovely while we decided what to have
• We followed our sweet with a cappuccino each before paying the bill of £
• Service charge which even adding the cost of the voucher I think is very reasonable for a lovely meal out
• The service was brilliant as it has been on all previous occasions
• T feel that we were treated any differently because we had a voucher and in fact I didn&rsquo
• T see anyone in the restaurant at the time we were there not having the set menu
• entre and deserts were exceptional
• The service was arrogant and rude
• I asked for guidance about sauce for the steak having read the cafe de Paris butter was a special recipe
• The response was a telling off that "
• All the sauces are good otherwise they wouldn't be on the menu
• The operations manager was similarly arrogant with a Gibe in response to my question about the children's menu asking
• He obviously thought I would think it funny but I felt he was just mocking me
• I'm an Italian Australian and he is Italian so he thought I might enjoy the comradeship but I ended up confused
• Given these were the extent of the words shared that evening (no kind or genial words at all)
• We had a booking but it was cancelled by them on the night
• Many restaurants over the years and this was the most frustrating and disappointing experience by a distance
• T mention amendments but my guess is it will do after this
• The worst steak i have ever eaten for the price they are asking people to pay it is a disgrace
• My steak was full of fat and gristle it was like chewing on rubber bands
• Dont know how it got the name London Steakhouse because i'm sure that was not steak they served me
