Amazing steak

To Maze Grill for stunning steaks. Started with being shown the steaks. We admired the Wagyu (bottom right), but at over £100 a teak we decided to give it a miss this time

And went for a fillet of Aberdeen Angus, which, like all the steaks, was served on a suitably chunky chopping board

Sides were ordered separately, and between us we chose some frites, a potato gratin, a gratin of spinach and gruyere, a tomato and onion salad and some field mushrooms

The sauces deserve particular mention. A bordelaise sauce was intense and meaty, and came with little crispy deep fried bits of bone marrow, while the bearnaise was superb

My steak was rare, but with a good crust

yum. sounds like my ideal restaurant, though coincidentally had an amazing fillet myself yesterday (from Lovaton farm). Not quite wagyu, but exceedingly tasty and deliciously rare.

Tanya, you'd like it a lot, although the only thing that I would have improved was the portion sizes. We were fine because we had so many side dishes, but compared to a US steakhouse the portions were fairly small.

Jennifer, no room for puds, due to all the veg! Also it was a bit pricey, so we thought we'd save our cash for another time.

It was really superb. The steak was delicious. Sides also great. I was tempted by the Apple Cider Trifle for pudding - but we a little full so decided against it.

The semellier was a little too Morroccan market.
