Maze Grill for Steaks

We had great seats - close to the open kitchen, so plenty of theatre

Lots of exciting flames

And generally very busy looking chefs. Gordon was there, but unfortunately we didn't get to chat!

Cocktails to start - very dry Tanquerey martini with a twist and a mojito

'Small Plates' to start - chorizo, tomato and new potatoes

Deep fried soft shelled crab

And then the meats to choose- clockwise from top, Casterbridge grain fed sirloin, Hereford grass fed rib eye, Wagyu '9th grade' gold style rib eye, Aberdeen Angus fillet, Creekstone USDA prime corn fed New York strip
All steaks come on their own chopping board, with steak knife and roasted garlic - the Hereford ribeye

Side orders were plentiful - we ordered fries, onion rings, potrobello mushrooms, salad and a spinach gratin

In the background a nice half bottle of St Emilion

As for sauces, we went for an exemplary bearnaise, a blue cheese sauce and a red wine bordelaise with bone marrow

Frankly the bearnaise was so good it was the only one I'd bother with again


Mine was the New York strip, which was cooked perfectly, with a great flavour, and a texture that combined tenderness and chewiness in exactly the right way

We didn't bother with a dessert, but with free cookies to finish we didn't feel too bad ab out that
