The Olive Branch

After a couple of drinks in Works (see review
) my friend and I fancied getting something decent for dinner and so opted for the brand new Rare Bar & Grill as we didn’t fancy a curry or Italian.
Inside it looked sleek and modern with lots of chunky wood everywhere and plenty of seating. When we arrived it wasn’t very busy, but that soon changed once we’d been in there half an hour and were tucking into our shared Meze Combo starter, which was tasty, though we had a bit too much pitta and not enough to slather on it…
And now for the main courses. My friend ordered the ribs which were massive and tasty (I tried a bit out of curiosity) though they had serious ‘food envy’ when my medium rare rump steak arrived. I opted for baby potatoes instead of chips and also a red wine sauce. The steak was melt-​in-​your-​mouth juicy deliciousness. I’ve written it in the title of my pic and I’ll write it again: it was the best steak I have ever eaten. The red wine sauce was a nice addition.
After all that we were too stuffed to try dessert, but I eyed New York Cheesecake on the menu — if I return that is getting demolished instead of, or probably in my case, as well as, the starter.
