Steak Frites by The Butchers Club was a resturant my friends and I had been looking forward to try for quite a while. We were pleasantly suprised when we managed to get ourselves a table during resturant week. On arrival we were greeted and shown to our seats and a waitress handed us the Dining Week set menu, a choice of Salad or Pork Belly for starters and then Steak and Fries or Fish for mains.

On arrival we were greeted and shown to our seats and a waitress handed us the Dining Week set menu, a choice of Salad or Pork Belly for starters and then Steak and Fries or Fish for mains. As Butchers Club is known for their beef we all went for Steak mains.
The starters were mediocre, with my pork belly being a little tough and skin being chewy and soft rather than crispy.
The steak, a dry aged, 8oz ribeye was even more disappointing. Cooked to medium rare, when it hit the table it was cold, as if it had been cooked and then put to one side for the 40 minutes whilst we ate our starters. A layer of chimichurri covered the steak, but instead of adding an additional layer of flavours, it was used to mask the taste of cold beef.
Deserts were left half eaten and we all left unsatisfied and thirsty... yes thirsty as our none of the waiters that served us felt a need to refill our glasses of water. Maybe that's what happens when you order tap water and not "Still or Sparkling water" at Butchers Club.
We were seriously dissapointed with Butchers Club. With the quality of food and service being this bad during resturant week, we won't be going back during again!
