The Monkey And Grill - London

Sent to gas monkeys through the Fork Festival. never again! when we were running in, we were allowed to sit on a small table at the door, although there was a series of other tables free. that was fixed later. very strange service, had to write out their own order and let me pay each time when I have a drink etc. otherwise they wanted my bank card behind the cash! the eating is substandard, the nachos were strange tasting and cold, they had gurke and cut twill with petersilie on the top! I had a glass malbec that I had a second, but it tasted like a wee who had no time to ripen. the only thing that was good was the steak and chips.

The starters were ‘meh’ but the burgers and ribeye steak were????????????

Food was absolutely delicious and service was excellent

The food wasn’t great, steak was oily and fatty. Egg pan was a little dirty in the handle. Oreo cheesecake was forgettable and ice cream was over iced.

I mean it was fairly strange service. Is this a restaurant or a pub? Got the bill before any food arrived ? Bit of a strange experience
