That's the cliche bit over though.
I'll tell you all straight, it was a damn good steak but the peppercorn sauce was lame as fuck (needed more peppercorns and some brandy, after the 2 cold ones were replaced!) and the pint of ale I ordered at the bar came as a 2/3.
I was too busy talking to the doorman I happen to know rather than pull it at the time but the missus saw me clock the short pint out of the corner of my eye as it was served and just cringed.
Because the peppercorn sauce came cold (didn't realise till it was poured on the steak) and I didn't accept a comp drink at the time of replacement the owner wiped my meal completely from the bill (including 2 beers) while I was at the toilet and the missus was paying.
So my professional and personal evaluation of RARE is that yes they have good steak and excellent customer service (although it is overpriced) but if they can afford to and are prepared to drop around £100 in turnover (2 meals, 1 wrong and 1 complimentary) to pander to my potentially pretentious whim then they've got no business serving 2/3 pints.
CUNTS!!!!!
