Had a delicious meal and great cocktails last night at the bar of The Butcher Grill. The striploins were cooked to perfection and are accompanied by sautéed spinach and grilled onions, the latter of which were perfectly paired with each tender bite of steak. We also ordered the yummy mashed potatoes and the grilled broccoli. If you haven’t done so already, try The Butcher Grill in Ranelagh. One tip, the awning is plain black with no name emblazoned so look carefully for the non-descript name on the lower left corner of the window (it’s quite small).
