Dollar Grills & Martinis

Hardly a model of restraint, Dollar Grills & Martinis still has to shout pretty loud to make its voice heard amid the clamour of Exmouth Market eateries. Luckily, brash neon signs, ornate candlesticks & spangling surfaces all chime with the spirit of ‘Las Vegas-style’ excess, & the menu is also built on a Stateside scale. Take a punt on Nebraskan USDA steaks or 8oz ‘million dollar’ burgers with all manner of accessories – the ‘MGM Grand’ version involves sweet-cured bacon, peanut satay, Dollar relish, avocado & buffalo mozzarella; alternatively follow the piscine route with seared scallops & cauliflower purée, grilled lobster or prawn tempura. Once you’re done, head downstairs to the brash, vaulted lounge, where American wines get in on the act – although scores of decently priced cocktails are a more inviting bet.
