Black & Blue Rochester Walk (1-2 Rochester Walk, London, London, SE1 9AF)

The venue and setting is excellent, staff were to be complimented on good service. What a shame it was so badly let down by the food.
My starter (grilled king prawns with a garlic butter) was fine, but for a restaurant where steak is supposedly the star of the show this was shockingly poor. I think if I'd have been blind tasting I'd have said “Aberdeen Steak House” on a bad night eating an animal that had clearly had a hard life.
The fillet was stringy, flavourless and rather sorry looking. The peppercorn sauce was truly inedible – it seemed to be a cross between toilet cleaner and white spirit. The chips were a strange Chernobyl like yellow which was somewhat offputting. Wine was decent (and took away the taste of the first mouth of peppercorn sauce.)
I am somewhat baffled as to how a restaurant specialising in steak can have taken it's eye off the boil so badly.
Would heartily NOT recommend going here.
