The Steak Exchange (2 Exchange Square, London, London, EC2A 2EH) Standing around waiting for 5 mins while staff talked to each other was not the best start. The optional £30 lobster with each steak tasted ok although only being provided with a fork for the claws proved interesting. Having to wave each time to get get served was extremely annoying. We were recommended Pave rump and opted for that along with a ribeye, both medium rare. The pave was not to my liking and tasted more like liver, I do like game but this was not pleasant. It was cooked perfectly well and seemed succulent. The ribeye was overcooked and nothing special, fatal for any steak restaurant. Salad was small and expensive and the fries whilst flavoursome lacked crunch. The saving grace was a lovely Bordeau, very cheap at £28. Unless I heard better I'd never go back, far too many to choose from these days. Should have guessed with a name that belongs in the 1980's.
