Worth its salt and worth the cost. Do not miss an opportunity to visit The Quality Chop House.
Visited here as a couple for a birthday. Made a reservation several weeks in advance to make sure we could get in. We arrived to a birthday card at the table, signed by all the staff, which was so sweet!
The ambience was cozy and elevated, but not pretentious. We felt very comfortable.
Wine list and cocktails were broad and well-crafted. I had an Aussie skin contact that was divine.
Now, we ran the gamut on the menu.
Asparagus starter: served with stracciatella, wild garlic, and macadamia nuts. The kind of vegetable presentation that makes you think, I could survive eating only this asparagus for the rest of my life.
Pasta starter: a big knot of pappardelle, stuffed with ricotta, swimming in brodo bone broth, with peas floating in the mix. The bone broth was insane.
For the mains, two of us opted to split the 400g sirloin. The "to share" options on the menu were both 800g of beef, which would have been far too much for two of us. Choosing the 400g option also allowed us more room for starters and snacks.
The sirloin was divine by itself, cooked perfectly. No notes on this.
We also got two sauces - the bernaise, and the smoked bone marrow chimichurri.
The biggest surprise of the meal for me was the chimichurri. It was a religious experience for me. I was astounded at how good it was. This sauce alone sealed the deal for me that I must return to The Quality Chop House again some day.
Now, for the sides:
The green beans were perfect, served cold with mint and sunflower seeds.
The confit potatoes are the "viral" side - but I thought they were just fine. To me, all the other items we ordered actually overshadowed the potatoes, but I did enjoy dipping them into the bernaise.
Lastly, we were lucky enough to sample their house-made fudge. What a treat! So flavorful and creamy.
We spent over £90 per person - two glasses of wine, one cocktail, two starters, one main, two sides. We felt it was worth the cost. It was a special meal that we will remember, and we hope to return.
Long story short - if you get the chance, go here.
