The Grill at McQueen

my friend had the groupon voucher for the 3-course menu with wein. we sat on a 4 sits and I was on the bank that is just too low. they need two kisses to reach the table. the meal was in order to be honest, and the waiter was not the kindest.

the lamb was beautiful and tender and I loved every bite. the restaurant looks great with the dark wood and the bar area is definitely somewhere I want to check in the future. the only mistake was that I felt the service very slowly. but recommend this place for datum nights and after work drinks.

mcqueen is a good place for drinks and nibbles from old Street/Shoreditch. I have twice on goods once for a three cure meal and the other time for cocktails and a sharing plate. both eating and cocktails are good. both of them was a little slow and a little rude. it may be because I visited a voucher, but I don't think this should be an excuse.

Ordinarily, a glitzy bar-cum-restaurant-cum-nightclub like McQueen in Shoreditch isn't the kind of place you'd find me having dinner. Aimed squarely at the kind of high-spending, hard-living City geezers n' gals who like their spirits premium, house happy and ropes velvet, it's somewhere I've always given a wide berth, even though I used to work just round the corner.

Shoreditch Chic. I had my first meal at McQueen a couple of nights ago and I have to say that I was very surprised but the quality of the food service. I normally don't rate Restaurants attached to Clubs and/or Bar but this is really an exception. The menu is based on American Grill and the steaks really are awesome. After dinner we continued the evening in the Lounge Bar which serves top notch cocktails... I highly recommend McQueen.

we had the croquetas and it had a lot of taste. the taste of the fresh tomato and crumbled with small spots of different sauces filled each other. we decided to lame and cadjau. the lamb was divine! it was full of taste and it was really soft and well cooked. the fish has a finer taste, which was beautiful, but I prefer the lamb. for dessert we had ice creams and the chocolate cake that was dessert of the day. both dessert was beautiful and we even mixed them with each other what made it better. the fresh of the ice and the sorbet balanced the sweet of the chocolate cake. overall I enjoyed it here very much. I will come to the final...read more

McQueen, named for Steve McQueen has the lot – a restaurant, a bar and a downstairs club. Its design is supposed to emulate American cool, in homage to the coolest of cool cats, Steve McQueen himself. I think they do achieve the look they’re going for, the space is pleasing to be in, and the odd quirky, slightly gothic touch such as the candelabra or bizarre human tree sculpture gives the place a bit of personality. I do wonder if the clientele it attracts are quite what they had in mind – there were a lot of City types in there; young guys doing Sambucas on a Wednesday night and then patting themselves on the back after each one. (Well done guys, you can take a...read more

Hazel Nevard heads down to the well established McQueens, to see if their new chef can serve up food as good as they serve up their drinks. When I heard Chef Nigel Smith had joined McQueen, it was a great opportunity for me to find out just why Where Now rate this Shoreditch Club as a top hotspot and see if Nigel’s food hits the spot. Cool and clubby yet homely with lots of squishy leather chairs and a big screen playing Steve McQueen movies, this restaurant doesn’t try and emulate any other. The place has a confident edge and so do the staff, who just seem to ‘get it’ where service is concerned. The ambiance is American/British and the menu is loaded with American classics a...read more

Last week I was invited to test the Designer Dining Menu at McQueens. When I got the invite I immediately jumped on the opportunity mainly because I walk past this place almost twice a day, on my way to and fro work and I have never been inside. The place is dark and musky and always made me think; what fun for a stag-do! Or after work drinks for the city crowd streaming North from Moorgate. I am not sure my friends are really their target audience, but I invited a girlfriend of mine to come along, cause I imagined we would at the very least get some great eye-candy among the brown leather chairs and oversized black bar. Well my friend and I arrive and even though we are the only...read more
