Glossy black tiling, glowing chandeliers and gleaming cutlery - the luxe interior of Dollar Grills & Martinis is primped and polished like a well-manicured Manhattanite: no underdressed tables or straggly stray chairs here.

This pedigree extends to the menu, which features a list of grain-fed USDA-certified steaks, from a 9oz rump to an 18oz chateaubriand (for two).

We plumped for the Wagyu beefburger, a more affordable way to enjoy this prime breed, and it didn't disappoint.

It was served in a rich brioche bun, with jack cheese and sweet-cure bacon topping off the medium-rare patty perfectly.

We were less excited about the burgers named after Las Vegas casinos, the peanut satay, relish and avocado topping of the MGM Grand being a rather ill-advised combination.

Taking a gamble on the baby back ribs paid in full - the almost too-generous portion was meltingly tender. Cocktails are part of the appeal here, the downstairs bar featuring a dedicated team of mixologists at the weekend, shaking up rhubarb negronis and fig sours.

Knowledgeable American staff make the service every bit as smooth as the atmosphere, and the £6 weekday lunch menu (burger, steak, spaghetti and meatballs, among other options) is a real deal compared to the evening prices.

Our burgers were not cooked properly (some not according to the order, others cold!) When asked how our food was we gave honest feedback - which wasn't well received. The waiter had a terrible attitude and made the experience (that was already pretty dire) ten times worse.
