We enjoyed Blacklock Soho. It's novel as it's in a basement and it's all about great meat. Service was fantastic. Great friendly welcome and we found the explanation and help with ordering valuable and ended up with 4 empty plates. Between us we had lamb and steaks and a selection of sides. Excellent food. I was surprised that the broccoli and walnut dish was a cold salad type slaw but it was tasty.

Their grilling method yields some amazingly-grilled meats. The Lamb Chips are a MUST and probably the best I have ever tasted. Service was great as well. It’s a small place. The good: attentive, good service. The bad: it’s small and a bit cramped, but that adds to the charm. Definitely recommend. Like it’s a MUST.
