The Edinburgh Voucher Royals went out for a date night, this time to Blackwood's Bar & Grill.  They boast about having a (out of 2 in Edinburgh) Josper Grill. \nThis is like cooking an charcoal barbecue, indoors. \n\nWe were previously unaware that this place existed and after finding a dining voucher online for a steak main , sauce and sides. \n\nOn arrival they were very pleasant an courteous. Took our coats and bags. \nWe were asked to choose which table we wanted. The place is small (20 covers max). The wall were covered in dark brown textured wallpaper. The lighting was minimal, but well placed. It oozes class and sophistication. \n\nWe were duly introduced to the menu, the specials and  the missing  / replacement dishes. The wine list was small but well sourced. I also liked the fact that they had 9 wines by the glass (3 red, 3 white, 2 rose, 1 prosecco) \nThe bread was served with oil & vinegar dip and 3 kinds of butter, one of which was a very tasty hazelnut butter. \n\nafter ordering we got served an amuse bouche of josper grilled fillet steak & celeriac foam. That. Was. Delicious.\n\nWe decided to share a starter. We selected the Lobster Tarragon Ravioli with Thermidor sauce. Very tasty and outstanding, though possibly a little thick on the edges.  It went well with their prosecco. \n\nFor main we had the same: Rib-Eye steak Medium-Rare, with Green Pepper & 12yo Scotch sauce, Skinny Fries and a side of Bone Marrow.\nwe asked for mayonnaise, however they didn't have that so they suggested to use a Bearnaise sauce for our fries - interesting yet tasty alternative.\nMy steak was cooked slightly rarer than I would have liked, but it was good. \nYes 'good' - not 'wow', 'outstanding' or 'fantastic'. Good. Definitely in my top 3 for a good steak. Missing was the charcoal flavour (like we had on the amuse bouche fillet) it was possibly too subtle, same issue with the sauce, again I like my flavours a little bolder and this was again slightly too delicate. I am sure the chefs are very accomplished, as you could tell by the way all was presented and prepared. \n\nWe had some espressos afterwards. \n\nIt took a while for our bill to be presented and in turn trying to pay - they did apologise for that.. \n\nIn all this was a very successful date-night!
