WHAT'S THE DRAW: Modern American STK gives the London steakhouse model a contemporary makeover – from the text-speak name and unabashedly loud music to the abundant purple neon.

WHAT TO DRINK: A huge selection of largely New World wines to suit any discerning steak-lover's palate.

WHAT TO EAT: Swordfish sashimi (£10.50) is excellent, and no prizes for guessing the star of the show: the steak is as good as any in the capital. Sides-wise, parmesan truffle chips (£6) are crispy and fluffy, and mac 'n' cheese (£6) is an oozing, comforting aside.
