Steak & Co. in Soi Lengkee (formerly China Garden)

[ertert]

It is a great menu. Expats could come regularly to try the different dishes. I think you are on a winner.

Well spotted @!! Glad someone's paying attention ... haha

 

My aim is to add a breakfast menu before high season & daily specials which are not menu items, there's no point in having a fantastic UK chef is we dont push out the boat ! In ideal scenario I will get a mailing list (email)  of regular customers and have "special nights" for say Prime Rib, Beef Wellington, Wagyu Beef etc...  Thats the long term plan

Good luck training the Thai staff!!! Must be the hardest part no? And a pain that never ends....

Well I do have 1 chef who trained in Australia but is Thai, 1 chef who's been with me 7-8 years (since Le Katai, Jolly, Lone Star) and the new UK Chef who is VERY experienced. The Thai / Australian chef will help out a lot with translating etc.

You know what you are doing. Pricing is going to be tricky as you have dropped a bomb in this bad boy?

[English rose]

Marinated with the Beef Carpaccio… not marninated 

 

What ever the spelling I'll be there for a hell of a feed.

Well done Ian.

[Skalliwag]

I think the spelling mistakes have been a hit.

I say leave in a certain amount of spelling mistakes on the menu and give people a discount for everyone they find.

What do I get a discount on?

Lol.Beer ofcourse.

These are the wines we have been recommended, any comments welcome.

 

I've found Chilean reds to be drinkable and affordable, prefer Cabernets from California to Chilean. A California wine or two might be a good addition depending on your expected clientele. 

 

The remodel looks to be a great success. Best wishes as you move forward.

Thanks for the advice, I will start with a reasonable selection of wine and increase the range if there is a strong demand which I think there will be!

Its certainly not been cheap but its not the kind of place you can afford to cut corners, I have set the right environment, the right quality of food & of course service.... If I get all of those right I will have a successful restaurant

Is the hotel reception still in the corner of the restaurant?

[steve0797]

Menu looks excellent,looking forward to visting

[DMustang]

Gyaaah.  I'm salivating already and I won't be arriving in country for 5 months...

I would like to introduce Gerry, our new Head Chef @ Steak & Co.

[China Garden]

He has just finished Henley where he was chef for the Albert Roux & Michel Roux Jr.

[China Garden]

As part of Gerry's arrival I will be amending the menu as he requested, we will drop most of the Tex-Mex dishes in favour of a more "European Steakhouse Menu", to be posted shortly. 

[The Viking]

Shame you're dropping the tex mex as you're old restaurant Lone star has gone downhill

Yes it was a hard decision after I spending 150,000 to hire a Mexican chef for training ..... But after listening to Gerry's vision for the food, something he can really stand behind I had no choice but let him "shine in the kitchen". 

 

Don't worry though, it wont be big empty white plates and fancy decoration, it will be "well prepared, properly balanced dishes" that will prove a good alternative to what's currently available locally. We will be on par with Beefeater price wise, but using Black Angus chilled beef. 

[socrates]

Cannot wait to compare the Fillet pepper steak which in my opinion is the best all round dish in Beefeater
