"Ordering a steak off of a blackboard is a real mood. The mood being “I am a carnivore with a penchant for the countryside”. Smokehouse, a British spot in Islington, not only has an excellent blackboard menu and top fresh cuts of quality meat, they also have the perfect setting to enjoy it in. Think roaring fires, a bar with plenty of rich red wines, and that countryside pub look that will warm your cold little London heart. The meat offerings change regularly, but if the smoked featherblade is on, make sure it’s also on your table. " - rianne shlebak, heidi lauth beasley, jake missing
