Having writtenmy previous review and complained to the mangement, they got back in touch and apologised, informed us that they had been short of staff that night and offred us a free meal to compensate. Our second experience of dollar bore no comparison with the first, the service was great, our meals were cooked perfectly, and we almost felt guilty at not paying. I can only assume that our previous experience was a one off (it was a Bank Holiday Sunday, maybe the cook was away?) and I look forward to returning there in the future.

Went there last night with my girlfriend and to be quite honest, it seems that cooking anything more than a burger is a bit too tricky for them.



Our mussels came with at least half of them still fully closed. We told the head waiter who said that was fine and we could just prise them open. To prove a point we tried this and the shells broke, which kind of proves that they were either serving dead or uncooked mussels and then ignoring customers who pointed this out.



Serving stuff like this is a serious health risk. Following this our monkfish was tough and chewy (overcooked), the prawns with it were tiny and looked like they were reheated out of the freezer and my medium rare steak was a great piece of meat but was cooked right through and was practically well-done.



This food wasn't just 'not great', it was really poorly cooked. We didn't bother with dessert. It's not often you leave a restaurant feeling quite angry and ripped off, and we eat out a lot.

I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to $ Grills and Martinis, so much that I have in fact booked the downstairs bar for my birthday party next month. The managers and rest of the staff were extremely nice and professional. The prices are just right for this area and the food and drinks prepared to perfection. Can't wait to celebrate my birthday in style!

Dollar Grills and Martinis itself is lovely and the atmosphere is great. The staff are well qualified and friendly. The food is great and good value for money. Not mentioning the extremely tasty cocktails. It is a great place for a night out with friends. I really enjoyed Dollar Grills and Martinis.

I loved Dollar Grills and Martinis. After my first lunch there I was totally in love with the atmosphere and food. I knew right then that I had to check cocktails in the afternoon and evening. As I supposed, it was delicious.


I will definitely go back there, and I suggest all readers to try Dollar Grills and Martinis - you won`t regret it!

I went to Dollar Grills and Martinis with three of my friends and had a really amazing night. We got a lovely table with a view of the whole place, also the kitchen, which was great. It was a really busy Friday night and the vibe was just incredible.


The staff were attentive and funny and our cocktails simply delicious – be sure not to miss Porn Star Martini! We couldn’t complain about our food either. Most of us went for burgers, but my friend had monkfish which was also great.


All in all, Dollar Grills and Martiniis is a really good place for a night out and don’t forget to dress up a bit, especially if you want to hit the cool downstairs bar for a couple more cocktails later on!

The service at $ Grills & Martinis was poor and the drinks were overpriced! I would never visit $ Grills & Martinis again.

$ Grills and Martinis definitely lives up to its reputation! The fabulous cocktails, sexy atmosphere, and friendly service make 'The Dollar Bar' a necessary destination for martini-lovers. The prices were sensible for what you get. The cocktails are made from fresh fruit and top-shelf brands. I suggest a few starters upstairs at the $ Grills and Martinis restaurant as well. The food was beautiful! I was very impressed!
