Grill Bar Steakhouse

 Many readers has been asking why there wasn't many recommendation on Western food in JB. Actually, We did have a few reports, but We are currently clearing our old reports..so, some of it are on the way. 
Grill Bar is one of the many restaurants that I'am keen to try. It's was said they serve one of the best steak in JB. Here is my verdict on their Lunch Set. 
Located in Taman Pelangi the signage is easily spotted.

Decor of the place is more American..but wouldn't consider it grand..lots of Ikea stuff

Almost full during lunch time.

Set lunch starts from RM 39.90 excl Svc Charges...quite Ex for JB standards.

Mushroom Soup

 Bite size mushrooms in every spoon 
Prime beef Tenderloin with Spaghetti... portion is quite small.

Total Damage...pretty EX for lunch notice the RM 3 for a glass of H2O???
Food: 4/5
Taste wise, nothing to complain to be honest. The mushroom soup is thick, and tasty, as for the spaghetti, a bit disappointed, as I was expecting a whole piece of steak instead of slices of beef. Taste of the spaghetti, is good, each piece of tenderloin is cook to perfection...and spaghetti cook to Al Dante but the portion really is quite small for the price.

Service: 3.5/5
Prompt services. The English speaking staff mainly  from philippines. 

Environment : 3.5/5
Decor is simple, not exactly posh. Relax dinning at most.

Value: 2/5
RM 47 is not exactly good value, especially when water is charged at RM3 a bottle. The portion doesn't justified the price tag.

Overall: 3.5/5
Grillbar is definitely one of the better western offering in JB, but with the price tag and food portion, one, can;t really say it is value for $$. One of those places that I would only come if there are discounts. 

Recommends: Steak and beef cuisine
