Cannot fault the service. The restaurant is well presented, modern and clean. The staff are attentive, engaging and there are plenty of them. Food was quick and plentiful and most of all tasty. We went the American BBQ group share which is the top end of menu pricing and it allowed us to sample a wide range of what Roast Republic offers. The big ticket items for me were the lamb chops and the tomahawk steak. The corn was a sensation. When they offer gloves for eating the wings take them for best enjoyment - especially for the spicy buffalo. Drinks were well priced and they have great mocktail range. You will not walk away hungry, in fact we were fit to burst.

We specifically went to this steakhouse because of a recommendation from our tour guide. We made a last minute online reservation and also called ahead. They graciously set aside one of their last kangaroo fillets. When we arrived the host immediately recognized us and seated us at our table. The meal was wonderful! For starter we had the bread and olives tray, along with a glass of wine. The kangaroo was cooked perfectly, tender and delicious. It was accompanied by our sides that we ordered of frites and roasted carrots. The kangaroo fillet was a 200 gram (7 ounce) cut and we shared our entree and had plenty to eat. Highly recommend this restaurant!
