    Absolutely wonderful experience every time! The waitstaff are friendly, kind, approachable, and incredibly attentive. The food is sensational—flawless in every way. We especially love the small treats and entrées, with our favourites being the tuna tartare, tacos, kingfish, oysters, and grilled octopus. Having visited twice, we’ve been impressed by the consistency in flavours and exquisite presentation, which rival fine dining. We will definitely be back again!

    Our experience at Meatmaiden was one of perfection, the food and ambience were outstanding but rhe overall experience was topped off by our waiter Logan McBride, who was not only extremely knowledgeable about the menu and drinks list but looked after us in a friendly and efficient manner, he made us feel welcome and in no way could have performed his job better, well done Meatmaiden for employing staff who care

    If you’re feeling carnivorous, this is the place to whet your appetite..! I love the straightforward and simple menu. Honestly you really can’t go wrong with any dish here. Favourites are the succulent melt-in-the-mouth beef brisket and caramel short ribs. The strip loin steak is a close second followed by the sweet, tender pork belly. The sides are perfect - creamy mash, pickles and slaw complement the rich meat. Wait staff are super easy going, relaxed yet attentive. One of my all time favourite places.
