    You say it's theatrical so make sure you make it so. When the tomahawk was flamed it lasted about 20 seconds and was done on the other side of the room from us- invite us over to the kitchen / hibachi area so we at least have time to watch it, enjoy it, and film it. You should live up to your claims on your socials and all the bragging you do. Make it a big deal when we are right there with you on the night and show us the cooking excitement. Give us something to say "WOW". As it was last night, it just turned up at the table. Show us the love!!!!!

    We dined in Friday to celebrate my wife’s birthday. While the environment was lovely and the staff were friendly, the overall experience was a bit disappointing. As my wife is currently pregnant, I requested that the tomahawk steak be cooked medium well. Unfortunately, the steak came out quite rare, which was concerning for us. We chose this restaurant based on the great reviews and videos we’d seen on Instagram, but this issue dampened our experience. The staff, while friendly, were not as attentive as we would have hoped. We hope that this feedback can help improve future experiences for other guests.

    Absolutely amazing hidden gem in Brisbane. Of course everyone has to try the 1kg flaming Tomahawk. But there's plenty more delicious dishes.

    This was our first time here, it's a short brisk walk from Turbot St parking which is $8 from 4pm any day. Upon arrival the environment was great, dark but fair light. The concerierge was friendly and gathered us to our table promptly. We were assigned a waiter who was fantastic. The food did take a little while to come out, and it didn't appear a full restaurant, but the quality of the food was amazing. The waiter continued to check in on us a good amount, not overbearing as some waiters tend to be. Overall we were happy with our visit. When we went to pay, our waiter had us check our docket which is good practice but it was a little shocking to see that in our option for, "still water", came at a cost of $9.50. But that was the only nuance and certainly not enough of one to not return. Thanks to the Team for the warm welcome and great service/food.

    We had such a lovely anniversary dinner with our family. There was something for everyone on the menu, the presentation was excellent and there was the feeling of magic with the meals. The staff were attentive and friendly. We will definitely go back.
