   Booking was easy online, lift to get upstairs was great. We had a booth for 3 people which was great. Bloomin onion was delicious - sauce a bit spicy. All 3 steaks were superbly cooked to our liking & can recommend the mushroom sauce! Shared apple crumble which was delicious with yummy caramelisation & a big scoop of vanilla icecream. Service was very good - attentive and speedy. Would happily visit again!

   Always happy with the food, but service is always lacking. I’ve been lots of times and it always feels understaffed.

   I usually enjoy the food here however I ordered the razorback ribs for the first time. There was minimal meat and they were dry so definitely disappointed. Our order was muddled up and our mains were brought out before our entrees. Then our mains 2 out of 4 meals were incorrect. There is definitely a problem between ordering and the kitchen . I ordered a white wine and it was served warm. When I told the bar they didn’t offer me a replacement they offered me ice. So overall it was a really disappointing experience at a restaurant that i usually really enjoy.

   Hi Tina Thank you for your honest feedback. We’re really sorry to hear about your recent experience. It’s disappointing to hear the razorback ribs didn’t meet your expectations, and we apologize for the mix-up with your order and the service. That’s definitely not the level of service we strive for. We’ll be sure to review the communication between the kitchen and the front-of-house team to ensure this doesn’t happen again. Also, we’ll make sure to address the issue with the wine service to ensure it’s served at the proper temperature moving forward. We truly appreciate your continued support and hope you’ll give us another chance to provide the experience you’ve come to expect. Best regards, Cheremie

   Wanted to try the $10 cocktail of the month was told we only have margaritas. So no cocktail of the month. Overall food wasn’t bad. It’s a shame it’s not more like the American chains with deals and the rye bread. Very expensive for what it is. Slow service and needed a manager to do a cash transaction. Won’t be going back in a hurry.

   For a venue situated at a major shopping precinct, fair to expect on a Saturday they would be geared for walk ups post 5pm. Far from it. Have frequented this particular venue several times over the Years. It’s not a patch on its historical self. Was told we can seat on the balcony but must vacate within 1 hour. Agreed as we are there to eat. 15 minutes and not one wait staff engaged. Decided to ‘book’ online while on premises. Shown to another table, nothing much changed, 10 minutes in we seemed forced to use the QR order app. Spirits seemed like plain mixers. IE watered down. Ribs were dry and pitiful. Salad - not words. Deserts were pretty good. Departed 1 1/2 hours after and pretty another to see our original balcony table that we were told ‘ 1 hour’ was still free. If you’re looking for a disappointing meal that’s cost twice what it’s worth these days. This is the place. We won’t be back until there is news they bought it back to its former glory.

   There was one other table of guests when we were seated by the manager. No water given once seated (this came 40 mins later after the meals) I had to go and ask for someone to come and take the orders after 15mins waiting. Ordered entrees and mains which all arrived at the same time after 30 mins, steaks were meant to be medium rare, one was so well done you couldn't cut it, the other was well done but managed to have a few pieces. Would never go back, very average for a STEAKHOUSE!
