Here’s a polished and more structured version of your review while keeping your key points clear and fair: I was really looking forward to something special, but unfortunately, this experience fell short. My wife and I planned a special lunch for Valentine’s Day and ordered the recommended Valentine’s Day special, along with oysters and a $70 bottle of white wine. Right from the start, small details were overlooked. There were no individual plates or oyster forks, and the advertised side marinade was missing—just a bottle of Tabasco was provided. While we arrived slightly early, with only one other table occupied, we were seated promptly. Given the strong reviews I had read, I expected a flawless experience, but when the correct cutlery was missing and the bread arrived after the appetizers as an afterthought, I started to have doubts. The ongoing light rail construction meant noise and disruption were expected, but with no tablecloths, our plates and cutlery were directly on the bare table with any dust etc from the construction. To add to the atmosphere, construction work began upstairs, complete with power tools. While I sympathize with local businesses affected by the area’s challenges, these factors certainly impacted our experience. Despite all this, I still had high hopes for the highlight of my meal—the 500g steak. Unfortunately, while it was decent, it was only marginally better than what I can get at my local club, and to be honest, it wasn’t much larger than their 300g option. For a total bill of $314 for two people, I expected far more. Sorry, Glenelg, but this missed the mark. Given the distance we traveled for the experience, I can’t see myself returning. This version keeps your disappointment clear while maintaining a balanced and informative tone for potential diners. Let me know if you’d like any adjustments!

This place ticked all the boxes! The service and suggestions was excellent and more importantly, the food was exceptional. The T-bone steak was cooked to perfection and all accompanying sides was great. We'll definitely be going back soon!

5/5 stars I had the pleasure of dining at Glenelg Steak Restaurant, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! From the moment we walked in, the warm and inviting atmosphere set the tone for a fantastic evening. The service was top-notch - the staff were attentive, knowledgeable, and made excellent recommendations. But the real star of the show was the food. We ordered the T-bone cooked to perfection, and it literally melted in my mouth. The flavours were rich and bold, and the quality of the meat was exceptional. The sides and desserts were equally impressive. The paris mash creamy and decadent. And don't even get me started on the banana creme brulee and apple crumble- it was pure heaven! Overall, Glenelg exceeded my expectations in every way. If you're a steak lover like me, do yourself a favour and book a table ASAP. You won't regret it! Highly recommend for special occasions, date nights, or just a great meal out with friends and family.
