    An excellent place for lunch. Their 2 course set is of crazy value and quality (had the tuna for appetizers and the porterhouse for mains). Had lunch with clients on a weekday and they were impressed. Outdoor seating was comfortable enough to have a good conversation (it helped that we had a sunny day). Strongly recommended. Will definitely be back.

    One of my favourite places to visit whenever I’m in Melbourne, whether it’s for the Australian Open, attending events, catching up with friends, travelling with family or simply enjoying a weekend getaway. I love its unique charm, delicious food and the variety of steak options, with the steaks grilled to perfection every time. The crunchy chips and tasty, well-presented salads are also a great addition to the meal. The staff are friendly and efficient, and the service is always smooth and quick, making the whole dining experience enjoyable from start to finish. Located in the heart of the lively Southbank precinct, it’s a great spot to enjoy a quality steak meal while taking in the atmosphere. Definitely one of my regular Melbourne favourites, and somewhere I’m always happy to return to!

    We ordered two Beef Wellingtons are both were barely edible. At $69 each I would expect the chef to have sourced meat that we could actually chew. More than half of our meal was left on the plate.
