“Absolutely to die for! Service was exceptional, with attentive, efficient and friendly service staff. The Steak was amazing (We had the Signature slow cooked, and the 500g on the bone) absolutely delightful. The steaks were like butter, so tender and full of flavour. The vegetables than came with mine had an astounding flavour and crunch, and the blue cheese mornay! I could eat that by itself! Highly recommend. Taylor (our initial wait staff) is also very knowledgeable, efficient and has an energy and vibe that screams green flag!”
