Just brilliant! Tasty steaks and Sunday roast served quickly and with sauces that truly add to the flavour rather than only add fat to the dish. Definitely the best mint sauce I have ever had. The service was amazing. I would recommend the All In Sunday roast with a Beefy Mary. I love it when a restaurant does what it should right (serve great food) without pretentiousness. The apple crumble and white chocolate cheesecake were excellent conclusions to a lovely roast. The atmosphere could be a bit less noisy, but to be fair, that is just my preference and some people might consider that good vibes of a busy restaurant. Visited Blacklock for the first time. Girlfriend booked it for a group of us based on reviews and location. You go in and down into the main area where it is all happening. This was busy and the atmosphere was buzzing. Service was excellent. I went for the 300g fillet and it was good ... very good! Had the crayfish salad for starter and was surprised at how good that was ... the avocado in the base salad is sublime. I did see the beef ribs starters coming out though and admit to some food envy but cannot complain as the crayfish salad was good and quite light before tucking into the steak main. I had the low alcohol beer served in an iced beer glass - nice!. Next time I'm going for the porterhouse! Will definitely be going back to this place and cannot recommend it enough. Superb. Service was great, we were given good recommendations but when it comes to ordering the stake it’s a bit confusing in the quantity to get. Definitely have to book far in advance to get a table. Food was good the porter stake was amazing. The cheesecake is something you have to get and if you get lucky you might the left over tray to share.

I reserved this popular restaurant a month in advance, but didn’t notice that they don’t serve steak on Sundays—only three options like beef rump and lamb shank. It's really surprising that a steakhouse wouldn’t offer steak on a Sunday! I have to order, and it was just average. Our water jug was empty and no one refilled it. I really felt like asking them to remove the 12.5% service charge, since there was basically no service. The restaurant was also noisy, tables were small and placed too close together. Don’t expect much from the dining environment.

Went around 5pm on a Thursday. They were able to seat us from walking in. The steak was super lovely. Would recommend the prime rib. The Denver was nice but a tad chewy, however the chips and the bone marrow was lovely and would highly recommend. We ordered dessert and got the cheesecake and crumble. Would recommend as well. Had a very good experience at the restaurant but we were made unaware that the restaurant needed the table back at a certain time and it was towards the end of the meal that the host told us that they needed the table back asap which surprised us as we were not told at the beginning and were still waiting on our dessert.
