Great Steak Restaurant. Starting with the Milk Punch cocktail is a must before moving onto freshly shucked oysters, superbly cooked steak with all the sauces and sides of well cooked chips and lovely seasonal veges oh yes and don’t forget the mushrooms. If any room left the Cheese Board is outstanding. The Team were very welcoming and friendly adding to an overall excellent experience. Had my company dinner here, was a good setting, especially the outdoor patio area had a nice flow to it. The quality of the Wakanui steak was really good, good marbling and well aged. I always like my steaks medium-rare but more on the rare side, and I must say this place gets it right 10 out 10 times. The lobster with beurre blanc was delicious! And the dessert with some Martel VSOP hits the spot at the end. Highly recommended. *As this review is a bit dated some items from the menu may not be available Incredible experience! So private for two, the way the dining is set up was wonderful. Service is so good, they check your bag and coat, constantly refilling water, and 10/10 food! Can't beat it. Ribeye was delicious and huge (pic is deceiving). Fries were best I've ever had!

Lovely place for date night !! We did the "first table" deal and worked great for us. We tried quite a few items of the menu and had great savings. I would absolutely recommend the fish crudo, the Rib eye and the truffle gnocchi. I know is a meat restaurant, but let me say the gnocchi was one of the best I've had; the onion soubise was espectacular, airy and tasty. In general the sides were ok, Caesar salad was good AND the puré as well, would probably not order the mushrooms again. Desserts were good, specially the tiramisú. Would've appreciated a chocolate option as well... The service by the two french ladies was perfect! Attentive and professional. Would recommend !

Thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Options were varied and executed well. I really enjoyed the crudo and steak. The stand out was strangely the Gnocchi (which is something I wouldn't ordinarily order), absolutely loved the crisp to it. Wine was brilliant. Staff were all attentive and in good form. Only comment that I'll make and it's definitely not a complaint as much as we noticed it so others also might. The music choice is unusual. It was a bit distracting from the dining experience but we did have a laugh at a few songs but definitely didn't match the rest of the ambience. Song list below (my phone auto picked it up). Just in case music is a thing you factor in to your dining experience.
