    We were shown to a comfortable seat, given individual aircon because we arrived a little overheated and the steaks were amazing for the money!

    Definitely value for money - Thursday night $25 steak night. Dressing on the salad was delicious, the seasoning on the chips was amazing, the steak was cooked to perfection and the accompanying mushroom sauce was define and the cider went down a treat on a hot night. Service was quick and efficient and delivered with a smile. Everything was on point.

    I was greeted at the door by Oman and looked after immediately. He was very professional and obliging. It made lunch all the more enjoyable. My parma was a little dry and my colleague said his philly steak sandwich was okay. The bread tasted stale but the steak was fantastic. I also appreciate the quick and professional response from Anna regarding our pre-order and birthday cake we wished to bring along for our boss.

    I've had a couple of birthdays here now and they've always been so accommodating with my larger group of 20+. Drinks and food are always so so good! We're obsessed with the Aranchi balls. Service is fast, staff are super lovely. This will always be my go to spot in Melbourne.

    Made a dinner reservation for 8pm. I arrived slightly before then and was told the kitchen was closing. Said they would wait for my companion and I to order before closing, but we were unpleasantly rushed. The staff clearly wanted us out of there, which I understand, however an 8pm reservation should not be taken if the kitchen wants to close before then!

    The buffalo wings were not real, felt like frozen wings were dipped in sauce. And kaiju were full off pepper. Won't recomment the wings.
