    I ordered a Medium Well steak and got a Medium rare which was a shame. Also the chimichuri sauce was so oily. Overall kind of dissapointed

    Great food and friendly helpful service. The tomahawk steak served at the table was fun! We went with friends for a fun night out and this place was perfect. Also liked the semi outdoor feel with the front of the restaurant open.

    Bacon burnt ends, pork ribs, the smokey burger, mac'n'cheese and sauces were all great, but the beef ribs were really outstanding. Rich, perfectly charred and (I'm pleased to say) as good as the short ribs from the old menu. Wait staff were excellent too and deserved their tip. The drinks were less exciting, on balance. Very sweet cocktails, ran out of Kirin and the wine list is really underwhelming. Short and overpriced ($20 bottles for $95). Honestly, the excellent meat on offer (the steaks looked amazing too) deserves a better wine list. Great night overall, though. I've eaten here before and will do so again.

    Great service, great atmosphere but this isn’t really a smokehouse, more a bbq place. The food was very tasty, but the ribs were very tough/chewy.

    We were celebrating my partners birthday as a table of 6. Overall the service, wait time and over all experience was very poor. We had numerous waiters who were clearly not communicating with each other. We would order drinks off one waiter wait up to 20 minutes and no sign of our drinks then reorder with another waiter. Even though I listed on the booking it was for a birthday there was no reference to his birthday nothing offered. I can’t eat cheese and don’t like meat so I ordered the barramundi and asked to replace the Parmesan mash with chips however was charged separately for the chips. Received a flat Pepsi max and was still charged. Was never asked when paying if we enjoyed our meal how it was nothing just pushed out the door. Really unhappy with the experience considering we paid almost $1000 for our food and drinks!!
