    The eye fillet and crab biscuits were to die for. These dishes rival any other steakhouse with ease and then some.

    I'd heard great things about Lars, regularly taking clients to my Broadbeach favs, but the food was next-level amazing. We all ordered different steaks, and I cannot tell you which was better. Cooked to perfection! Amazing sides too, service, ambience.... everything. I'll be back as a regular, and will happily take clients here too.

    The cocktails were 10/10. The pumpkin angoloti was beautiful, however out of 10 pieces of the pasta there were 3 that were empty without any filling. We understand how hard the restaurant business is, and we would never give a bad review for no reason, however my husband ordered a rump cap medium rare and instead we were delivered a piece of flank steak that couldn’t have been more then 100g and was so incredibly tough to cut through and to chew all in all was extremely disappointing for the price we paid and the reviews we had from other people.

    Excellent food and service, I made the mistake of booking to eat at the bar but was placed at the window. A minor issue compared with the quality of the food and the friendly service, thanks to Devi.
