   Our meal was excellent in all regards. The beef was tender and cooked to perfection. A good wine list, ambient lighting, comfortable chairs; and a fabulous view onto our beautiful harbour. The service was excellent: knowledgeable and attentive. Highly recommend.

   Overall experience was great, The waiters were amazing at explaining the menu and were friendly (they are worth more money). Food was cooked perfectly but I would have liked to see more on the side plates to increase the value for money!

   Fantastic night. Service was impeccable. Tips on the menu and wine combinations were excellent. The eye of rump steak was one of the best I've ever had. We will be coming again. Thanks for an exceptional night guys. 5 stars.

   Waiststaff made it very uncomfortable to relax standing side by side waiting to pounce on you to move a plate, fill one sip of water etc. It was too much. And sitting right on top of the kitchen was not relaxing at all.

   Hands down the best steak restaurant in Newcastle. The staff, Amanda, V and Will, are absolutely amazing. This was my 3rd visit in a month, and I will be back again soon.

   The Service And Employees were Amazing and friendly Brilliant Food if your looking for a steakhouse It starts getting a Little Expensive when your adding Sides like greens and Potato (Which in my opinion should be included or at least one side) The tiramisu was a great way to cap off the night after.. it’s up there as one of the best I’ve had since I one I had in Italy 🇮🇹 almost 10 years ago..

   I had an amazing experience! The service was incredibly personal, everyone went above and beyond to ensure we had the perfect meal. The steaks were cooked to perfection, and the sides were absolutely delicious. The cocktail bar is a standout too, the whole ambiance is warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot for any occasion. Highly recommend this place for a top-tier dining experience!

    We went for NYE dinner. Was a pleasant experience. You could tell it was a bit rusty being that hasn’t been open for long and a lot maybe new?. But Amanda was AMAZING! You can tell she was very experienced and knew the menu well. And the food was nice. We will be back. Want to try the full cocktail list 😍
