Tbone

The I fillet was very tender and juicy. The porterhouse was perfectly cooked with the right amount of fat around the edges. The scotch fillet was cooked to perfection. The Rib eye almost was too much to eat but somehow I muscled through and one of these I have had. Don't forget the chips with the creamy garlic sauce. The chocolate cake was epic and could be shared. The cheese cake was top shelf.

Hands down the best steak I've ever tried!!! Kobe Cuisine Wagyu Marble Score 6+ Red Gum Creek 70 Day Grain Fed Definitely will come back in the future.

Prawns very unoriginal

I'm never one that gives very bad reviews but this was a bad good experience. The only reason this restaurant gets two stars is for the service but other than that the food wasn't good. Started with prawns that was cooked in a process sauce that tasted very bland and had no flavor (I know that's the definition of bland but I had too repeat it). The BBQ ribs were tender but either they were overcooked or the grill Hadn't been cleaned because the charred taste was overwhelming and took away from how tender they were. Now the Scottish steak. Had the same charred flavor and I honestly wanted to ask for steak sauce because of how burnt it tasted. Don't know if this was an off night but as a steak eater I am shocked at the high ratings yelp and trip advisor gives this steak house. I will remember this restaurant for all the wrong reasons

Best rib steak in town!

This was not our original intended destination but I am so glad we ended up here! Dark yet trendy decor, comfy seating, open yet still intimate dining. Service was friendly from the hostess though to our great servers. The menu has a diverse selection to please any picky eater including salads. They have a great fixed price menu for lunch and dinner but read the fine print as it's only available at certain times. We ordered rib steak which comes with your choice of potato and you can order extra sides for an additional cost if you like. Steak was perfectly cooked to order. The baked potato and crisps were both delicious. The crisps were The best I've ever had in a steakhouse, really. They have a great selection of desserts and cheese plates if you have room afterwards. Definitely worth a repeat trip....

I loved all the food I had here, but 4 stars instead of 5 because I can't say I'm a steak expert. My medium-rare fillet was perfectly tender and juicy, my friend's kangaroo was exotic but flavorful, and the sweet potato fries were as good as they get. Even the flour-less chocolate cake looked like steak. No complaints at all!

So I've been to Entrecôte twice, and I've walked out the happiest gal about town twice. Never have…read moreI felt so fancy and special in a place so relaxing and unpretentious. The first time I ventured in was to indulge in what is likely the happiest of Happy Hours - $2 oysters and $12 glasses of Mumm champagne - that is ACTUAL champagne, people. I refer to this kind of treat as Choysters and I guarantee you, you'll feel like a French royal by the time you finish that second glass. My next trip was for dinner. I was so excited to try their famous Steak Frites - Grilled Hopkins River Porterhouse, with salad and BOTTOMLESS FRIES. Can you feel my excitement as you read?! The steak was cooked to absolute perfection and the salad gave much needed greenery to the dish. This is such a fun destination if you've had a GREAT day at work and want to celebrate or are celebrating an anniversary of birthday but don't want anything too over the top.

$2 oysters. $12 glasses of Champagne (the real stuff). Charming waiters. Frenchy vibes. One of the…read moremeatiest cheeseburgers known to man. Steak and endless frites. Entrecôte is what I imagine heaven is like. It's fun, decadent, doesn't take itself too seriously, and has enough options to keep each day a little different, but not so many that you need to waste precious time making decisions. This isn't complex food, it's not food that requires discussions on how it was made or where the ingredients are from. Nope, it's delicious classic food that lets you get on with what's most important - enjoying the company of your friends. You'll eat and drink way more than you intended, but by golly will you have a fun night.
