Had a bit of a mixed experience here. The starters tended towards the uninspiring side; the duck spring rolls, in particular, contained an overpowering amount of onion. The stuffed mushrooms were better, but still not really anything to write home about. This place really redeemed itself when the mains were served, however. The 'signature' porterhouse steak, rubbed in spices and cooked up medium-rare, was among the best steaks I've ever had. It was cooked perfectly, and the spice-rub paired deliciously with the meat. The sauce it came with was tasty as well, but also superfluous. The spice-rub on its own was an excellent accompaniment. The calamari was also superb, with this being one of a small handful of places I've been to that's actually capable of delivering tender calamari. It wasn't even the slightest bit chewy or rubbery, being just lightly cooked through. It was also well seasoned, artfully presented, and quite tasty. Between the two options, the steak is the better dish, but it's a close contest and really both were excellent. The cost of that excellence appears to be slow service, however, as we were left waiting for quite a long time between our starters and our mains. We watched as other tables, including those that arrived after us, received their mains and desserts while we sat and watched. We ended up being the last table in the restaurant. I imagine that there might have been some dramas in the kitchen as they tried to serve up both dishes, perfectly cooked, at the same time. But I'm willing to forgive quite a bit in exchange for some outstanding food, and in the end that's what this place delivered. Dessert was also very good. Not as outstanding as the mains, but certainly far more impressive than the starters. And delivered without the lengthy wait, to boot. Prices are a bit towards the high end, but probably typical for this part of town. read more

My partner & I really enjoyed our 3 course meal at the restaurant recently. First time dining there & I could not fault a thing. Duck spring rolls for entrée; pork belly with pan fried scallops & soft shell crab as our mains; finished off with a dessert taster plate - absolutely to die for. Wonderful service from the lovely staff, we didn't have to wait for long for our meals & they kept our glasses filled the whole night. And even though the restaurant was fully booked, the atmosphere still felt romantic & cozy. Not over crowded or noisy at all. Will definitely be going back. read more

Great steak. However I am not versed in the difference in porterhouses. I questioned my order and then looked up Australian porterhouse. Seems that is what we call a sirloin strip. Real good food. read more

Up from Brisbane for work, saw the reviews and as it was close to my hotel I thought I would try the place. Can't fault the place as food & service was great. Definitely worth a visit read more

Was turned away by wait staff claiming the restaurant was book full even though there was only one table seated. Lame.
