OK - so you cook the steaks on the barbeque yourself - can't complain to the chef - you're it!!. As a local we come here regularly - the steaks and salads are the attraction for me - great natural produce and a reputation gained over time. Thya also offer Pizza and Mussel dishes for those too lazy to cook... More
