A blast from the past. Not much has altered at this restaurant for many years. ALWAYS a delicious feast of red meat and a great bottle of red, with 'old fashion' great service, one of my favourites in the winter. More

Went for work Christmas party, only a party of about 14 but it was a very ordinary menu, we felt like it was just bulk cooked with no love. I had to send my raw fish back. More

The food has stayed very 60's with heavy meals and not much flair. The staff could n't be more grumpy if they tried. The place is tired and locked in a time warp of yesteryear. More

It's not just meat but the way they prepare and cook their meats are exceptional, equal to the top restaurants anywhere in the world. The service is professional, tinged with a homily friendly undertone> Have been back many times, and will continue to do so. More

3 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 December 2011

Loved the quirky touches such as the novel cleaver menu. Unfortunately, even though it was a very quiet night, we had to wait a long time to place orders, and a long time to receive drinks. Chose Chateaubriand (for two) and it really was cooked to perfection - absolutely delicious. However, by the time we had eaten it was quite... More

My wife and I dined here before going to the movies. We booked in a little earlier than normal and advised our waiter of our plans. The entree came quite quickly but it took a long time for the mains to arrive and we had to remind our waiter twice. My wife's steak main course was cooked perfectly medium as... More

We went on a weeknight and the place was pretty busy. The restaurant has that dependable kind of feel from a restaurant that's been doing what it does for a long time now without changing the formula. The sort of place where you know you won't get a bad meal where the chef has gone all experimental and failed with... More

We dined here for the first time on a Thurs night. Only 4 other tables had other diners (the way my hubby likes it - not too much noise). I had cheated throughout the day and looked at the menu online so I knew what I wanted. Was disappointed that the price online was approx $3 cheaper per meal than... More
