Unfortunately the 2 who ordered the scotch fillet were not impressed with the quality of steaks. There was too much gristle/fat and were overall inedible. They didn't want to make a fuss and didn't say anything. There was also a problem with one of the other meals, again they didn't want to make a fuss but there were some changes made after some pressure from the rest of the table

The food as always is spot on, the service is always very good, however last night they had a few walk ins, which impacted the service as I think they needed more staff to cope with that.

Seemed to be new young staff, delightful/refreshing experience. The only thing that would have been appreciated, would be chilled water. In saying that we probably would have outstayed our welcome.
