    Service was terrible,Staff obviously didn’t want to be there.Only 4 people in there,yet food seemed to take a long time and my steak was over cooked.Given that this is a STEAK restaurant one would expect that if nothing else,your steaks would be perfect everytime.Will never be back,or recommend to anyone.

    Came here a few months ago for a last minute evening bite. The restaurant had only three other people, yet service seemed to be slow. The servers at the counter were very friendly and welcoming. The food however was underwhelming. I ordered the lamb shanks, which had a very weird tasting sauce. My friend ordered the ribs and was highly disappointed as it was not as saucy as expected, and was rather dry. I ordered the “panna cotta” with a berry coulis, and was surprised when it came out looking like berry yoghurt in a glass. Certainly did taste like they just poured youghurt in a glass. Would definitely not return here or recommend to anyone.

    Went for a meal as a party of 7 for a birthday dinner. Quiet for a Saturday night and only a couple of other tables of diners eating. One of our party arrived early and ordered a drink from the bar, she decided to sit at the bar and was told by one of the staff serving that she was ‘sitting in his chair’ There was only one bar stool at the bar. Made her feel uncomfortable so she sat on the couches instead. Dinner was booked for 7.30pm and 20mins in we were told that we needed to order soon. Waitress was friendly and was good at service and making sure we had drinks etc. Meals arrived and were nice. Fish of the day, Schnitzel, Chicken and Pork was ordered. A couple of meals tasted really salty, the Chicken and Pork and we think it was due to the sauce? Salt overpowered the meal. A couple of desserts were ordered the chocolate brownie was nice, a bit grainy. After the desserts we noticed that the chef had cleaned up and the lights were switched off in the kitchen. Staff waited out front of house with jackets and bags ready to go home. We felt that it was time for us to go so we promptly finished our drinks and paid. Not a nice feeling to get the impression it was time to go. It was 10pm! Restaurant is open till midnight. Female bathrooms a very unpleasant odour coming from there. A very average experience which left some of us a bit disappointed. Staff didn’t seem very enthusiastic overall apart from the waitress who serviced us.

    A pretty disappointing dining experience when my husband, son and I visited this week. We had lovely entree of cheesy garlic bread but then after my husband and son received their man’s were then told my main was confused by staff and I would have to wait another 15-20 minutes to receive mine. I was offered a plate of chips or something from the bar snack menu but I declined this and the main itself because we didn’t want to have to wait. We were pretty disappointed when we only had the garlic bread taken off our order. Where are the thoughts for the lifetime value of the customer and the repercussions of this bad review! Not sure if we will be back!

    We chose this place to sit down and have lunch based on the reviews we read on here. Great to know that the reviews were right. We ordered from the brunch menu. Our meals were beautifully cooked and the garlic bread was really yummy too. Awesome friendly service. We plan to go back here for dinner at some stage

    Went here for birthday dinner My meal was mussels and it was beautiful! There was six of us Mum ordered a vegetarian meal and it was average Dad ordered mussels also and loved them My brother ordered a huge steak but said it came with a salad but it was barley a salad it was tiny and steak was a little undercooked and tough Brothers wife ordered pork belly it was good My wife had seafood chowder and she also loved it So all round pretty good All deserts where lovely

    Me and my girlfriend went to porterhouse blues for dinner last night. I have been here before and it has been outstanding. Tonight we started of with Garlic Bread for our Entree very nice way to start of with nice and crisp probably needed more garlic on these but was still very nice. For main my partner ordered Boston Blue – 220g prime beef fillet steak served with a medley of roasted vegetables was meant to medium but she said it probably needed about 2 minutes more of cooking but overall her meal was very nice. I preferred and ordered a New Orleans Steak – which is 330g Porterhouse Steak with salad and fries and 1 x Egg the steak was cooked perfect Med Rare just what I asked for well done by the chef. But I did find the steak very fatty at the ends not the best so I cut away the fat from both ends and around the steak I have had a lot better. Me and my partner were just chatting and I had a pint of beer on my left hand side with probably about two or three mouthfuls of beer in it with out evening asking that waiter walked past and took my glass off the table and took it away we were both gob smacked he may of been new but they should always asked if u have finished disappointing. We didn’t have desert but I will come back and try again
