Greeted with super friendly waiters amongst a modern yet rustic feeling style, with a charming candle to helo set the laid back mood. The food was delicious, easily the best steak we have had in Sydney. The Sirloin, brisket, and rump were so good, finding a way to somehow outclass the rest of the delicious offerings, sauces and salads. We were so impressed with the deliciousness of the food, the friendliness of the staff, and overall experience, we are heading back on Monday again! Would recommend to anyone looking for a great steak experience!
