Extremely enjoyable dinner. The 37 day dry-aged ribeye on the bone (500g) and the lamb tenderloin on the bone (400g) were excellent, with the lamb being a particular stand-out. The addition of bone marrow adds a creamy dimension to the meats. The sides of the duck fat potato croquettes and the freekah salad were also tasty. Service was good as well.

What a place ? Our best restaurant in 6 weeks NZL ! The only trouble was a much too noisy group just behind our table ! Perfect wine and very friendly serving ! Perfect Lamb and sauce as well my wife a fillet out of the paradise back ! Very special atmosphere in an old steelers hall

One of the most exquisite restaurants I’ve had the privilege to dine at, with some of the most delightful and appetising meat I’ve ever tasted in Christchurch! Loved the atmosphere and was left with a sense of fulfilment through my experience. Sublime deliverance of service from the waiter, would be exalted to dine here again.

Great atmosphere, friendly service, the staff paid special attention to my dietary restrictions and the food was excellent. Will definitely return next time I’m in Christchurch

In summary:This is a good steak restaurant that falls a bit short in every aspect.Sourdough for example. It comes out as toast, and was effectively pane di casa more than a sourdough. Given it’s $14 I’d expect it to be the best sourdough I’ve had with a high quality butter. It wasn’t to be.Then with the steaks. They unfortunately didn’t have half of the ones on the menu. Bit of a shame. The steak I did get was the dry aged t-bone. Well cooked with a lovely crust and great seasoning. Quality of the beef was good but certainly not a the top level, mainly due to the texture.The sides (cos salad, croquettes and carrots) were good, but nothing that blew us away.The service was really friendly, but the staff weren’t very attentive.We had a great night, but everything just fell a bit short of expectations.

Excellent service. The oyster and beef tartare entrees were excellent and steak very flavourful. We liked that bone marrow was served with the steak - great touch.Unfortunately the desserts were unusual and not very nice which was a bit of a let down after a lovely evening. Excellent wine.

We were greeted with warm hospitality all throughout the night. Food were exceptionally good. We tried all the sides and every one of them were outstanding. Dry aged meat and lamb were expectedly superb according to their prices. It was worth every penny. Our experience for that night was so satisfying and filling. Will recommend to all of our friends.

If you want a good steak in Christchurch, it is the place to go. They have a few options of aged steak. We ordered the tomahawk, it is pretty good. For dessert, all of us think the Chocolate Marquise is the best
