Date of visit: March 2010

Approximate cost per head for 2 courses: $200+ ($11.30=£1)

Comments on wine list/beer: Moderately expensive mainly Aussie/NZ wine list, try the carafe (125ml) for $80 – buy one get one free before 7pm. The house red was young and pretty acid.

Summary:

This is a chain of steakhouse across HK. The beef is prime US beef not Australian.

Although the front of this branch looked small, it’s pretty deep and would serve over 100 covers. The front also has a bar.

The steaks/ ribs start at $150.

Overall, the service was very slow. The warm bread (a dark ryish bread that was sweet) was produced after the starters arrived – you get a “house soup” or salad with your main course. The wine only arrived with the starter and not before.

The ribeye that I had was quite spicy – it had a dry rub on it. It was medium and was  probably dry aged as there was a  lack of blood. The chips were over salted and the cole slaw was OK.

There is not a lot I can tell you about this place other than its fine for the price, the beef was tender but that’s about it – its neither good nor bad. Go there if you happened to be in the area and is sick of chinese food.
