Great food and even better service! Staff are always friendly and gets all the other staff to come out to sing happy birthday with a cake and bubble gun. This is orr favourite place for a good steak and to celebrate birthdays, i've been 3 x in one month! Although the last 2 times we went with my girlfriends it was hot (temperature) that we were fanning ourselves. The second time, one of the girls even brought a hand fan. We were seated at the booth. Both times we told the staff about the issue. Hopefully the aircon works better next time.
