   The best steak restaurant we’ve ever been to in Melbourne. We’re huge foodies and have been to many steak bars/restaurants. From entrance to exit our dinner at Steak Ministry was amazing! Service was outstanding, drink service and drinks were great, the food tasted exactly how it should and more!! Husband got the tomahawk and it was the bomb! Cooked perfectly and even bought out for us to take photos before the chef carved it up! Wagyu was perfection and our daughter had the calamari which she smashed! We had side potatoes and veggies which were massive portions also. The quality of meat was divine and just melted in your mouth. Great portions and the ambience overall was relaxed, just the right amount of people to fill a restaurant and not overcrowded. Love when restaurants don’t crank music where you have to scream over conversation. One of the best dinner experiences we’ve had! Will definitely be back!!

   Service - 2/5 we were greeted by a nice waiter and brought to our table in a timely manner. However, after our order was placed we were not asked once how our food was or if we needed anything further for our meals. Not even the man who took my money asked how my food was, these basic customer service skills are not hard to achieve. Food - our steaks were fairly priced and were presented well. However, both mine (400g ribeye) and my partners (porterhouse 300g) steaks were over cooked a level above what we requested. This was something I wanted to to mention to the staff but was never asked. The food was good and I believe this restaurant has more to offer. But for a first impression, both service and food preparation quality were lacking and need to be improved.

   A wonderful place for a special occasion. The waiting staff was outstanding. They took their time to explain the menu and knew what to recommend: food and beverage. We all had a wonderful time and was a great experience.

   Large group behind us spoilt the evening. VERY LOUD and VERY obnoxious. But they were regulars so manager refused to move them. Whole restaurant was shocked and will probably never go again. Even though food and service was amazing and they tried to compensate. It was not enough for us to go back.

   No one finished steaks. Little too salty and more chewy. Will try one more day at this stage as previous experience different to yesterday.

    We went here for Valentines Day special, booked in at 7.30pm dinner. When we arrived we were ushered to our seats. Beating drum music in the background, loud chatter of guests, cool temperature. Luckily the sun began to set as the sun was glaring in and blinding us in our eyes. We were only a few minutes late as there was no parking and had to walk further than expected by the Train Station. Look at the menu, talk, order drinks, okay we thought the night was young and we would have a pleasant date. We noticed many other couples next to us, they must also be out for Valentines Dinner too. This place was highly rated... ...Little did we know, we wouldn't be leaving until 10.30pm. We booked on Open Table and it mentioned there was a complimentary entree. The entree was 2 slices of bread (not toasted), small dish of dip and 2 slices of cold meat. Entree did not arrive until 8.25 pm, yes it was fresh and very tasty, possibly the highlight of all the meals. Main 9 pm, not so bad, it was steaks but i would not say WOW this is the best. It was very chewy and i struggled to cut it despite using a steak knife, and trying not to mangle it as i was cutting it. Dessert? Well, we had to watch a newly seated couple beside us receive their bread, entree and main meal and drinks, and asked if everything was OK 3 times while we sat there, wondering when will it be our time? Finally got the attention of the waiter who said he will check ASAP on our dessert. We felt bad to the wait staff, you could see they were really struggling. We were thinking if we should just leave or wait. Over 3 hours we finally finished. $119 each and did not include drinks. We only had a wine each. $272. We will not be back.

    Service was outstanding. Food was good but very pricey in terms of what you get. I also felt the steak, though well prepared, lacked seasoning. The pork ribs, again well prepared but with a sauce that was very sweet and overpowering.

    Best calamari I have ever had, all the food was delicious. The dessert was incredible (cherry ripe) and the service was outstanding, we were looked after from the moment we walked in until we left.

    What a gem!!!! Our experience at Steak Ministry was most enjoyable and pretty much faultless. The food presentation was amazing and every dish was delicious. Cocktails were beautiful. Staff were attentive and pleasant. Decor is most unusual but very interesting. On the negative side would be not getting a booth seat - how do you get that? When I booked online it asked if the booking was for a special occasion, but no one at the restaurant knew it was for a birthday so I'm not sure why that's included in the booking process. We would highly recommend Steak Ministry even if it is in Glen Waverley!! Worth every cent!

    Portion sizes are not like what they used to be. Also remembering a lot more options and add-ons back then. The Maître D also charged my card incorrectly so had to come back inside a 2nd time to pay after almost driving away from the venue. Safe to say definitively won’t be coming back here again.

    A lovely dining experience. Food was delicious and staff were very friendly. Only complaint is service. We had to ask several times for the basics of salt, condiments and water as they kept forgetting. Not sure if it was because they were busy, but when paying good prices, attention to detail is expected!

    Amazing food, service and wine. The ribs fell off the bone and the eye fillet cooked as the chef would have it was perfection paired with a 2022 Tasmanian Pinot Noir. Will definitely be back.

    Oyster Kilpatrick were inedible Onion rings were inedible Kids slider meal was $20 !! Tiny slider We spent over 700 for 3 adults and 1 9yr old, won't be back. Everyone looked busy but nobody really doing much. We had to get everyone's attention for more drinks. Lost revenue, staff not trained properly. Way overpriced

    Service is VERY much lacking given the menu prices. Vibe, drinks and menu options all are great however after choosing on 2x$180 steaks for our mains and asking for at least 30 mins between starters and mains it was so disappointing that even though they checked if we still wanted to wait that the mains came out within a few mins of the starters being cleared. Would also be helpful should the service staff guide on portion size given a lot of our food was wasted with ridiculously large sized side dishes. A simple thing that could help the customer and also avoid a lot of wastage. Better experiences for the value to be had elsewhere I’m afraid.

    From the moment we were greeted upon arrival the entire experience was great. The wait staff were very attentive and on the ball. The food was delicious and we never wanted for anything. This is how great service, and food should be, and was pre pandemic! Well Done Steak Ministry! We'll be back soon.

    Booked well ahead for 2 and was seated in the far corner next to the coffee machine and boxes of stock. Felt like I was sitting in a store room. Not exactly what I was expecting for the amount of money we were spending.

    It was OK, but we are unlikely to re-visit as I don't believe it's value for money. Service was poor. After we finished our mains we were asked to move tables to allow them to cater for a large group, which we were more than happy to do. After they moved us, we sat at the new table for over and an hour and were never offered another drink or even dessert... this was disappointing.
