Took a large group of my family and friends here for a birthday party and had a fantastic night. Meals were good, the meat and potatoes were delicious and the service was friendly. We felt welcomed and it is a very cosy restaurant for a warm mid winter nights meal.

As usual Breslin has delivered excellent food and service. By far the best restaurant on South Bank outside of a few at the Casino End. I have been suggesting this for years now but would love to see Venison on the meat menu given the connection with your Antler light fittings!!! Thanks again.
The Breslin SteakhouseResponded on June 16, 2025
What a treat to read — thank you for your ongoing support! We're so glad to hear Breslin continues to hit the mark for you. Being one of your favourites on Southbank means the world to us! Looking forward to having you back soon for more good times, great food, and maybe a little venison down the track.

I recently took my son to The Breslin Steakhouse at Southbank for his birthday dinner, and it was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome, adding thoughtful touches that made the evening feel truly special. The ambiance was warm and inviting, with just the right balance of sophistication and comfort, perfect for a celebratory evening. The menu was a carnivore’s dream, and each dish we ordered was cooked to perfection. The steak was melt-in-your-mouth tender, bursting with flavour, and paired beautifully with the house-made sauces and sides. My son especially loved the thick fries. What really stood out, though, was the service. Our waitress was charming and funning and provided great service. If you're looking for a place that delivers top-tier food, impeccable service, and a memorable experience, The Breslin Steakhouse is it. We’ll definitely be back!

What an absolute joy to read — thank you for sharing such a special moment with us. We’re so glad your son’s birthday dinner hit all the right notes, from the warm welcome to those crispy fries he loved (we’re a little obsessed with them too). It means a lot to know you felt taken care of and that the atmosphere felt just right for the occasion, and we’ll be sure to pass on your kind words to your waitress — she’ll be chuffed to hear it. Can’t wait to have you both back soon. Here’s to more great meals and memories ahead!

The food was great...definitely above average. Wine way over priced. If the drinks weren't so expensive, I would have given 5 star.
The Breslin SteakhouseResponded on June 16, 2025
Thanks for the honest review — we're really glad to hear you enjoyed the food and felt it was a cut above! We appreciate the feedback on our wine pricing too. We do our best to offer a range that reflects quality and value, but we’ll absolutely take your comments on board as we continue to review and refine our list. Hope to welcome you back again soon, and thanks again for the kind words!

Beef Wellington was great. Steak was tender and mushroom duxelle was an umami explosion. My only feedback is the meat could be seasoned more, but I don't think it's supposed to be eaten without the duxelle anyway. We also had the tasty pork ribs, and their latte's surprisingly good too.
