The schnitzels are freshly fried and served hot, and the chips are decent, but nothing to write home about. It's convenient to have waiter service for beer, although I believe this is offered only on certain days.

The food is truly excellent! The portions are generous and very reasonably priced. You have to try the steaks here; not only are they high quality, but the chef cooks them to perfection! Tonight, I had the ribeye (350g) for $30, which comes with two complimentary side dishes (you can choose from 10 options). I went with the onion rings and sautéed mushrooms with spinach in a porcini mushroom sauce (also with 10 different sauces to choose from).

I will not be recommending this place to anyone.

I ordered a fish with lemon, a salad, and fries—very healthy and not greasy at all! My partner had a rump steak with salad and mashed potatoes, and his portion was just as generous and delightfully fresh as mine. I highly recommend this restaurant! Price per person: A$40–60. Food: 5/5. Service: 5/5. Atmosphere: 5/5.
