The Steak House to end all arguments.
It is rare to find a steak this well done and the Master Chef challenges you to do so! The Jervois Steak House became an overnight success after opening in late November 2006 . Viva Magazine gave it an extremely rare 5 out of 5 rating, one week after launch. Sigley and Gault embarked on a marathon mission across both coasts of the US, sourcing the perfect mix to establish a legendary fine Steak House. Gault imported specialized meat cookers to cater for the varying meat cuts.
The Steak House dcor is elegant black, red and white with upstairs and downstairs dining, a private dining room for 12 - 14 and a saloon bar which is refined, but a lot of fun.
