We enjoyed the special Christmas set menus. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Food was fantastic with large servings. (We needed to bring desserts home as we were so full from first 2 courses. Very well presented and we will be back to sample the normal menu.

First time at Steak Ministry and we will definitely come back. We had steak as you do at a steak restaurant and we were not disappointed, tender, moist and delicious, could not stop eating as the twice cooked potatoes and the cous cous salad also fabulous. Highly recommend.

We dined here for an early dinner starting with a dozen fresh oysters & a glass of Prosecco for golden hour. It was a lovely evening so we sat out side in the court yard & had our oysters, then got escorted to our table when our entrees were ready. It was a lovely way to start the evening. Then we shared the duck liver parfait, prawns & a tomato salad. For mains we couldn’t decide so we ended up sharing the pork belly & the barramundi which were both Devine! After all this food we had to share the basque cheese cake to top off a wonderful evening.
