A good family restaurant is judged on how consistently it cooks steaks to order and how fresh its breakfasts and sides arrive. A large menu can be a strength, but a shorter list often means better timing in the kitchen. Groups are best served by booking ahead and saying how they want their meat cooked. Many regulars judge a restaurant on a second visit, since one meal can be an off day.
Its West Coast Road site in Yaldhurst makes it a practical choice for a family meal on Christchurch's west side.
