A steakhouse and bar on St Asaph Street in the Christchurch CBD, set up for long dinners, big tables and late bottles. The grill cooks hand-cut Canterbury beef, Southland angus and Fiordland venison over real heat. The website describes a 300g premium cut served with creamy mash, charred broccolini and a choice of garlic butter or peppercorn jus, and venison with kumara purée and blackberry jus. The menu also has stone oven pizzas, including a classic Margherita and a loaded Meat Lovers. Craft cocktails and a wine list of over 100 New Zealand wines sit at the bar, and Happy Hour runs daily from 4 to 7pm.
The website quotes diners who praised a Canterbury ribeye cooked well, a birthday dinner with flawless service, a corporate function for 80 people where the venue hire was easy, and an espresso martini. It quotes no complaints, so the view here is one-sided. The 300-capacity private venue is for corporate events, birthdays and weddings, and the site says functions can run until 3am on request. Nearby, The Monday Room, 0.1 km away, and Brazilian Kitchen, 0.2 km away, are both rated on Open Locally, and there are 31 restaurant listings within a kilometre in all.
