It was nice but next time I think I will save room for the king prawns instead. I was able to speak to the chef upon this visit and learned that he chooses the meat every morning carefully and spends hours preparing it himself. He then spends time getting the grill ready and that can take hours too. Sooo much passion and knowledge go into cooking a single steak. Def going to go back again soon. So happy I stumbled to this place and almost don't want to share it as it might get too busy and run out of tables when I go. My own selfish little slice of meaty heaven.

The staff then gathered at the bar and at full volume started talking about their night out without giving a care that there was a customer, albeit just one, next to them. If that was the case, they should have sate at the other section where they would then be able to chat to their hearts content. A customer shouldn't need to tell them that. The steak was fatty (not in a good way, the layer of fat was just so thick) and at medium rare, the insides should still be warm. But it was cold when they brought it out. Further, the side of hand cut fries were soggy and mushy and definitely not hot. For the price I paid ($57 for my meal) I definitely feel shortchanged.

We had a special event to celebrate & wanted to do it in style, so my mate chose the Ministry. They started things off right even before the meal when traffic was making it impossible to be there for our reserved time & worked with me to adjust the booking. The Rib'a'licious starter of Lamb Ribs, Pork Ribs, Chicken Ribs & Brisket was excellent as were the cocktails & bread to get us settled in. Service was terrific, proffered by a cheerful yank from Alabama (can't remember her name, probably coz I spent the evening calling her Bama) don't hesitate to ask for her if you're paying a visit. Because it was a special occasion, & we were splitting it between 3 of us, we ordered the Super Special 1.5 kg 9+ Wagyu Tomahawk (pictured). Folks, if you're just looking for a piece of meat for dinner, then go to the nearest kebab shop & save yourselves a couple hundred $. But if you enjoy making a complete experience of a meal, something to remember & talk about in times to come, then give the Steak Ministry a chance to help you create that memory.

The sauces run in a line at the bottom of the mains listing and you don't necessarily see the charge costing so when. asked, it should be followed up with the declaring that there is a CHARGE - yes, you get a boat of sauce but who needs that quantity for a mere 200g piece of steak - this is a disgrace - as Meg R also commented "the sauces are a rip off" so BE WARNED and BEWARE.

I was surprised walking into Limor's, it was larger on the inside than I had anticipated and had a mezzanine level which was for events- and happened to have an event in full swing that evening. Due to the size of the site, everything echoed, making it rather uncomfortable for the diners below, who were exposed to the sometimes inappropriate music and comments of the patrons above. The service at Limor's is standard. You'll be taken to your seat and given water. You'll be attended to the average amount of times and food will be cleared when you are done. They will also try up sell coffee and dry looking cake to you to invite you to leave. The service is absolutely nothing to write home about, neither is the decor. I don't even think I could describe it to you because it all fades in to the background. In general, the overall feel of Limor's is 'High School Cafeteria.' So we ordered, some sort of main that consisted of meat and chicken shish, two sides being chips, salad or vegetables. We opted for Vegetables and substituted chips for rice. This was lost when explaining to the waiter (third different for the evening) as he just took off the chips, and charged for additional rice. I was on a date, so there was no sense complaining at the counter. But honestly- standard stuff here. The meat and chicken shish were perfectly seasoned, excellently cooked and generously portioned. The skewered veggies were cooked well but under seasoned. The "salad" was not dressed. Oh and the side plate of rice was over cooked. Take from that what you will. We also ordered Cabbage Rolls which came with Israeli Salad. No. Just, no. The layers of cabbage were too thick and the bottoms were burnt, literally black. The filling was okay, too much rice not enough meat and vegetables. The salad was good. They dressed this one. Two mains cost us just under $50 and to be honest I was a little embarrassed I suggested the place. The atmosphere took away from our dining experience and the cuisine itself really did not have enough redeeming qualities to make me ever want to return unfortunately. All in all, I think you could do better and so could they.

When you are in the mood for a thick, juicy steak cooked to perfection, Squires Loft is the perfect…read morespot. This casual restaurant offers a wide variety of cuts which are served with chips or baked potato. My favourite is the juicy Scotch fillet with mushroom sauce but for those who prefer something on the bone, the rib eye is a winner. All steaks are served with a choice of mushroom, black pepper or creamy garlic sauce but are juicy enough to have au naturel as well. If you're extra hungry, try the fried onions or the black tiger prawn kebabs but keep in mind that steak portions are quite large so unless you're sharing the entrees, try not to order too much. The great thing about Squires Loft is their service and quality are always consistent. Every time I dine there, my steak comes out a brilliant medium rare - and isn't an iota over or under cooked. Meals are served promptly, without leaving you wondering what is happening and service staff are normally friendly and on the ball. Keep in mind though that this well-loved steak haunt is very popular even on weekdays so it's best to make a booking and not be late. Don't be that person who reserves a table and shows up 30 minutes late without even calling or you will lose your table.
