A little gem of a place! Seeking some really good steak I turned to FourSquare which listed this spot. I didn't hesitate to contact them and make a booking for 30 minutes later. The speaker on the phone was witty, friendly and very professional.
On arrival, we were quickly shown to our table, where Meryl served us for the evening. The starters were quickly served - which set a good tone for the evening! Main was the same and the steak was cooked to perfection! It was juicy and looked amazing too.
I would definitely recommend this place to anybody looking for a cozy, quiet spot to enjoy great steak!! Thanks Meryl for an excellent service last night.
You will definitely see us again to explore more of your menu.
Стейк из страуса очень вкусный и сочный , рекомендую попробовать ! The ostrich steak is very tasty and juicy, I recommend to try it!
Hands down one of the best steaks myself and my husband have ever eaten. The service and staff were amazing!!! Highly recommend this place, couldn’t fault it
Ah this place is just great, food is awesome, beer is cold, service is friendly, not much more you can ask for, when In Cape Town, dinning out here is a must.
The ribs were unbelievable so was the fish (kingclip) with mussels and prawn. Absolutely delicious. The snail sauce is a must try! All paired nicely with some white wine!
Back after many years! Absolutely loved it! Such detail to each customer, best waitress ive had in long time and without a doubt every meal ordered at our table was insane! Loved it!
The BEST ever!!!! Ordered snails n fillet in medium rare with Russian sauce on too! Meat is perfect and the sauce was so rich. Totally worth it even though its slighly pricey comparing to other steak place! Staff was friendly too! Must try!
We arrived late and only for desserts. Old day ambience with a lively crowd. Food looked great. We chose creme brûlée and were very happy. Recommended for a fun night out.
I’m always on a mission for ‘the best steak’ in town. I’ve realized that maybe there isn’t ‘one’ best steak but lots. Also, steaks differ from place to place. Anyway Nelson’s Eye make a steak that competes with my other three favorites (Wombles, Grillhouse & Local Grill) The trick is to have all three toppings on it (also something I never do is have toppings), Butter, crispy onions and diced jalapeños on an aged 300g Rump is out of this world. I’ve had it a few times to confirm. It’s unreal, try it. Also their fillet on the bone is fab. Go for it.
Very unassuming place, but don’t let that fool you. The service was great , the food came out really fast and made to standard. This is not nouvelle cuisine but it’s just above good pub fair. Nothing to complain about and definitely had a good time. I would say a Cape Town hidden gem.
Such a hidden GEM!!!
The steaks were all cooked to perfection 💯
A bit overpriced in my option (otherwise it would be 5 stars)
I'd rate it one of the best steaks I've ever had in South Africa and Cape town hands down!
Service was pleasant.
Would definitely want to return buy because of the price range, not as often.
Great food, fantastic service (thank you Craig!!). ?Owner/manager (? Steve) needs to take a chill pill & actually help the staff instead of berate them in the middle of the restaurant in the thick of a busy service. Very poor form. We witnessed at least four separate staff members being “told off”. Of the one we did hear clearly was Steve telling the waiter not to refill water in the midst of such a busy time... yet he then never helped clear plates or re-set a table with waiting customers at the door. Made for a very awkward meal and created a very tense atmosphere. Would have rated 5 if not for Steve.
On my first day of traveling in Cape town, I asked one of my uber drivers what is the best steakhouse in Cape Town. He proudly introduced me this restaurant.
We went there with reservation. Everything went smooth and food was amazing. Also the staffs there were super friendly and attentive.
This will be the place I will recommend to my friends.
Try their Wagyu beef ribs!
The food was great and the staff was very friendly! Very appreciated that we did not have to wait for long for our food, even if there was around 150 people sitting on that day. There are some parking spaces in front of the restaurant guarded by someone.
PSA: trust me take the pork ribs, not the steak, you won't regret it.
Brilliant steak house for someone who has lived of good meats for a long time. Must try the Escargot and chicken livers for a good kick! Staff are super friendly too!
Great steak. We had the fillet on the bone and the rump 420g (definitely too much for one). The sides were a little disappointing. Spinach could have been more creamy and a more generous portion and the baked potato was a little small, plus the sour cream could have used some garnishing and/or fragrance. Starters were Burrata (lovely) and Kudu Carpaccio (lovely with Caperberries but could do with a little less grana padano on top). We paid R700 per person including a bottle of red wine and tip so would have expected a tad bit more for the budget.
Excellent steaks and excellent service. The staff was very friendly and gave us good recommendations.
Proper South African steakhouse. You’re going to pay a bit but the meat, service and “dark wood steakhouse” interior are a treat. Good wine selection goes well with a variety of cuts. I’ll be back
What a great gem of a place. I was completely unaware of them and found it with work colleagues through our steak club social.
This is a true steak house in the great traditional way. Proper food quality steaks. Lovely cuts to choose from. Their creamed spinach is awesome. They have a lovely option of condiments, chilly jalapenos, thinly crumbed and fried onions and yummy garlic mushrooms!
They are a bit pricey but well worth the effort. Their drinks are also not cheap. They charge R150 corkage per 750ml bottle wine and you can take 2 per 3 people.
We ran into the owner on the evening. Very nice to speak to him. He still believes in good customer service and even better food.
Will recommend them for sure and also go back for more.
Hidden Gem you must visit. My husband ate here six years ago and was impressed by the service, food and prices. It was at the top of his Cape Town to do list and did not disappoint. The restaurant is old school and part of the charm. Services are efficient And knowledgeable. The menu is quiet extensive and reasonable priced. The steak was delicious. Cooked perfectly. Highly recommend the fillet steak and grilled vegetables.
Definitely give this place a try over the other big chains, you won’t be disappointed

I hardly eat at meats places when I'm in Cape Town (prefers more seafood because you are by the sea), but the food at this restaurant is amazing, and we were all craving eating meats.
Why I think this place's food is great? My opinion only - I can never eat a whole 200g sirloin without getting bored of it, and this time, I order more than 300g because I was sharing with my son. I was able to finish 200g and still want more. I digged into the steak without taking a picture!!! It was so good, juicy, soft and cooked perfectly. I had a good piece with enough meats to fats. Their basting made it perfect. We also ordered roasted vegetables and crispy fried onions as sides and 2 sauces. My mushroom sauce was so flavourful (best one I had so far). Roasted vegetables aren't just your typical carrots, butternuts but cauliflowers, broccolis, and purple cabbage in olive oil with some spices.
The place is so busy (recommend to book prior) and it is a big restaurant with upstairs but the spaces inside are like a tight-space you see in a pub in the UK. You do pay about R200 or more for a steak with a starch on the side. We had friendly service, food didn't take too long (the restaurant was fully booked), and I really enjoyed eating there.
Really liked the food here. One tip: maybe next time don’t add the extra sauce on the grilled meat. Some clients might not like it. Friendly staff! Great sides, big variety of wines to choose from. Loved the menu. Thank you!
