Butchers Grill goes beyond expectations...

My Boyfriend and I had dinner at your Bourke St restaurant on Friday, 19th Feb 10 and was soooooo pleased with food and fantastic service that I thought I would write in and share it with everyone.

We are very fussy with our steaks and cutlets and you didn't fail to please. My Lamb Cutlets and my boyfriends Yearling T-Bone Steak was AMAZING. I have to say they were one of the best cutlets I have ever tasted.

I have to admit, having not been to your restaurant before and just going off the name 'Butchers Grill' we were not expecting such a beautiful restaurant nor a fine dining experience so we were both very pleasantly surprised. Keep up the great food and excellent service. We have recommended your restaurant to everyone we know.
Thanks for a wonderful dining experience. - Amy.T
