this is a huge restaurant, which concerned me a bit initially, but somehow they are able to provide very high quality service and the end result is very good. Had a T-Bone stake which was prepared perfectly. Meat itself was of very good quality (had better, but very good indeed).

Went with a friend to the Grill and was very impressed. Steak was cooked to perfection (Rare & M.Rare respectively). They've got a very wide wine selection, most on the pricey side though. Service was very good. Will definitely go there again.

One of the best steaks I have ever had was from this place! You can order off the menu or go and select your own cut from the butcher and then have it cooked exactly how you like. Not being a wine drinker it does not appeal to me for that but colleagues loved it and you can even go... More

Best well aged meat on the planet, great wine list with good service. You get your steak done just they way you asked for it, provided you do not ask for well done (they probably would decline to do that).

After spending the afternoon at the wonderful 28A On Oxford in Sandhurst, we jumped into a cab and headed over to Sandton City, specifically Nelson Mandela Square, to look for somewhere nice for dinner. There are lots of restaurants and bars to choose from, but after walking around a bit, we decided on The Butcher Shop & Grill. After all,... More

Hadnt been to Butcher Shop for a while. Still a great setting and fabulous steaks.Great for business meetings,especially our private seating area. For the rest I agree with one of previous reviewers. Focus of the waiter was to try and push as many bottles of wine,mastering the knack of waiting for you to look away and then to rush in... More

This is meat eaters heaven! The seating areas are beautifully furnished and softly lit. You won't want to leave and will linger long after dinner. The food and service was excellent and the wine list was great. We met the chef that night and have fond memories forever.
