“Good Steaks but pricey”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 6, 2013

Enjoyed dinner with my wife. Went to the one in Dist 7. The lake next to it adds to the atmosphere, the steaks are good but pricey. As some has mentioned it comes with nothing. So everything is added cost.

The owner or manager there was very friendly coming over twice to ask how our meal was and handed us the bill personally. The other service staff I would say barely make the mark, being in Vietnam they had a Filipino captain which looked Vietnamese, when asking him in Vietnamese if they had a table, he looked at us like we were stupid to ask him anything in Vietnamese.

Other than that it was a pleasant meal but only visits on special occasions due to the price tag.

“An oasis for excellent meat”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 5, 2013 via mobile

We enjoyed it very much. The steaks are beautiful, cooked to perfection, smooth, tender, tasty. The service is perfect. The sauce is delicious. Plates are served hot (careful, do NOT touch them). Very good bread is served. Extensive choice of wines and drinks. The bill is served with a shot of caramelised vodka. Although it is expensive, it is worth it as there is only good to say about them. Go!

“good, pricey, smokey”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 5, 2013

very expensive by saigon standards, but a really good meal (which nearly every meal is in saigon). negatives were hardly enough light to read the menu and annoying clouds of smoke every time someone goes out on the balcony to smoke (which is often). my daughter said it was the best chicken she'd ever eaten - so we went back again. my steak was really good, but not as good as those I had in 2 nearby restaurants, casa italia, and the dull looking grill restaurant right next to the duxton hotel on nguyen hue. on 2nd trip, we had beef ragout, which was exceptional. lamb chops were very good. caramel vodka to finish (free) was a very nice touch. go here for a very good meal.

“Excellent Food”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 3, 2013 via mobile

Excellent steaks. Wasn't too happy with the chimichurri, but everything else was delicious. It's very pricy, but well worth it if you are ready to splurge
