Excellent food and service. We just loved the vibe of this place. B B King and classic blues music playing whilst eating the best meat and seafood in Samui. Highly recommended.

With everything the world has been through to maintain the quality these guys have done is a miracle. The steaks were cooked brilliantly but that’s down to the quality of the meat as much as their cooking. You pay for what you get and you...get quality here at a good price. The wine list is also extensive which compliments the food magnificently. Managed and run by English, American and Thai, it’s is a true international masterpiece. Thai food is lovely but when you have had enough try a steak here and feel well looked after. You will need to book as it’s popular. Great to see them back in the game after the struggles of Covid. Visit and enjoy the experience, it’s worth it I promise.More

Always make a point of going here when on Samui, food was great as usual (but you are paying for it) the manager seems to pick who he interacts with and also who he offers the end of meal drink to. Been here about 5...times over the years: would be nice to have some engagement once!More

Booked here after reading reviews on trip advisor and wasn’t disappointed, Booked via the online booking form had reply pretty much straight away. We both had the Australian ribeye, 1 with baked potato 1 with fries, , pepper sauce and blue cheese sauce, side of...onion ring s (enough to feed a family of 6) a side of macoroni cheese. The quality of the food was excellent and best ribeye we have had in years would highly recommend. As we were walking to the restaurant the smell was mouth watering. It was so good we booked to go again 2 days later, The staff were very friendly run by a lovely guy (West Ham fan) very welcoming Tara for a bitMore

My husband and I highly enjoyed our dinner! We started with a Australian Beef Fajita to share. It was more than a generous starter and delicious. Our main course was the Indonesian Barramundi and tenderloin steak served with side of coleslaw and garlic mash potato!...Everything we ate I would highly recommend and would definitely tell our friends about this place if they make it to the fisherman’s village! The owner was friendly and accommodating. Thanks for a lovely experience.More

bit over rated Very expensive and not the best . The emphasis is on large rather than taste and there are better places to go. My prawn cocktail was actually poor although the prawns were enormous - swimming in tabasco . Chips not home cooked.... Just a bit disappointing and no live music either . sorryMore

Coming to Thailand? Of course you’ll be eating Thia food but when steak and seafood sound good. Head for the Shake Bar and Grill. You won’t be disappointed. We went tonight and enjoyed the food. Service was great too! If we were not leaving tomorrow...we go back again. The steaks are amazing and cooked perfect. Recommend making a reservation! Can’t wait to go back.More

I wish we had eaten in here more as it’s amazing! From the hospitality to the food, it is a wonderful night out. You have to book, walk in’s are virtually impossible so book at least 24/48 hours before. It is definitely worth a visit....Thanks for a fab evening Toby!More

You have to visit this restaurant if you like steak & Seafood Recommended by a friend who dined here around 15 years ago, we struggled to get a reservation as it was so popular but on the night, we chanced our arm and the host...found us a table. My initial view was that I was going for fish but looking at the steaks on offer it had to be Surf & Turf. Whole Lobster, Rib eye steak cooked perfectly, prawns, Scallops Barramundi fillet and sides, a meal to die for. Our waiter dressed the lobster for me to get every bit of flesh from the shell and presented it beautifully on my plate. This truly was the best meal I have ever eaten in my 59 years on this earth washed down with a Bottle of NZ Sav Blanc The bill reflected the high quality of the produce but was worth every penny Thanks guysMore
