Great night all round, was very happy with the food and service. Lovely place, I'd say best steak house in Christchurch. But the ribs and the beef carpaccio stole the show. A+ will save up for the next time I have a special occasion.

The food and service was great. My only Issue was with the burning of the garments on top of some of their meals. It was very smoky and for someone like my wife who has bad Asthma it made the inside dining experience very unpleasant for her at times.

We both decided to have steak. I had a ribeye & Ian had a marbled Angus ribeye. They were both really great. Fir me one of the best steaks I have ever had. We would definitely go back there again.

Great service with helpful and welcoming staff. Incredible steak and side dishes. Loved being able to have pre-dinner drinks at Tiger Baby (cool bar!) before going next door to Jaba for dinner. A great evening in a fab environment.

What a great evening. The food was just stunning. We each had a different meal and every meal was superbly cooked and presented. The black Angus beef rib was the best beef I’ve ever eaten. The service was informative, personal and yet not intrusive. Such a young team absolutely nailing it. Well done and thank you.

I went there because of their perfect 5.0 review rating from 444 reviews and it lived up to its rating (which I cynically expected it would not!)

Pleasant waiting staff who were friendly. They could have highlighted that the entree chosen was also part of the main. We felt we would’ve ordered a different entree had we known this. The ribeye steak cut was thin and so the requested M/Rare didn’t deliver, but was Medium instead. Decor was plain and lacking ambiance. Prices were what you would pay for a steak house, but the overall experience didn’t match that expectation.

Probably a weird comment, maybe slightly over attentive and lots of staff helped maybe 1/2 would have been better to build a better closer repor.
