Me and my partner have frequented meat and wine co at every location throughout Vic. South bank is so far the bottom ranking meat and wine co. When we booked I made a point of saying it was both of our birthdays and can we…please get a 2 seater in a more secluded area please. What we got was a 4 seater with what felt like a spotlight on the table. I complained and we got a 2 seater. So we kinda got off to a bad start… I got the $80ish dollar eye fillet. I couldn’t eat half of it because of the chewy fat contained in it. I told the waiter where upon I was questioned about the cut I bought. I was made to feel like I was lying about the steak even though half of it (or more) was still left chewed up on the plate. However after sparking up my testosterone and becoming more direct with the head waitress she agreed and didn’t add the steak to the final bill.
On another note I noticed that most for the waiters and waitresses were Chinese. Which isn’t very diverse considering diversity is our strength in Australia, or so we’re told.. however this is a South African restaurant so I would of preferred to see South African waiters and waitresses to keep it feeling authentic. I suspect this one is Chinese owned which would fit the feeling on the dinning floor.More
