Lovely local restaurant! Brought my whole family here and all our dishes were amazing. The atmosphere felt very classy, clean and not too noisy (no blasting music thank goodness!) The quality if the steak is good and the cook is also spot on. We also appreciated the range of sauces to go with the steak. Good spot for date night or just a family meal. We will be back!

Gorgeous venue, creating an intimate date night atmosphere. The service was fast and the cocktail delicious. Unfortunately the food was a little lacklustre in the flavour department. Cooked to perfection, but just needed more zing- particularly for the prawns and seared tuna. Our 600gram rib eye had a phenomenal smokiness.

We ate here just after becoming parents and the service was impeccable. The food was exquisite and so fairly priced for what you get. We sat close to the pass and were able to witness the craftsman's ship and even flow of the kitchen too. Highly recommend for a romantic dinner with your loved one.

Special call out to "Poorab" who went above and beyond in customer service. Very polite and hospitable dude. Will be surely coming back. One of the best steakhouses in Melbourne. Though being on the outskirts of Melbourne (in Berwick) this place is better than most of the popular steakhouses in the CBD. The ambience is really good and the service is exceptional. Being a Friday and busy did not deter the staff to provide an amazing service and were very quick to serve. Enjoyed the cocktails and they have a generous menu.

I recently hosted my friend’s birthday at A cut Above and Grill, and it turned out to be such a memorable experience! From the moment we arrived, the staff especially Sothea made us feel so welcome and went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. The food and drinks were amazing! The buffet had a wide variety of dishes to suit everyone’s tastes, and the service during dinner was exceptional — attentive without being intrusive. The staff made sure everything was topped up and that guests were happy throughout the night.
