We have been eating here for years and it just keeps getting better and better ! Emilio and his staff are always welcoming , set menu is the way to go so you can enjoy some awesome appetisers along with the best steak I've ever eaten and such yummy desert !! Well worth every cent !!
I have to say it would have to be one of Melbs best steak place, excellent service atmosphere, the owner and staff are so friendly, its a must for anybody who appreciates quality and the prices are reasonable
Very nice steak and establishment. I liked how the owner/chef would walk around to introduce himself and see how everyone was. My steak was cooked perfectly just was not as charcoal flavoured as i would have liked. The fat was not crispy but was certainly not off putting. Maybe a little bit overpriced and the selection of beers was minimal.
The staff are very welcoming and service was great. I had the eye fillet medium rare and enjoyed every bit of it. The peppercorn sauce is hot as it should be. Most of our table had the scotch filet cooked differently and they all enjoyed their meals. The wine selection was fantastic. I’ll definitely be returning.
Emilio is a bighearted fellow. The steaks and sashliks he makes are juicy, tender, and deliciously fills the belly. Susan, the waitress, is a polite, friendly and cheerful lady. The food is always spectacular, and arrives amazingly fast, yet does not lose a single bit in quality for speed.
My partner and I have always had an
amazing time there. The cheerful atmosphere Emilio and Susan bring, the food they create, all contribute to the 5+ star rating. Thanks so much guys for the awesome experience!
Great steakhouse, the wagyu steak is a must, perfectly cooked. Full of flavour. We had a mixed platter for entrees, everything was brilliant. The sausages are a great starter. Service was great, definitely coming back.
This is one of my favorite places to go for a steak when I don't want to gamble on a new place. Know exactly what you are going to get and it's great quality at a reasonable price. Definitely worth a try.

Where do I begin, Tonight was a special occasion as it was my dads birthday and after hearing so many good things about this hidden Gem I had suggested to come down and try it out for ourselves as Dad and the family wanted to have good quality Steaks.
Boy oh boy did we get what we came from, There isn't really any negatives about the food or the service, the only critique that I would suggest to the owner Emilio, would be that, the restaurant is a bit dim, it could do with the place being a touch more lit up. That just comes down to personal preference.
But overall, 10 out of 10! The staff from the moment we entered made myself and the gang all feel very welcomed service was absolutely fantastic, the waiters went above and beyond to make sure that we were all satisfied and I for one can vouch for that.
The food itself was absolutely mind blowing, everything was to perfection from the appetisers to the mains and so on. Flavour was well balanced on the steak seasoning was even and the list just goes on. Overall this is a place that I WOULD DEFINITELY considering going to on any night/day (they also do a lunch service), will be looking forward to my next sitting !!
Recommending to all family and friends. p.s. the front of house (waitresses) are so darn cute!
Love the set menu. Entrees, sides and desserts are all delicious. Oh and of course the meat as well! Have been back there multiple times for different cuts and sauces. Will be back again soon
Have been here a few times and always love it. It's my go to place when I need an awesome steak and they never disappoint. Menu is simple and the place is tiny but the meals are to die for, though very expensive (but the best steaks always are, right?).
What a fantastic place with great food and lovely people. Have been here several times and each time it's been outstanding. The Tiger Prawns and Chevaps are a must try.
Absolutely amazing meal. My husband and I visited last night, for the first time in 20 years for me to have a steak! My husband visits frequently and the owner/chef recognises him when we arrive, which is a nice touch. The staff are incredibly helpful, and also really lovely. Husband had the porterhouse which was as unreal as ever, and I had the eye fillet - on recommendation from the chef for my first steak in so long. It melted in my mouth and was the most delicious meal I have had in a while. The sides complimented it perfectly. The chef was kind enough to give me the mushroom sauce in case I was a little funny about the taste of meat but I didn't use the sauce as the steak's flavour shouldn't be covered up. Cannot wait to return!
Worth the wait post Covid, on a night celebrating myself and my partners birthday. Phenomenal service as always, Emilio's advise is always spot on with meat selection and cooking techniques. 10 stars.
Best steak house in Melbourne. Family run and owned, and it feels like your enjoying your meal just like your with family.
Had a booking for 18 people that was cancelled by another restaurant on the day due to covid.
I contacted Emilio to see if Ivanhoe Tavern would be able to cater for such a large group with only a few hours notice. Emilio was lovely to deal with and made it work under such short notice. We were served a set menu and everyone complimented the food and service. Thank you for a great evening and making it happen! We'll definitely be back.
The steak was amazing! Perfectly juicy, tender and melt in your mouth. The entree and the side salads were delicious as well. Service was outstanding from all the waiters, waitresses and the cook. Highly recommended!
Amazing as always!!! Took mum there for her birthday last week, first time back since covid and couldn’t fault it! Have been there quite a few times and not only is the food fantastic the service is always beautiful and super friendly! Lovely wait staff and chef Emilio is super friendly and makes you feel like a VIP all the time. Even gave mum a complimentary bottle of wine for her birthday. Would recommend to anyone looking for a great range or steaks (plenty to choose from) and yummy deserts! Thanks chef and team, look forward to coming again soon 🙌👌🏼🥩🍷
One of the best places for good stalls in Greater Melbourne. Quality and prepartion of the meat is excellent. Great choices for starters and desserts.
The staff and chef are really nice and friendly, giving a lot of attention to each patron.
Steak and lamb cooked to perfection. Sides were good too.
had a really rough week and stopped in for some comfort food. Staff from front of house to back of house were absolutely delightful. The ribs were positively devine, the salad too and also the chips. Highly recommend if you're looking for a hearty meal that you may need to be wheeled out after eating.
Instantly inviting and despite this being our first time here we felt like we had been going there for years. We left with full bellies, satisfied taste buds and the perfect night at the hands of wonderful waiters, chef and attentive owner/manager. As for the steaks.. A+
