Had a riper time here. Big thanks to the staff who were very accomplished and professional with their service. I would recommend the tenderloin steak cooked medium to medium rare, pure perfection �
Excellent meat. Melts in your mouth. I had the Sher F1 wagyu porterhouse with a marbling score of 9+. I was in steak heaven.
Can’t fault the service, can’t fault the quality of the steak or the chips or the mash or the drinks. Absolutely impeccable and a hidden gem. Definitely recommend, particularly for couples as the atmosphere is intimate and lighting dull
We had a pleasant dining experience at Steer for Valentine’s Day. The service was exceptional and the staff were very attentive to our needs. I really appreciated their presentation of the different quality of cuts. It was very informative considering it was my first premium steak experience. The steaks were exceptionally moist, tender and seasoned. We both got the 300g F1 Wagyu Scotch Fillet with mushroom sauce. We had complementary starters - the butter spread and tuna crackers. We really enjoyed them both. The onion rings were pretty standard and the mash was super soft. Be cautious of the mustard selection as some had a bit of a kick to it. Surprisingly the steaks alone had filled us up. We will definitely be going back to Steer!
We were here to celebrate a special occasion and it definitely had the ambience for it. The staff were nice- not as attentive as they could have been, but decent service overall. We ordered the tasting menu and enjoyed it. Will be looking to come back and try the steaks that have been highly recommended by other people who have dined here before
Steer has been one of our fave restaurants to have a nice and romantic night out! The meat they serve is always great quality, and the service is good as well! So if you are looking to take someone out for a good steak, this is a top choice!
We also really enjoyed the cheese board that they served!

Steer Dining Room. Having visited before for my birthday, I definitely wanted to take Mr D for his birthday because he’s a massive steak fan. I made sure to make a reservation in advance because it does get super busy. Walking in, you’re greeted by friendly staff surrounded by a great ambiance. We were seated in the corner and BAM the staff will bring around the steak board where they show you the different types of steaks with various levels of marbling that you can choose for the night.
We went for a date night on Friday. The service was extremely good. I was surprised that they bring real steak cut to explain to us the menu. We ordered a salmon aburi as entree. We both liked it. We ordered a porterhouse full blood and a scotch filler dry aged. Both are super amazing! We also had a fried broccoli as side. All these filled us up. Really liked the place!
We ate at Steer Dining Room to celebrate 6 months together and we were hyped up for it from the moment we booked until the moment the steaks entered our mouths!
Now rewind to the beginning of the night. Immediately we were greeted by a friendly hostess who kindly showed us to our table. The ambience is very intimate and romantic, facilitated by the dim lighting. We ordered our drinks before another waiter came along with a board covered in different cuts of meat. He proceeded to explain each cut, their origins and marble score, while giving recommendations. We found this super helpful when it came to finally ordering our mains.
We decided to order à la carte, as we were mainly keen for their wagyu steak which we'd heard was arguable the best in Melbourne.
We ordered:
4 x Oysters (pickled nashi pear, black pepper) for our entrée
1 x Sher 1 Wagyu Scotch Fillet 8
1 x Cohuna F1 Wagyu Scotch Fillet 9 (not on the physical menu but shown to us on the meat board)
Pepper Sauce and Mushroom Sauce
1 x Hand Cut Steak Chips to share
1 x Taro Parfait, Maple Comb, Sweet Potato Ice Cream
1 x Condensed Milk Custard, Matcha Granita, Black Sugar Ice Cream
The sourdough starter itself was great, and we enjoyed our oysters with some cocktails which were deliciously made. We also ordered some wine to enjoy with our steaks.
The oysters were very palatable, even to my boyfriend who was having oysters for the first time. The steaks were cooked exactly how we asked (medium well) and were so tender that they melted in our mouths. I enjoyed and savoured every bite, but dreaded that every bite meant the experience was coming to an end. The wagyu was complemented well by the sauces and the hand cut chips tasted perfectly home-y.
Onto the desserts, the condensed milk custard was perfect and paired well with the matcha granita and ice cream. It made for a good palate cleanser after our main dishes. As for the taro parfait- it was rock solid and impossible to get into. Paired with the maple comb, it was a difficult dessert to chew through.
As our night was coming to an end, we asked our lovely waiter to take photo for us, and he kindly obliged while asking us what the occasion was. He later came back with complimentary meringue cookies on a plate decorated with 'Happy Anniversary'. What great service! And shows how far the Steer Dining Room goes to create a memorable experience for its customers.
In the end, it was a perfect date night, from the food which was heavenly, to the lovely cocktails and wine, and to the wonderful the service. Steer Dining Room is definitely on my visit-again list.
On that day the weather in Melbourne wasn’t too friendly. It was windy, cold and raining in the morning. TGIF, so much better despite the crappy weather. Guess what? Our day turned to be so fascinating cause we received the last minute notification that we won on a raffle dinner run by @forksake for a 6-course ‘secondary cuts’ Diamonds dining.
Yay: Smoked tongue, rhubarb, celeriac remoulade; Seared Rost Biff, mustard emulsion, shallot paired; Ox tail, khoralbi, Brisket, broccolini, white pepper caramel sauce; consomme; Dark chocolate slice, choc aero, beef fat caramel ice cream
Nay: too much beef fat on the meat (Tri Tip, cauliflower, brioche crumb paired)

This is based on my experience in June 2019. the new winter menu had a clear asian interpretation - we wished that the duck and lamb remained on the menu, but since they no longer featured, we stuck to two classic porterhouses (Wagyu) 300g which cost $99 each.
The porterhouses were tender and delicious. I thought the Tasmanian wasabi sauce could be a bit salty so try to go easy on the sauce so that the sauce doesn’t overwhelm the good steak. The marbling of 7 meant that the pork wasn’t too fatty. As I ate my steak, I kept thinking “mmm this is good, but it ain’t the delmonico.”
the sides were stellar, especially the roasted Brussels sprouts with crispy pork. We couldn’t get enough of the crunch and slightly charred taste of the Brussels sprouts, alongside the flavourful crispy pork. The steak cut chips was crispy but personally I prefer shoestring and thinner fries.
we ended the meal on a high thanks to the complimentary passion fruit tart. The biscuit base was just perfection. Service was equally amazing in the restaurant - the staff were accommodating and attentive throughout our time there. There was even a small seat for my handbag which was thoughtful and a nice touch.
All in all, the dim restaurant lighting affects how the pictures turned out, but rest assured, the meal was amazing. I do miss the delmonico though - can steer please bring it back to the menu?
Fantastic dining experience.
You couldn’t fault the service and the decor was beautiful. A highlight was the way they delivered the raw steaks to the table to help you decide which cut to get
Onion rings were amazing and the steak was cooked to perfection
Great service and great food. The staff was very nice and the food was delicious. Our waitress went extra mile to cater our needs and explained everything in detail. I would definitely go back. We dined here for our anniversary night and it was totally worth it. Thanks everyone who made it an unforgettable night for us!
Great place for a fine dining steak experience. Very creative entree dishes to tease your appetite, try to share a few to taste more options. Wide range of steak selections to choose from and some large portions for sharing is surprisingly tasty.
Great experience, staffs were very attentive. Had the degustation meal experience which I may take 1 star out for the steak because we ordered medium rare but the main meat was a bit too rare. Overall it was one of the best experience I ever had.
Firstly I must say the quality of cuts they offer here are beyond amazing. I tried sher full blood wagyu scotch fillet and grain fed black Angus porterhouse. The meats were super juicy tender and fatty. Few bites they were amazing but towards the end they got a bit too fatty
And extra pepper sauce couldn’t help. -pepper sauce was more starchy then I expected too.
But overall a very pleasant experience :)
This is our favourite steak restaurant in Melbourne! The service is phenomenal and the food never disappoints. You can tell the chefs are passionate and experiment regularly with petit fours and hors d'oeuvres, and every time we go there are new cuts and suppliers on the menu to choose from. This is a must-try for any wagyu-lovers. The desserts are works of art and the interesting blends of flavours and ingredients make you want to try them all before they change.
Beautiful evening at Steer for our anniversary. We have been before and it was even better than the first time! We both got the Stone FB Wagyu tenderloin and it was possibly the best steak I’ve ever had! (And we are self proclaimed steak connoisseur haha!) Staff are always wonderful & the ambience is the best. Will think about this meal for a long time!
Fabulous food and service. The most wonderful dining experience of my 2021!
Here are what we ordered;
Snacks: Appellation oyster, Puffed tendon, Chicken liver parfait, Steak tartare
Entree: Fremantle octopus, Snapper crudo,
Mayura kushiyaki
Steak : 2GR FB porterhouse, Sher FB scotch fillet, Mayura oyster blade
Dessert: Peach & honey yoghurt, Cherries parfait bombe
We visited in early Dec 2021, thus some of the menu may no longer be available.
Every dish was faultless and the customer service is impeccable. Been coming here since it first opened approx 12 years ago (I think management has changed since then) and I still rate it as one of the best restaurants in the area.
