We were shouted at Squires Loft for our birthday dinner tonight and whilst the service was not particularly attentive and the tables squashed a little too close together there’s really no denying they do an exceptional steak.
I went for the black Angus eye fillet which was cooked rare to perfection and was really a flawless cut of meat. I got the creamy garlic sauce but preferred my husbands mushroom, it almost doesn’t need a sauce as the basting has sufficient flavour.
The chips were yummy dunked into the sauce though and the warm bread served at the beginning of the meal was a nice way to start. We really didn’t need dessert given we were so full but it certainly tempted
Hands down best steak, we travel over an hour just to come and have a meal here. Great service, Ryan the front of house/Manager is a great bloke who makes you feel just like your at home.
My sister and I took my dad here last night as a gift. He said it was the best steak he had ever had. It was cooked to perfection. The mushroom sauce, jalapeno sauce and pepper sauce were exceptional. The sauce with the breast of chicken and prawns not so much. When you order a steak meal you get the choice of a baked potato, salad or chips, my advice would be, allow a small salad to accompany the chips or baked potato. My sister was told no when she asked, the waitress didn't even ask "we can give you both but it will be an extra $ for the salad, a little disappointed. Overall a very nice experience. Thank you!
My partner and I enjoyed a steak dinner here not too long ago. Customer service was exceptional as our waitress was very attentive and accommodating. We had the Baked Mushroom & Feta with garlic butter for our entree- it was deliciously juicy and flavoursome. We ordered the Eye Fillet and Scotch- both medium rare. The Eye Fillet was cooked perfectly and very tender; however, my Scotch steak was a bit too undercooked as it was quite tough and chewy in comparison.
So many steaks to choose from in this Melbourne classic. You can visit just about any of the Squire’s Loft locations in Melbourne and not be disappointed, Albert Park is no different. Eye fillet is always my go-to, and their black angus 300g fillet is worth every dollar and always cooked to perfection. Usually quite a business crowd in this particular one given the location but it’s definitely a spot for everyone! Get there for a reliable steak and a nice red to match.
Was taken here for a impromptu birthday dinner- decor was lovely and the waitress was very friendly. I am a BIG steak fan and am always happy with the selection of cuts you get a Squires. Entree we shared the garlic mushrooms with baked feta. As always, it’s a favourite (even though I’m dairy intolerant and had to pick off the cheese... ok, I still ate some feta. It’s so good baked and with that flavour of garlic). I digress- we both ordered eye fillets for mains. I ordered mine blue with the prawns and the garlic sauce. Steak was cooked perfectly and was so delicious. The boy also said that he was happy with his. Definitely recommend for a great steak. Can’t beat their eye fillet!

I've eaten at every squires loft in Melbourne and Albert park is my favourite by far! Steak always cooked to perfection and everything is 5 stars from start to Finnish! My favourite steak house ever!
Squires loft franchise always delivers a good sized, tasty meal, it's just a let down that they cannot replicate the atmosphere in each venue, the city centre one feels like you are surrounded by factories and there is nothing to feel "cosy" about.
A good big portion of food and very warm inside during the Mel winter night. I've ordered a pink moscato and that made me a night to remember.
Very well cooked steak with an excellent sauce. The whole place has a nice feel to it, very good for intimate dinners with friends and family. Staff was friendly and helpful. Had a very wonderful time.
I wouldn't usually eat in a place like this as it's quite expensive but on this occasion, my company picked up the tab. I had the rump steak with black pepper sauce and a baked potato with sour cream. I have to say that this was probably one of the best steaks I've ever had. Colleagues of mine had chips and had generous portions to boot. Service was top notch too and the place was packed even on a Tuesday lunchtime, which says a lot. Beers were pretty reasonable at $10 a pint. So if you're feeling flush and are after a good steak then you won't go wrong eating here. I'd have rated higher but I think it's a little overpriced for what you get on the plate.
I am usually very picky with my steak, it has be perfectly done and presented well.
However, the dish does not look as Instagram friendly as I would thought.
Also, the tenderloin in the steak makes it hard to cut through it.
Absolutely loved this place. The meal was so good that even though there is just one vegetarian dish, I can't wait to be back and eat the same thing again! Very friendly staff. We were the last ones to leave the restaurant but there was no rush and everyone was very relaxed! For steak lovers, definitely a must visit!
The best steak and ribs I have ever had! Deliciously tender and so juicy.
Squires Loft is a must for all meat lovers! I have been many times and have never been disappointed. The staff are amazing and the food is to die for, a must go for everyone!
I will keep going back!
Eye fillet medium rare is cooked into perfection with mushroom sauce. I love the pork ribs as well! However the service sometime can be really bad (with inexperienced waitress) but sometime can be really good! So really, it depends. I think the trainee ones shall wear a badge stated "trainee" so we as a customer know what to expect.
I get the eye fillet 300g medium with chips, black pepper sauce, onion rings and the feta mushrooms!
This place is unreal never disappoints!
Recommend trying the mushrooms 👌
Definitely one of my favorites for steak. The eye fillet was tender, juicy & cooked to perfection. The mushroom sauce was to die for. Great selection of wines. The staff were super accommodating to taking a pram with us. Busy Thursday night. Loved it. Highly recommend.
Went to this Squires Loft (I usually go to Essendon) after picking up a well valued Scoopon voucher for $80 where we could spend up to $180! My partner and I ordered the dips, two glasses of Malbec, two steaks with potato and fries and two sides of veggies and Greek salad. All up we spent $176 which was perfect. The food was absolutely fantastic and came out within a good time frame. My steak was a tiny bit over cooked but that's really picking at a great meal. Loved the grilled veggies and the generous fetta serving on the salad! Exceptional service by all staff too.
HIGH COURT OF CONSUMPTION
BETTY COCKER CJ
SUMMARY JUDGMENT
1. The COCKER loves a good fat piece of chunky meat. And she also loves steaks. Is Squire's Loft the best place to get them? Perhaps not, but it's not too bad, either. Speaking chunk... the Judge needs to get herself some tissues.
2. Pink red meat. She loves it. Look, you won't go wrong here for steak, really. Unless you're one of those pretentious Gordon Ramsay types. What a babe, though.
Been here a while ago, went with a group of 4 . My husband love the grill stuffed mushrooms. Can't really finished the whole dish by myself but I am quite satisfied with my steak. Nice surrounding and deco .
Unassuming great steak. Love the fact every time you come and order the always nail it. It may seem a bit formulaic, however you can't complain about good quality steak cooked well;)
Love it! The pork spare ribs to die for...200gram eye fillet has a fantastic flavour. Staff can be a little more attentive but the food makes up for that. If you love meat this one is worth a try I think you will be impressed.
Fabulous. Great food and atmosphere. Attentive staff who know their menu/wine selection etc. Will be heading back there again for perfectly cooked steak and ribs.
Nice steaks. Cooked perfectly to order. Good service. Janet & front if house gentleman were very friendly and efficient. Enjoyed our meals a very pleasant experience. Will return.
The steak is always amazing. A regular customer here. Never a bad steak and the sauces are to die for . I recommend this to everyone!
LOVE IT!. I have been here over a dozen times and I have never been disappointed. I always get rare eye fillet with garlic sauce, it is to die for!
I also love the chocolate milkshake, different to any other that I have tried before.
The entrees are amazing, camembert cheese, ribs, mushrooms!!
Best ribs in town. Staff appropriate for environment. Troy always helpful. Great for a business lunch be it fast and furious or long and boozey.
Great flavoured steaks. A consistent restaurant that specialises in Steak and Ribs. Consistently good steaks and the services is reliable.
A little pricey, but good for an occasional splurge.
THE BEST IN MELBOURNE !!!. Been a satisfied customer for years, always recieved great hospitality. The foods always been 110%. My fav is the ribs, reef and beef with garlic sauce, and if there's room at the end you have to try the chocolate pudding cake !!!
Great food. Bit overpriced for what you get. But other than it is a great place for dinner.
Had the ribs and the baked mushrooms with garlic butter and fetta for entree, and wanted to order the same stuff for the main.
Absolutely delish!
Angus rib eye for the main was cooked a perfect medium rare.
And their sticky date was good as well.
If the menu was cheaper, I'd probably eat here weekly!
All rounder. Very good venue for the all rounder type events, anything from a quiet dinner to a business meeting or after work drinks.
Food is great and steaks cooked to perfection. Service is great, furthermore along list of food selection to choose from
Highly recommended.
Had a really tasty steak, service was bit slow but had a great time.
Best Streaks in Melbourne. If you want a good Steak then you need to go to this place. Waiting time can be a little long at times but its definitely worth the wait. Even their entrees are sooo yummy. They have the best BBQ ribs.. they just melt in your mouth. Oh and the spicy sausage is amazing! All round. 9.5 out of 10!
It must be good. I seen Buddy Franklin and the Hawthorn boys there :-)
Had Pork ribs with chips and garlic sauce. The ribs were amazing, some of the best I have had in Melbourne. Garlic sauce is sooo good. Prices are more reasonable than other steakhouses such as Meat & Wine Co. Will be returning soon!!
The ribs are the best. Do not miss these. They are great! Had lunch a couple of days ago and enjoyed myself.
Rumpa Dumpa!. Always a great meal. Steak was a bit tough - bit like the waitress. But I always seem to leave very fulfilled. Had a medium rare scotch filet with a spud and mushroom sauce. A bit naked but delicious!

Never fails to impress me. If you have never been to a Squire's Loft before then you are trully lacking something in your life. My first experience was many years ago at the Toorak Rd venue, followed by StKilda (now gone), the CBD venue &now the City Rd restaurant is my favourite. Never in all this time have I had anything close to a negative experience & the food is ALWAYS wonderful.
The staff are continually flowing through the restaurant; fetching your food & drinks, stopping for a brief chat when it's not too busy (rare) and always doing something.
In the kitchen it always seems like the staff are working in overdrive as meals keep flying out of there non-stop.
After mowing through the menu a few times over I can highly suggest EVERYTHING that they do. My meal hasn't changed in a couple of years - 400gm rump steak (I like the fat), rare, baked potato and a peppercorn sauce.
Be sure to have a look at their very well chosen wine list. Cocktails are a bit lacking but you don't really go to a steak place for cocktails do you?
Now I'm hungry & might just have to make a reservation.
Great place, friendly and efficient service. The staff- our waiter for the night was Alexa, who greeted us at the door and took care of us for 2.5 hrs. The food was just perfect: all 10 steaks ordered came at the same time and were perfectly done as requested. Hat off for being so efficient and providing great steaks with a good atmosphere.
Awesome ribs, prawns and dip. Really good boerewors. Great fast service for a Saturday night!
Meaty goodness. I recently went to Squires Loft off St Kilda Rd for dinner with a group of friends. The staff were welcoming and always nearby to attend to our needs. The meat was grilled perfectly to each of our requests and was very juicy. I had the ribs which were just beautiful. The meat slid off the bone easily and the portion was large. The quality of the meals at Squires Loft definitely justify their price. I look forward to returning here soon.
Honest tasty ribs. .
Pro's:
- Very satisfying ribs - not too much sauce, just the right amount of rub.
- Just about every cut of meat under the sun, and they know what you mean when you want it cooked medium/rare/well done etc...
- Can accommodate large groups so good for work parties.
Con's:
- Noisy, no sound dampening.
- Car parking can be at a premium as the underground car parking closes early.
- Mains don't come with much in the way of side dishes - you have to order those separate if you want them.
Squires loft has in my opinion discovered the secret to creating the perfect steak. I ordered the 300 gm eye fillet medium rare and it was cooked brilliantly. The presentation was immaculate, the serving of sides was generous and the overall service from all the staff was 10/10. For a steak one and a half inches thick to be able to be cut in one downward slice of a steakknife speaks volumes about how succulent and tender the quality of beef is that squires loft uses. My partner had the wagyu beef burger to which any other burger I have ever had pales in comparison. Squires loft gets a 10/10 in every department and for anyone looking for a great steak with a good atmosphere, you need not look anywhere else.
Not bad for Vegetarians!. I had the veggie platter (2 kebabs and a gorgeously cooked potato) but will be back for the cheezy things... baked brie and mushroom/feta thing... Good options for meatlovers too, of course, but don't leave your Vego friends at home!
The WAGYU beef burger, enough said!
The wagyu beef burger, enough said. Be prepared to wait for your food, but it's fantastic and worth every minute and cent.
Perfection Every Time!. I highly recommend getting the ribs as a starter. We ordered these, then about 2 minutes later they arrived at our table. I'm not too sure how they cook them but they just fall off the bone and melt so easily in your mouth!
Burgers, steaks, everything is always cooked to perfection.

Formerly known as The Grill Room, the Squires Loft Steakhouses are synonmyous with excellent quality produce and mouth watering meats. Looking around the place it seemed like a bit of boys club; not too many women around apart from the service. However, t
Where would you go if you were a man for your birthday? A steak house of course! (unless you are vegetarian.... or don't like steak I guess...) The first time we went to The Grill Room was for my boss' birthday 2 years ago, and we have been raving about i
Squires Loft get the steaks right every time. The pork ribs are sensational too. There a great bar and wine selection available. There a decent selection of sides to go with the meals. Always a safe bet for a good meal out.
First of all, big shout out to all the staff that served us on 18 Dec. The place was almost full at dinner time and there were only like 4-5 floor staff. Despite running around from table to table, they were all very friendly and helpful all night (we were there for at least 3 hours).
Food were good, slightly pricey, and despite being a steak place, we quite enjoyed their prawn dish haha
Got to be one of the best steaks i've ever had. Rib eye 300g done rare, perfectly cooked and what a cut. Didn't really need the knife. Really attentive service and clean and comfortable surrounds. Unbeatable for the price.
Best steak I have ever had!! The food is delicious. I definitely recommend the mushroom and feta entrée and the rib eye steak with blue cheese sauce. The staff are also very welcoming and friendly. You have to visit this place!!
Our family's favourite restaurant. Food is good and the service. We always have our special occasion in Squire's Loft just like tonight. Celebrating 88th birthday.
What a great experience.
The food was outstanding absolutely fantastic the Dry Aged Ribeye steak was one of the best I have had. The service was fantastic, I tip my hat to the young Brazilian waitress as she guided us through the menu and was spot on with her suggestions an absolute asset to the restaurant.
just a really fantastic meal and the best service I have received in a long time. I was with 2 other blokes and we all were extremely impressed with both service and food.
Thanks guy's
This is one of my absolute favourite restaurants. The food was first class. The dining room had a delightful ambience. The service was friendly. I ordered from the Specials menu and I wasn't disappointed. We were dining with both a young child and an elderly person in a wheelchair. The staff were very accommodating and helpful.
