For the best flavour and tenderness, we recommend ordering steaks no more than medium. Steaks cooked beyond this may become tough and dry, and we cannot take responsibility for such results. Kindly note that T Bone contain fat with sinew. Fish may contain bones. Please note that our meat is served according to raw weight and even though sizes may vary and more than one piece may be presented, the raw weight will be consistent.
