A great place, really nice vibes. The drinks were well presented and looked boujee. Tasted refreshing. The steak was cooked really well and the salad and sauce was a nice addition, just a note the mash potatoe can be more softer and buttery. The Thai tea was very nice. Sedap giler. Overall it was a very top notch experience. If your looking for a very fair price for steak definetly come here!

If you're a steak lover visiting Melaka, this spot is an absolute gem. Hands down, one of the best steaks I've had—perfectly cooked, incredibly tender, and clearly made from top-quality meat. Every bite was melt-in-your-mouth good. The overall experience was fantastic, and I’ll definitely be coming back for more. Highly recommended for anyone looking to treat themselves to a memorable dining experience in Melaka!

We came at night on a weekend. Parking memang nightmare but understandable la sebab area ni memang selalu ramai. Food was really good and up to standard. I enjoyed the RM10 menu, usually susah nak jumpa pasta sedap harga macam tu, but this cafe served! I also ordered meatball with mashed potato, sedap gila as a snack. Meatball dia lembut, and gravy tak masin macam certain kedai lain. Drinks pun okay. We also ordered dessert, semua okay je cuma ice cream cepat cair sikit Also, thanks to the staff for giving us free Tiramisu cake! Overall I really enjoyed our dinner. Hopefully, next time boleh datang lagi to try the special menu macam steak pulak

The food came quite late but it’s understandable considering the amount of people that was there when i went. Service and atmosphere was top notch i’d say and the food was good for the price i paid. Would recommend for both western and malay food enthusiasts.
