Thanks to a Groupon voucher, hubby and I had the opportunity to try out this beef buffet at a half of its actual cost. This beef ala-carte buffet serves up five different types of beef – Wagyu, Prime Rib, Ribeye, T-bone steak as well as stewed beef cheek. The steak is cooked to your preferred doneness and served up with three sauces and a small variety of side dishes. Sauces available are red wine sauce, mushroom sauce and creamy blue cheese sauce. Side dishes available are creamed spinach, mashed potatoes, sauteed mushrooms, Barossa salad as well as roasted tomatoes.

Hubby and I enjoyed the steaks – they were done nicely and to the degree of doneness (medium) we requested for. I’ve had bad experiences with places that overcook the steaks and it is nice to find a place that does not. I enjoyed the ribeye steak while hubby preferred the wagyu and T-bone. We both agreed that the beef cheek was stewed perfectly – tender and chock full of flavour.

All the sauces complemented the beef very well; there is something for everyone. For side dishes, I enjoyed the creamed spinach (though not the clump of baked cheese on top), the mash potatoes and the mushrooms. The other two side dishes were rather forgettable.

I would recommend this buffet for serious beef lovers with a large appetite.  I could hardly finish the second round of steak, though my hubby managed three rounds. If you are a small eater like me, this may not be worth your money especially at the full buffet price, $43.90++. Service wise, the branch at Holland Village has a huge room for improvement. Despite a reservation, I had to wait at the entrance of the restaurant for more than 10 minutes, carrying a baby, while waitresses walked up to the counter to collect things but totally ignored me!
