Had passed by this steakhouse for times but never had a chance to visit. Picked this for a casual catch up with a friend. Interior and table distancing were satisfactory - with some American vibes indeed. 
Honestly it was a bit worrying as reviews on Openrice were mixed - particularly re quality of steak and services, which are crucial to my personal criteria of picking the right restaurant to go for. Nevertheless, might as well give it a try as a keen meat lover, coupled with its convenient location next to the office. 
Upon entry, reception was courteous with prompt assistance offered, stored my umbrella and handed me a chip (to redeem the umbrella). We were seated at a normal table for two. Ordered two central lunch courses and decided to try out their famous Dry-Aged Porterhouse Steak as there's little point ordering a pasta or sandwich at a steakhouse that by its name is famous for its steak. 
Simple bread was served, warm and soft - the bun tasted better than it looked, with a decent flavour of onion.

Followed by the salad of my choice, with grilled shrimp and bacon - bearing in mind the bacon isn't the Hong Kong type of bacon but a reasonably thick cut, which I appreciated. As a cheese lover, blue cheese was amazing.

The crab cake was fine - won't say it's not good but there are many other restaurants outside serving a similar one at a lower price. Perhaps some embellishments would do the trick?

Here it came the highlight of the meal - Dry-Aged Porterhouse Steak (400 gram) for two. Slight concern over the portion (as a meat lover) before it came but was proven redundant after the meal. Plater was sizzling when served - waiter gave a helpful introduction of the parts, also asked if we were okay with its temperature (we ordered medium rare; was served medium rare to medium, which we were happy with it). There were reviews commenting on the bad temperature but perhaps I was lucky on my visit.

Dessert concludes the meal - good to have but not astonishing. Most certainly would taste better if served colder, particularly after we just had a lot of meat.

Perhaps another decent venue to add to my list for special occasions, not too much for everyday casual dining though.
