Oh wow! Had the sirloin and it was amazing we ordered all the sides and they all were first class esp the pumpkin and tomato cheese salad. Even the bread served with Hight quality butter and gravy was amazing. Highly recommended! Service was amazing we had a scandi tatooed glasses wearing waitress who was exceptional in every way. I'm from Melbourne but really hope to get back one day. Great work Fatcow!

Equal best steak I’ve ever had, phenomenal wine list, and sensational service from Marina. Can’t recommend enough! Get a red wine from Bordeaux and the wagyu tasting platter to share between two, it’s heaven!

The entire experience was next level. We started with fresh oysters shucked straight from the tank unreal, so clean and silky. The certified Kobe beef genuinely melts in your mouth, nothing like anything I’ve ever tasted. The tasting board of steaks was cooked to perfection and honestly didn’t need any sauce. The potatoes are little crispy squares of goodness. Only slight change I’d suggest is serving the mac and cheese as the port & cheese sauce in a small, high-edge bowl with a thick crust on top. The staff were all lovely andq the service was exceptional. They also moved us without hesitation when they saw I was anxious, which honestly meant a lot.

Went here with my girlfriend for our anniversary. The atmosphere was so nice and the restaurant even gave prepared for us a little card congratulating us, as well as a complimentary desserts which was extremely thoughtful. We ordered the seared scallops, wagyu rump steak, their special chocolate aged wagyu sirloin, Fatcow potatoes and mushroom risotto, with their mushroom and peppercorn sauces. The seared scallops were had a very nice crust on them, and were very tender and had a great depth of flavour, especially with the purée and sauce. The potatoes were very crunchy and smelt amazing, and the paprika aioli went very well with it. The mushroom risotto was cooked perfectly with a great creamy texture, and had a great mushroom flavour. The stars of the shows were the steaks of course, and they were amazing. Seasoned perfectly, which a lot of restaurants often miss, with an amazing sear as well. The sirloin melted in your mouth and had a great dry age taste, and didn’t even need any sauce accompaniments to be honest. The rump, while less tender, was also extremely flavourful and cooked perfectly as well. The mushroom sauce really enhanced the steaks, although the peppercorn sauce did not have as deep a flavour. Overall though, the restaurant was super accomodating, and the food was amazing. Would definitely recommend for a special occasion.

Absolutely outstanding experience at Fatcow! From the moment we arrived, everything was exceptional. The food was incredibly delicious, beautifully presented, and full of flavour. The Kobe was exceptional, and the full-blood rib fillet was rich and packed with flavour. The service was warm, professional, and attentive, making us feel genuinely welcome throughout our visit. The atmosphere was stylish yet comfortable, creating the perfect setting for a relaxed and enjoyable meal. Every detail was spot on. Highly recommend Fatcow and we can’t wait to retun.
