Squires Loft

Great service. Nice and roomy. Entree was amazing but little expensive for what it was and nothing was served on the side so all you were eating was cheese. The chips were not seasoned at all but cooked to perfection. The steak was cooked to perfection and melted in my mouth, seasoned to perfection. The mushroom sauce was amazing, full of flavour. The mains need to be served with a small salad or veggies. It is on the pricey side but would go back again for a special occasion.

First time customers, took some old friends who love eating out, they have literally travelled the world 🌎 eating at restaurants. They had a great experience, the staff were very attentive, the food served in good time, it was cooked well, and delicious. We are told there are new owners, took the reins less than a month ago, we will be back!

David the new manager was fantastic. We have eaten at 5 different Squires in Melbourne. Each one offering a different experience. This place is new , very vibrant with a good wine list and great bath rooms. Bread, entres were great. My steak was also great , as expected since they are billed as the "Steak Specialists " but my wife's (well done ) was burnt on the sides. David was fantastic on taking our feedback, my wife's meal was complementary, and taking the time to find out what our expectations were of this steak establishment . We will definitely give them another go...

This was our first time to Squires Loft Camberwell and we were delighted with the experience. Lay, Jim and John were all fantastic and its was so lovely to be treated so well by the team. The restaurant has a really warm and friendly atmosphere. The food was great as well and we loved everything we ordered. The serving sizes were very good as well (almost a little too much as we couldn't finish everything).

It had a different menu to SqL 1 Queens Rd melb. Menu was more diverse and had burgers etc. There were 9 of us. Steaks seemed to be more expensive so I had the burger instead. It was very good and better value than the steaks. All meals were good and entrees also. Extensive wine list. Beers were all bottles. No beer taps. Not a big range but most of the common ones. Service started slowly but improved later. Probably just lack of staff in these times. Overall a bit disappointing re steak prices, but maybe that is the way in these times.

I have tried the steak twice at this place. First time it was not satisfying so we gave it another try a year later. Honestly I think they are overrated. Their steak on sizzling plate was not tender and not favourable. The baked potato as a standard side was just a cooked potato wrapped with tint folio without sauce or ganish. The onion ring is too oily. The overall food quality was really average.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. We had previously attended and had a bad experience, but wanted to give it another chance. Unfortunately, they proved worse than the first time. Tonight was just me and my partner. He ordered a steak (medium) and I requested two entre dishes to be served as my main along with my partners steak. After 10-15 minutes my two entrees arrived. I waited for a few minutes hoping that my partners steak would arrive. In the meantime, my saganaki was cold and not cooked enough and was disappointed that my prawn 'kebab' was only 5 small prawns on barley any lettuce. 20 minutes later, I had finished what I could eat of my food and my partners food still hadn't arrived. When they came to collect my dishes I asked them how much longer until my partners steak would arrive as I had now finished my dinner and he didn't even start. We were advised 4-5 more minutes, but waited at least another 10 before it arrived (around 30 minutes after I had received my food). It was overcooked to well-done, not medium. We advised of our upset and they did offer us a desert, but we declined. After we declined the desert it felt like we were being intentionally ignored by all staff and who was clearly the owner. When we came to pay we weren't expecting to be refunded for anything but were unhappy and disappointed when no apology. Worse so when they were clearly hoping we didn't kick up a fuss when paying and charged us full and sent us on our way. We HIGHLY recommend Squires Loft in SOUTH YARRA - they are without fail the best Squires loft every time we attend and will always travel for their quality food and service. Would also recommend the Cheltenham restaurant which recently opened as they have been much more pleasant. Doubt we will even have a response to this review, as it looks like the restaurant prefers to only respond to 'positive' feedback. Confident in word of mouth, we do not and will never recommend this place.
