With a friend visiting from LA a bunch of us decided to visit Wooloomooloo in LKF for some steak. The place was half full so we were given attentive service (actually a little too attentive). The waiter asked us for our drinks order and seemed to be really pushing their mineral and distilled water - even though a few of us just wanted plain old tap water. Although when we did ask for tap water they did serve it on ice. Service was quick and accurate with all of us getting our ordered steaks.
Food - The bread to start was nice and hot, soft inside - quite excellent. I had a seasoned rib-eye which was very tasty and just a little fat on it which was good. The medium cooking level was actually medium. My friends also ordered steak - a regular rib-eye, a sirloin and a couple of filet mignons. No complaints from the bunch so I would give the steaks two thumbs up. We also order some sides - mushroom, fries, onion rings, spinich and a shrimp cocktail. The shrimp was ok but not as firm and plump as I would have liked. I wished they served the cocktail sauce in a bigger container though as it was hard to dip the shrimp in - or they could have provided a small serving spoon to get at it. Of the rest of the sides, I liked the spinich the best, Nice and creamy texture and fresh tasting.
Deserts - We ordered some of the apple crumble, bread and butter pudding and gelato. Generally satisfied with all.
Drink - we just had a couple bottles of wine - nothing too out of the ordinary. We didn't try any of the other drinks on the menu so no comment.
Atmosphere - the place was pretty quiet with lots of space between tables so private conversations are possible. We did not feel rushed befitting a restaurant at this level of price.
Generally a very positive experience and we definitely recommed it again.
