Lunch @ The Exchange Hotel, Port Melbourne, Vic, Aust

The Steak: 300g grain fed Scotch Fillet
Price: $31.90
Verdict: 4/5
Address: 39 Bay Street, Port Melbourne, Vic

Here's another gem of a hotel/pub serving excellent steak. When the steak was served and the first cut was made, my first impression was that I would be disappointed, as the steak does not look as 'juicy' as I would expect from a medium-rare. Nevertheless, I decided to give it a go and took a tentative bite, fully expecting it to be chewy and drier than what I'm used to. I was pleasantly surprised when I felt the 'juice' flowing freely around my mouth, and it didn't much effort to chew it up either. I then proceeded to finish up every last piece, including the buttery mash potatoes and brocolli, even the peppercorn! The slightly steeper price is somewhat expected, given the location of the hotel (1 street away from the beach, near the Spirit of Tasmania berth). 

I would have given this a rating of 5/5, since I've got this meal for FREE, but have to remain objective, in case I wanna return in future.
