jervois steak house

in my opinion the best steak restaurant in auckland. the steak is always perfectly cooked. but what beats that are the accompaniments... ask the waiter to recommend the right sauce, sides and wine to match... you will not be disappointed. the staffs knowledge of wine and food is top notch.

came here for my birthday with my boyfriend and the food was amazing! we both had the eye fillet with a various amount of sides! it was amazing! i also had a the peach caprioska cocktail, it was so nice!

if it's steak you want then this is the place to go... excellent service with excellent quality of food..... yum... very fancy and expensive but worth it when you have a craving for protein!

this place is a very good choice for romantic dinner. look at their ambiance..
mouth watering steak with red wine are the best combination all the time.. service are excellent! we really enjoyed are time here. highly recommended!

this place, hands down, has provided the best steak i have had (just as well with these prices).  definitely on the upscale side.  i'm also not one to drink alcohol but next time i intend on ordering the wine to refresh the pallet, that way make every bite worth it.  did spend about $210.00 here for two of us. 

the food 

bone marrow (3/5) - this one melts in your mouth.  my rating for this dish is only because i was bitter about one solid part in one of my bones.  it is normal for the fibers to join and harden.   i probably wouldn't get this dish again but it is definitely worth a try. 

baked candied kumara, pecans (5/5) - this dish was perfect!!! warning, it is extremely hot at first so be careful. the texture and taste goes perfectly with steak.  

jsh creamed spinach (5/5) -  cannot fault this dish one bit.  compliments the whipped potato.

whipped potato puree (5/5) - this side you cannot go without, unless you are allergic to potato.  

onion rings (2/5) - hmmmm i'm not weather it was that the onion rings bad or that the other dishes were so good that this dish was worthless in comparison.  either way i prob wont order this one again.  

sirloin 9+ firstlight new zealand (7/5) - first time i rated a dish this highly, it melts in your mouth, flavorful... organism for the taste buds. 

king cut (6/5) - i ordered this 24 hours prior to booking (as stated on site), and i have to say another perfect cut. it'll be hard to taste another steak and be satisfied again.  

the environment (4/5) 
i liked the acoustics of the room, despite how close tables are, allowed for easy conversation.  the lighting was great.  the place is a little upscale so me in a hoodie and shorts might not have been appropriate (i'm rebellious like that). all in all like the environment.  

the service (5/5)  
our waiter was on point.  very satisfied with his service.   i hope he got my tip.  

worth it? 
hell yeah!!! steep on the prices but def worth it.

great steaks but maybe if you like medium rare, ask them to have it a bit more in the rare side. mine was just a bit too cooked for my preference. they are quite busy on a friday so book in advance. service was a bit slow but maybe because it was really busy. pricey but tastes good so not complaining. they have a good selection of wines and staff are very polite. great for date nights!

had to have the wagyu... what an experience. next stop - kobe. would recommend everyone trying it atleast once. service was great. will definitely be back again soon

attended in a group of 5, all the the steaks were great. however we were extremely disappointed with the service. have been here a couple times and it is usually good but this was just appalling for the quality they aim to achieve. the waitress was dismissive and rude, we had to wait an obscenely long time to make our order, and when our meals were finished had to wait over 20 minutes for our plates to be cleared which was only done so after we called another staff member and asked for it to be done. we constantly had to hail people down to order drinks and dessert. on top of this when brought to our table some of our steaks and sauces were mixed up. not normally one to leave a negative review and i am aware how entitled this sounds, however the group was unimpressed and i felt embarrassed having suggested it in the first place. not what you would expect from a place like this.

brilliant service, very professional and friendly staff. came here for a special birthday dinner and they served and cut the cake for us free of charge, and kindly took photos of our group.
the food is worth the price. i had the calamari entree which was delicious and a good amount. for main i had the free ranch chicken with a side of carrots. it was a beautiful meal, really flavoursome and juicy. the people who had steak said it was brilliant.
i had a blueberry cocktail which i enjoyed a lot.
unfortunately our table was by the door so i got a bit cold when people came in and out, and it was a bit close to the front counter. but apart from that everything was perfect.

every time i dine at jsh i come away satisfied.
the steaks here are simply the best. i highly recommend the signature prime rib, which you have to order 24 hours ahead of time because its slow cooked for about 12. this results in an extremely tender steak and fat just melts in your mouth, the queen cut was plenty with all the other dishes.

the sauces are jam packed full of flavour, the side dishes are great especially the candied kumara, plus i recommend the calamari schnitzel as a starter.

so if you have a special occasion and are looking for the top streaks around, i highly recommend this place.

wow…….just wow ….since changing hands the quality has gone down hill and the portion sizes are pathetic!!! half a rack of lamb 🐑 $48 !!!! without sides !!!! wtf!!!!! dined there last sunday …omg !!!! rip off !!!!!

food was very delicious, the best steak i have ever had, but this is a once in a rare occasion type of place (quite expensive)- was charged surcharge despite using eftpos. servers very friendly albeit one server-

all i can say it wow! was a absolute amazing time. originally i was worried about the price and size of the steaks seen when i googled the place but all i could fit in is a steak and a side. i had eye fillet on the bone and it was a good portion and cooked to perfection, best steak i've ever eaten. the service was wonderful, all friendly, professional staff really new there stuff! 10/10 would recommend !

ps. if getting fries get the truffle fries much better than the regular

jervios is mine and my partners regular. we like to visit the restaurant at least once a month. we cannot fault the place on anything. even though some times the restaurant is extremely busy and we have to wait a little while for our food, we are always compensated by the amazing service and food expertise.

my favourite dish on the menu is the steak tartare, it's a must every time. freshly ground top grade steak served with fresh herbs and seasoning, topped with raw egg. absolutely sensational.

friendly staff, sophisticated ambience with good choice of music (and not so loud). well recommend!
