Kid's Play Area and promotion
This is one of two Steakhouse Gang venues along with the Bonny View.
Whole restaurant is branded with 'steer' steakhouse logo; walls painted, carpet. Yet... the top of the divider between the Steakhouse and the pokie area has been left open allowing pokie noise and the lights affixed to the ceiling to be seen. While there are two entrances, the one pictured feeds from the covered car park.

General Comments.
Venue is located in the Mt. Sheridan shopping centre.
A woman (manager?) from the venue came out. I gave her my name. Offered to show her the pictures I had taken. Told her I got Steakhouse material from her staff. Shook hands.
