About A Cut Above Bar and Grill

Tucked inside the Berwick Springs Hotel, this polished dining room delivers city-grade steakhouse swagger straight to the South East. Tables are well spaced for date-night intimacy, backed by switched-on floor staff and a focused cocktail list. While the kitchen turns out seafood linguine and beef tataki, serious carnivores come for the heavy-hitting cuts—from a 750g cowboy T-bone to marbled MS9 Wagyu scotch fillet seared hard and cooked to temp, flanked by buttery mash and rich pan jus.

  • Heavyweight Cuts & Wagyu: Butchery options range from 700g and 750g bone-in T-bones to 300g MS9 Wagyu scotch fillet paired with regional wines.
  • Private Mezzanine Dining: An upstairs dining room dubbed The Mez hosts milestone birthdays and intimate gatherings with dedicated staff.

  • seafood linguine

    The seafood linguine was divine, not just good, not just memorable, but genuinely the best I’ve had, the kind of dish that makes you pause mid-conversation and stare at the plate as if it’s betrayed you by being finite.

  • beef tataki

    The beef tataki was equally impressive, delicate and perfectly judged, while the oysters, topped with bacon jam or shaved yuzu ice, were confidently above par, playful without being silly, indulgent without apology.

Before you head over

Practical advice on finding the venue, exploring the steak menu, and booking private spaces.

  • Locating the Dining Room

    A Cut Above is located inside the Berwick Springs Hotel, so look for the hotel entrance on Clyde Road rather than an independent streetfront facade.

  • Ordering Premium Steaks

    Premium cuts like the 700g/750g T-bone, tomahawk, and 300g MS9 Wagyu scotch fillet carry high-end pricing, but diners note the quality rivals top Melbourne CBD steak venues.

  • Booking Private Gatherings

    For milestone birthdays and private celebrations, reserve 'The Mez'—the dedicated upstairs private dining room—for dedicated staff and an intimate setting.
