About Escagrill

Escagrill delivers CBD-grade surf and turf with classic silver service right on Mt Alexander Road. Wood, leather, and low ambient lighting set a bustling scene where servers break down wagyu marbling and keep water glasses topped without missing a beat. The kitchen avoids fussy plating, turning out hearty cuts—char-crusted ribeye and tender eye fillet—alongside natural oysters, whole crisp flounder, and lobster split with garlic butter or mornay.

  • Surf and turf focus: Char-crusted ribeye and wagyu steaks served alongside whole crisp flounder, fresh oysters, and garlic butter lobster.
  • Old-school hospitality: Attentive floor staff offer classic silver service, detailed wine pairings, and beef grading guidance.
  • Private upstairs room: A dedicated second-floor dining space tailored for group celebrations and milestone birthday gatherings.

Before you head over

Practical tips on parking, menu selections, and dietary accommodations for your visit.

  • Allow Extra Time for Street Parking

    Street parking on busy Mt Alexander Road can be tight and restricted, so plan extra time to park or aim around 6:15 pm when 2-hour restrictions ease.

  • Confirm Market Pricing on Specialty Steaks

    Premium steaks like full blood Wagyu carry market pricing, so feel free to check the day's market rates and cuts with your server beforehand.

  • Flag Dietary Needs Directly with Waitstaff

    If anyone in your party has dairy or gluten intolerances, inform the floor staff upon seating as the kitchen readily customizes dishes.
