MPD Steak Kitchen Caulfield 25 Derby Road, Caulfield East, Victoria 3145

"Oysters and chips were good, the rest were so bad. Went there to try out the steaks, OMG medium rare but it was too red/blood feeling like eating fresh meats overall UNDERCOOKED. First time see their Oyster sauce was like black pepper sauce and no mushroom taste at all. I've also read other customers reviews (some with meat cooked perfectly, some undercooked & some overcooked). So really much coming here to try your luck. its pricey & ruined my Saturday night. Paid $192.15 First time ever, didn't want to pay at all."

"Mediocre at best. I had my eye on this place for quite some time and finally made the trip out. Walking in, you immediately notice the eclectic interior design: particle board walls, retro patterned carpet, photos of cute cattle on the wall, and hanging cattle pelts. Personally I found it difficult to properly enjoy my steak with an entire wall of cattle staring at me. All our dishes were vibrant and attractive, but the flavours were underwhelming. We ordered the Butcher's Block for two ($65pp), along with some sides and dessert. The steaks were very thin - hardly 1" thick, and underwhelming. The sides were OK, though the Broccolini was extremely garlicky - perfect for avid garlic enthusiasts. The Snickers dessert tasted beautiful. The "Mandarin Textures," however, was totally bizarre and difficult to appreciate taste-wise. The service was slow, though I believe there was an event going on at the casino nextdoor they were catering to at the same time. Overall, the value didn't match up to $125+ pp."

"This is a lovely restaurant. The decor and lighting is great, wine great and the food was absolutely fantastic. This will be our go to for very special occasions. Quality is what this is so it comes with a price to match but certainly not over the top compared to other less inviting places to eat that also have nice food. Thank you MPD for a lovely evening."

"Amazing Food and Service I am delighted to share my review of the amazing dining experience I had at this restaurant! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm welcome from the friendly staff, who were all extremely knowledgeable about the menu and happy to make recommendations. The atmosphere was perfect, with a cozy and inviting vibe that made me feel right at home. The decor was modern and chic, with just the right amount of ambient lighting to create a relaxing and comfortable environment. Now, let's talk about the food. I ordered the Wagyu burger, and it was hands down the best burger I have ever had! The patty was cooked to perfection, juicy and flavorful, and the bun was soft and fresh. The truffle Mac and cheese was also out of this world - the combination of the creamy cheese sauce and the earthy truffle flavor was absolutely divine. But what really made the experience memorable was the exceptional service from the waiter. He was attentive, friendly, and went out of his way to make sure everything was perfect. He even recommended a fantastic wine pairing that complemented my meal perfectly. Overall, I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. The combination of fantastic food, great atmosphere, and amazing service makes this a must-visit destination for anyone looking for a top-notch dining experience. I will definitely be back!"

"The food was not as good as I expected for what we paid for it. Sauces were very average and steak was chewy and hard to cut through (we asked for medium rare). The sides however, were delicious and dessert was amazing!! Service was very good, our waiter could not have done any more for us."
