Kingsleys Steak & Crabhouse

With views across the water to the architectural majesty of the Story Bridge, Kingsleys is a premium offering, with a moody interior and slick service well suited to the prime real estate it occupies. The slimmed-down menu makes each offering count, such as a salad of soft-shell crab where crisp, deep fried morsels of crustacean are scattered atop a well-balanced and textural Asian salad. Cape Grim beef carpaccio also makes an impact, flecked with mustard, parmesan and truffle oil. Crab is sold at market price and served either chilled, steamed with lemon butter or wok-fried with chilli. Each steak comes with its pedigree, and is delivered unadorned, which can make a considerable impact on the pocket. The recent installation of a rotisserie adds lunchtime offerings of slow-roasted lamb, pork and birds. A sleek line of cocktails allows for postprandial appreciation of the distinguished panorama.
