“We had the WOAP dinner tonight. Meat platter for two (×2). Loved the sausage, it was so tasty. The lamb skewers were also fantastic. The brisket was tender and the sauces were an apricot type and a BBQ type. If you want good meat go to Charley Noble even if you can’t get there for WOAP. Their normal menu is also fabulous.” –Ema Wihapi-Solia

“Here for steak. We ordered medium rare sirloin and it came out almost well done. That was quite disappointing but the waiter was nice and offered to make it for us. My friend didn’t want to waste the steak that was already made (which i thought was really nice and refreshing) and so we were offered a drink each. The scotch was really good though!! Music was really good!” –Kathy Quan
