“While I was expecting a pretty decent dining experience at the in-house Barrel & Co Bar and Grill (this is a five-star hotel after all), I wasn’t prepared for one of the best steaks I have ever eaten. The Wakanui scotch was pure melt-in-mouth joy, matched in perfection with an exquisite port sauce.”
