Some softening

Looking at the recent reviews, there appears to be a slight softening in the overall satisfaction with SK Steak & Oyster’s steak compared to the earlier period, with a notable increase in negative feedback. While many diners still rave about the quality and flavour, particularly with dishes like the steak and sides, some recent comments suggest a decline in consistency or perhaps an increased incidence of dryness within the steaks.
