Squires Loft, Docklands

What people say, in short
Many diners recommend Squires Loft as a steak option, and a few describe it as consistently good and reliable, with people naming the Docklands and South Yarra branches. Others are less keen: two diners find it very average or say it has declined for years. One diner wishes it were more consistent, since a Williamstown meal was good but a later visit came out far less cooked than wanted, and another says steaks came out a level or so under what was ordered. One diner feels it is overrated and another says it is not among the better choices, though overall more people recommend it than criticise it.
