About Cavills Steakhouse & Rooftop Bar

Runaway Bay regulars know the drill—skip the coastal strip and head straight to Cavills for serious beef done right. Charred rib fillets land thick, juicy, and nailed to the exact cuisson. Families mark milestone birthdays here by the decade, returning for tender eye fillets, crusty bread straight from the oven, and plates bundled with baked potatoes and coleslaw rather than nickel-and-dime à la carte sides. Upstairs, the open-air rooftop catches an easy breeze away from the main dining hum—an effortless perch for cold lychee cocktails and fresh oysters.

  • Precision Cuts & Seafood: Rib fillets, eye fillets, and lamb cutlets grilled to precise doneness, complemented by fresh oysters and garlic prawn toppers.
  • Inclusive Classic Sides: Steak orders include oven-warm bread, house sauces, and Idaho baked potatoes with bacon sauce rather than costly à la carte sides.
  • Rooftop Retreat: An open-air upper terrace bar providing a conversational setting away from the busy dining room, paired with signature lychee cocktails.
  • Intuitive Service: Floor staff deliver unhurried, attentive hospitality that smoothly accommodates both milestone celebrations and multi-generational family groups.

  • Welcoming to Multi-Generational Family Groups

    Generations of families gather comfortably for milestones, supported by a dining room team that accommodates toddlers and grandparents with ease.

  • Intimate Acoustics on the Open-Air Rooftop

    The elevated upper deck separates diners from the main dining room bustle with balanced sound levels ideal for hearing each other clearly.

    the music is not loud at all on the rooftop, over there it felt like more personal and private, where you can talk quietly and the person with you can hear you.

  • Low-Table Seating Built for Focused Conversations

    A dedicated low-table setting provides an unhurried, comfortable layout tailored for focused discussions and quiet dinners.

    We were in the low table area - was just what we needed - Great Steak, a few oysters and a nice red wine. Was just the two of us (business partners), perfect spot to sit down and plan a few things over a nice dinner

Frequently Asked Questions

Do steak mains come with sides, or is everything à la carte?

Level one is the vibrant standard dining room, while the rooftop area offers a more relaxed, quiet setting where conversation is easy without loud dining noise.

Is parking available on-site?

Yes, underground car parking is located right underneath the building, with additional street and lot parking options nearby.

Should I make a reservation before visiting?

Cavills accepts bookings, and reserving a table in advance is recommended to ensure you secure a spot, especially during peak dinner services.
