cobblers falcon

not quite the same as our last visit.
the mother's day set menu for $55 looked promising on paper but didn't deliver the same level of amazingness as previously experienced. the service was very sluggish to start, as we waited 15 mins to get a drinks order in, and we had to flag down a waitstaff to get the order in. the second service error was that after a lengthy wait the mains arrived before the entree. the entree of crab cakes was presented well and the cakes were in short supply as the table tried to raid my plate. the steak wasn't in the same light however. it was cooked perfectly but really lacked nice marbalisation. overall the experience didn't have the wow factor of the last visit, but i still remember the duck dish so that will bring me back to give the a la carte menu.

agreatoption if you are in the area!. this was our first visit to the refurbished cobblers and boy they have done a cracking job.
the decor is a mixture of exposed beams, oversized light bulbs and exposed brick. the fit out could happily slot into a mt lawley hot zone.
the wine list is basic but has an option for most taste buds. the food menu has eclectic mix of proteins, breads and vegetarian options to keep the table happy.

we ordered an array of dishes ranging from charcuterie board to confit duck. all proteins throughout everyone's meal were cooked perfectly and seasoned well. the confit duck was the highlight for me with a melt in your mouth experience. the beet root fans will also love this dish as the multiple flavours and textures compliments the duck well. the tin lids have a fairly basic choice but should suffice for the pizza and chicken lovers.
the service wasn't quite to the high standards of the food and decor but still was perfectly acceptable.
the 'new' cobblers has clearly lifted the food service to a level where there is no local competition for them.
p.s the wife said the pork belly was one of the best she has had

i'm always excited to dine at a new restaurant, as it usually brings new flavours and experiences with it. we sat in their alfresco dining area, as it was a beautiful day. the spring roll entree was agreatway to start off the proceedings, with a crunchy shell and wonderfully cooked interior. the turkish bread entree was excellent value, with perfectly cooked chorizo, fetta, pesto, a dipping sauce with strong undertones of yoghurt, and of course the olive oiled bread. our eye fillet dishes consisted of all the different sides that were available on the menu. whilst the salad and chips was simple, it was effective in tying the protein together with the mushroom and red wine sauce. the rosti provided with another included side dish was really good, with a crunchy textured shell and soft inners. the potato bake that was another element of an eye fillet side dish wasn't enjoyed as much as the others, due to being under seasoned. there is somegreatlittle techniques and alot of elements of the dishes that are made from scratch in house which is a good thing too see in a pub restaurant. if i'm in the area again i'll happily make a return visit. food 7/10 decor 5.5/10 (alfresco) service 7/10

came here for dinner. very friendly service, cocktails weregreatand drinks menu extensive. i had the salt and pepper prawns and fresh oysters with chilli and lime. both were amazing and was tempted to order more oysters. ordered the crab linguini main but was a little off-put by the spices used. the serving size was huge but i didn't like the dish overall. it tasted like pasta with soggy batter through it. i've ordered here before and really enjoy the food but just a bad choice by me. if only this dish could be re-designed? i was really craving pasta! fresh crab meat, olive oil, garlic etc with red or white sauce would have hit the spot!

beautiful meal . had entree , main and dessert . all lovely. wait staff fantastic and attentive . just wish they were wearing name badges so i can let them know what agreatjob they done !!

really fabulous feed! and large wines, what agreatidea!
hubby had korean chicken & squid plates, both tasty & fresh. my charcuterie board was devine!!! only 1 qualm. why not have enough sourdough to finish all the lovely tastes? so i had to as for more. $5 for more bread than i stated with...!?!

unbelievably bad service and terrible food. attended on a sunday evening;
asked for chilli (flakes) on the $25 pizza, which they have added before but were too busy this time....
the pizza ? - terrible couldn't describe it, a meatlovers at dominoes would have been lovely compared to it...
old dried leftovers and scraps from the week, thrown on a terrible base with some cheap bbq sauce over the top. i asked everybody to try it before i spoke to the staff to make sure it wasn't just me, all three of us spat it out - there was chunks of lamb on it that tasted old maybe off - bad enough to make you sick.
i took it to the staff, the manager made me feel like i was complaining for nothing, "i like the pizza's here" he said "but your not happy with it so what do you want?"
i hate complaining, so i said if he just gave us a bar card we will still spend the money here.
"just come and see me when you want a drink" he said and took the pizza away.

then when i asked for the drinks he wasn't going to give me more than a $10 glass of wine..."it was your pizza wasn't it? - i don't even have to give you a free drink"

at this stage i got quite upset and challenged the manager about the value of the pizza, he ended up giving me another small glass of beer (valued $16.00 altogether) and said "sorry about all that" - - just ridiculous after the attitude displayed.

i asked other patrons about their food, people had many complaints but put up with it...i can only put cobblers success to lack of competition but seriously, my three bad similar experiences at cobblers ensure i'm just not going back again next time.

living local i used to frequent cobblers weekly.
after being told down the managers nose rudely "you cant leave a dog tied up outside, i am not happy with that"
i could understand if it was said nicely.
i won't go here again.
that female manager is often rude and food is overpriced and flavourless anyway.

sunday sesh 12/1/13.great.... sunday sesh 12/1/13.
great place, at the time we went it was full of many many, over tattood, muscly loud young fellahs which somewhat spoiled the atmosphere, but still had agreattime.
live music was awesome and the guy was lovely too.
good beers on tap,greatservice. pleasant place.
little bit down on the ambience side of things and the pizza we had was pretty average.
but looking forward to trying it again next time :)
thankyou.

great mealgreatservice.greatfriendly staff thank you peta

excellent customer service!!. i dont ever review restaurants, but wanted to make an exception because my husband and i have dined at cobblers a few times in the last month, and we've been lucky enough each time to be served by the same waitress (allana) the food is always delicious and well presented and the atmosphere is always superb! (although sometimes when there is live music on it can get a little loud if you have kiddies.) if you like a more personal approach from wait staff then go to cobblers and ask for allana - you'll have agreattime.

fish of the day. excellent

amazing food.greatplating. excellent service. reasonable prices. 8 of us dined here last night and all enjoyed the experience

fantastic experience for my entire family!. we'd heard nothing butgreatthings about cobbler's tavern and decided to book a table for a family member's birthday. we've never had a dining experience like it. i personally have never felt so welcome in a venue in my years of dining out. the manager on duty at the time was friendly and greeted us with an enthusiasm that was refreshing and welcoming. we were seated at a lovely clean table and our drink orders taken promptly. our meals didn't take too long considering how busy they were. can i just say, the things we'd heard about the food didn't disappoint. fantastic night out for the family. will definitely visit again. 10/10.

my husbands birthday lunch, 26/7/14.. amazing good, we both had the sirloin steak, he had an ice cream dessert and i had a merangue dessert, he had cider to drink and i had lemon lime and bitters. as a little treat the waitress put a candle in his dessert :-) a very sweet gesture and a couple of tables around us sang happy birthday to him. :-) lots of fun and a delicious meal,greatatmosphere. there was a slight problems with the bill, but easily sorted.

would totally, totally recommend this fabulous place.

thanks so much, anne & brian.

best meal i've had in mandurah! it's agreatmixture of fine dining,greatatmosphere and friendly and helpful staff! two thumbs up!

fairly average i have to say... service and atmosphere wasgreatbut my chicken salad was super dry/over cooked and tough (way too much spanish onion). mum had the tasting plate which she thought the tasting plate was good but the tarrine needed something else (bit bland).

good stuff!. cobblers have given me agreatmeal about 10 out of 10 times. most recently when the place was busy and our table of 15 all got our meals at the same time and where all to a consistent and good standard.

recommended!

great food.greatservice.. 4 out of 9 people had the steak and they loved every morsel. porterhouse. i had the chicken linguini it was quite nice but not wow. our waitress was lovely. wish i knew her name. organized that we had separate billing for all and worked great. picture and pencils supplied for kids. kids menu were all priced at $10 and servings were huge. all in all a good night. we will be back. have eaten here before. alfresco in the warmer months was very nice.
