cobblers falcon

had a lovely lunch here with my parents. they kindly changed up themenufor my mum who wanted a fish sandwich instead of steak. chicken salad was delish and so were the chicken sliders. a tab bonus for dad 😃

not quite the same as our last visit.
the mother's day setmenufor $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.

a great option 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 foodmenuhas 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 a great way 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 some great little 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

have been once before and wasn’t that impressed, others were though so i thought i would give it another go. came for lunch here today and really enjoyed ourselves. last time i remember the salt and pepper squid being amazing but today it was pretty average. i do like that there is 2 menus because the barmenu is cheaper and more options but i don’t understand why sometimes they allow you to order from it in the restaurant and other times you have to order from the restaurant menu. anyway today was pretty good and i’ll be back, they place looks absolutely fabulous inside and i’m keen to try the rest of the menu

very hard to fault this place! the food is full of flavour, artistically presented, with truly friendly service from attentive, young, attractive staff.
when we arrived, the staff were flat out serving meals etc, but 2 different staff members acknowledged us and said that someone would be with us as soon as possible. sure enough, we were soon greeted and escorted to our table. our drinks (a virgin mojito, lemon, lime and bitters, and a squires cider) were all really good, and the mojito especially was fresh and delicious.
fantastic entrees of pulled pork spring rolls and salt and ash squid. the pork belly, chicken kiev and scotch fillet were all sensational, beautifully presented and very tasty! we even managed to squeeze in a dessert of ice cream, chocolate sauce and sponge fingers, with m&m shards of chocolate!! $190 for three of us, including two large ciders. pretty reasonable and there were enough yummy sounding choices on themenuthat we're already planning a return trip to try them out.

came here for dinner. very friendly service, cocktails were great and drinksmenuextensive. 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!

wow - what a perfect lunch !. as soon as we saw themenuone of our friends commented - "thismenureally excites me!" and she was so right, from the moment we saw the dishes coming past our table we had difficulty choosing from the interesting menu. we all had 3 courses and everyone was absolutely thrilled with their selections. cobblers ticks every box with their varied menu, excellent food served by staff who really take pride in their job. don't waste time and money travelling to the city, you won't get a better meal anywhere!

cobblers returns... my family went to cobblers for dinner on 24/04/14 and was very surprised! themenuand food was amazing, the service was excellent and overall evening enjoyable! 2 kids meals, 2 entrees, 2 main meals and 2 wines were $150!! a very happy family. we only wish it was in perth :(
below a pic of the pork belly!!

just superb!. my daughter booked us in for dinner tonight. the meal and service were excellent. only two of us had entrees. their blue manna crab cakes were delicious, as was the ash and black pepper squid. two chose steak for the main - cooked exactly as requested, whilst i had cobbler's take on chicken kiev, complete with prawns as a tasty extra. didn't think there would be room for dessert, but their dessertmenuis varied and definitely worth trying. i had the churros with four dipping sauces.
my goodness! the tastiest salted caramel sauce i have ever eaten. i didn't get to try the ice cream - that went to the one who didn't order dessert!

i have to compliment the service. the wait-staff were attentive, very friendly and efficient. good timing between courses.
it was a positive thing to see how busy the restaurant was for a monday evening - i think this is a testament to the quality of the food and ambience.
it was only the second time i've been back to cobblers since it re-opened, but it was pleasing to see that themenuhad changed with some new additions along with the regular steak and fish.

this was an excellent meal out and we will be back again soon. i think cobblers is going to become our new favourite place to go.

second visit to cobblers. love they way they've rebuilt the tavern. only had grazingmenuitems, garlic bread exceptional, turkish bread share plate ok. chorizo is cheap and basil pesto is very rich, but nice. mini olives? i wouldn't bother- i would imagine this us the one item that gets thrown away.
my one bug bear- they serve a kidsmenuin the bar area, the usual junk food, however when you come to order ice cream you have to be in the restaurant? so to stay longer (and buy more drink) to keep the kids happy, we sent them to maccas for a sunday and then got a visit from the bouncer when the kids brought them back to eat.
serve ice cream in the bar!!!!
what kind of rule is this?

much better. i wrote a review a couple of months ago, and it was just terrible.

they must've changed the chef, because i begrudgingly went a couple of nights ago and to my surprise the fancy overpricedmenuwas out, and the originalmenuwas back!

the food was great, service was great, there's nothing i can complain about!

well done to cobblers for turning it around so quickly!

don't bother. i've been to this pub a few times recently, and always expected good food as a few years ago it was great.

i have been disappointed everytime. firstly it is extremely overpriced. $39 for a steak?! come on - you're a pub in mandurah.

i order the crab cakes as an entree ($18!!!), it tasted like old frying oil and was extremely hot on the outside by freezing on the inside. i asked the waitress if it was possible to get it warmed up, and she gave me an exasperated look and came back with my microwaved warm entree. unfortunately the microwaving didn't give it any flavour.

i had a steak ($39) and ordered it rare, it came well done. i only complained because it was like chewing on rubber, i was told by the waitress that it would get pinker as i got into the middle.... ok then. so i spend the next 20 minutes chewing my way through a piece of rubber for $39.

just terrible.

great food. great service.. 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. kidsmenuwere 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.
