cobblers falcon

first time to cobblers tavern, service excellent! my 1/2 dozen oysters natural from tasmania were to die for!! and the 300gm scotchsteakmr with wild mushrooms, mashed potatoes and beans perfectly cooked!! haven't tasted anything better! i'll recommend this tavern to my friends.

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. thesteakwasn'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 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 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

as a mother i was relaxed with high chairs with safety straps intact.
good looking clean bar/restaurant,we will be back.
thank you again.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

great meal. four of us went for lunch and had salt and pepper squid, waygu sliders,steakand prawns and chicken wings. all were delicious and the service was efficient and helpful. all in all it was a very pleasant dining experience and i would recommend the place. compared to other general restaurants and pubs in the mandurah area it has the best food.

disappointed. since cobblers has re-opened i have been very disappointed in the restaurant meals.
the 300 gram rib-eyesteaklooks like a chop, the only thing that would weight 300 grams is the bone only!
the bar meals are nice and not bad value.
however for a tavern i believe their menus do not suit.

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 chosesteakfor 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 dessert menu is 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 the menu had changed with some new additions along with the regularsteakand 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.

sensational. was not expecting such a high standard meal. every meal was presented very well and the staff attentive. started with garlic bread, 8 huge slices with evoo and balsamic. mains- gnocchi with mushrooms, very tasty. scotchsteakwith red wine jus was cooked to perfection and could be cut easily with a butter knife. espresso brûlée was served with a chocolate brownie and ice cream, sensational. apple and rhubarb crumble was served with strawberry sorbet and a gorgeous vanilla bean custard. will definitely be going back. not the typical pub meal i was expecting and the prices are reasonable too.

two hungry aussies. hero to zero! we enjoyed a visit to the reopened cobblers tavern in january and were pleasantly surprised. so a revisit was planned for last sunday and oh-boy what a disappointment! the locals have taken over the bar and they really bring the place down. with no separation between the restaurant and the bar the atmosphere is appalling. loud drunken youths playing with an oversized jenga set which clattered to the floor routinely throughout the evening (bad idea owners!) mysteakwas tough and questionable in origin. the waitress confirmed that it was actually a filletsteakbut i remain dubious. my wife enjoyed the chicken pasta dish so it was not a complete wash out. a couple of slips from the wait staff didn't add to the experience and then to be ignored by a young man standing at the counter waiting to pay our bill sealed the deal. we will not be back!

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 overpriced menu was out, and the original menu was 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 asteak($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 thesteakand 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.
