lovely steak sandwiches, amazing service.. my boyfriend and i really enjoyed our steak sandwiches. really great coffee. the ginger beer is alcoholic just a warning for pregnant and breastfeeding mummas. over all we had a great time and enjoyed thefoodand service, so much so that we are planning to return with our families. :)

service is crap!. waitress is sucidal, blonde barmaid highly insulted me andfoodtook an hour to come out and was very average!! good for drinks but way over priced for standard of food.

catch 22?. reading all the reviews on here, and in comparison to our own experience i think its safe to say thefoodcan be a bit of a hit and miss (especially the steak sandwiches). having said that though,foodportions are huge! so if you're a student on a budget, there is plenty to share on a plate :)

excellent service, the young girls are polite and very willing to assist.foodis good, no complaints. only grumble, the decor is dated and the pub takes little advantage of the views.

food order:
mushroom risotto
wedges

drinks: lemon, lime bitters

total bill: $40

final verdict:
a great pub/hotel situated in como suited for families. friendly atmosphere and good vibes in there. but i was disappointed with the portion size of my food(risotto) since i paid so much for it. other than that, a pleasant experience in this pub but will think twice before i spend my money onfooddue to portion sizes.

this place were very busy on the weekend. i came here for my friend birthday dinner. the foods are nice, the staffs are friendly. thefoodwas served pretty fast. overall it’s good experience for me.

not the sort of place you would pick unless you are a local or recommended by a local.
big open dining area, busy and vibrant.
menu does not do justice to the quality of thefoodon offer.
definitely over delivers.

went here for dinner last friday with the family. had one fish and chips, one squid and chips and shared chilli mussels with my mom. glad we booked as all tables were reserved. super friendly and efficient staff and thefoodwas brought out looking so fresh and delicious. lots of families and couples going for a meal out so they cater for all. super impressive and fast service! my father and brother loved the fish and squid. the portions were huge! great value for money. enjoyed the chilli mussels with mommy but could have been a bit spicier hence why rating of 4.5. enjoyable night out and would recommend to all for a beautiful meal. beautiful sunset views as all make for an excellent experience. thank you ♥

great pub experience. foodwas delicious - we had the steak sandwich, pork belly, risotto and calamari on our table and everyone loved all the dishes but it was the service that was the real standout. the staff were considerate, attentive and appropriate. i don't think i have experienced such great service in years and i eat out a lot. price was good too.

menu has a lot of variety,foodis always fresh and delicious and the staff are always friendly and happy. this is definitely our 'local' and such a handy place to have down the road for a quick easy meal. consistently good!

used to be a firm favourite however seems things have slipped somewhat. sunday afternoon, only 2 tables in the dining area seated and the bar area not even at 50% capacity. sat down in the bar area to a dirty table & chairs scattered everywhere. no staff at anytime offered to clean up around us. when thefoodwas delivered, the burger was below average, just a mucky mess tbh & the bruschetta was standard. once again, nobody checking in to see how our meal was & then our plates left half empty for about 20 minutes & not being cleared because the staff were busy...doing nothing as the venue was empty compared to its busy times. all good & well to offer compensation when i complain, but it shouldn't have got to that stage. whatever happened to customer service or is it a venues god given right to expect me to hand over my cash for shoddy service. disappointed to say the least karalee. doubt i'll be back.

no great. i wouldn't eat here again.foodvery average at best and so over priced! not a very ambient venue either, no music or even tv volume. i wouldn't rush back. service was good but they don't check on your table or ask how things were. to be honest... i wouldn't either..😊

great local pub!
you get good pubfoodand good service here. i had the lamb shank and it was delicious! would recommend for a casual night out with friends or family. much betterfoodand value for money than any other pub in the area.

i love this pub. the beer is good, the wait staff are efficient, thefoodis good and especially the steak sandwich, which deserves its reputation. the views of the river and the sunset just make me really happy, thirsty and hungry, which is a dangerous combination for old fats here. the only little issue i have is with one guy in particular who has indian accent on the phone and can be rather rude at times. it might be that they get a bit stressed at times but won't stop me from going there.

love this place being my 'local'. thefoodis always good and the service is friendly and attentive. you can always get a good steak here, & yummy comfort food. and let's not forget the perfect view of a sunset over the river.
