no. 4 bar

date night here tonight firsttimemy husband and i have been out since baby 3 arrived 10mths ago. we were ready for a rare treat! we enjoyed a wine and beer plus some ciabatta which was tasty. we decided to try a cup of soup and have a light meal. the soup was good and came out promptly after the bread. however service then took a dive and we waited and waited for our light meals which arrived 1hr 30 after they were ordered. a chicken salad and a burger and fries should not take that long. also the burger patty was pink and looked undercooked. the salad was boring and lacked flavour. both meals we hardly touched. the waitress took away the burger and said it was the herbs in the patty that made it look pink?? aren't herbs green? she offered us a complimentary dessert but by 10pm we were ready to go home. she took the burger off the total bill but we still left disappointed � we won't be back on our next precious date night. what was worse was my parents had given us a voucher as a christmas present. what a shame we didn't get to enjoy it.

first let me say i am astounded by the reviews and am thankful none of my numerous experiences at no. 4 have consisted of any of them. i have always been fortunate enough to have wonderful food when i have dined at no. 4 restaurant, on saying that i did dine there a while ago with a friend and was shocked with how visually unappealing his meal was based around non-searing of the sausages (they looked like food-poisoned tadpoles and inedible), but their recovery attimeto pay was no-nonsense, sincere and suitably compensatory and left me with enough confidence to take people there again in the future.

we went there on saturday night for my daughter's 20th birthday and had a meal. the meal itself was ok but the problem was one of us had prawn entree which after eating one noticed a large blowfly in it. we let the waitress know who was shocked and offered a new one but we declined. she then offered a free drink. not at anytimedid management come see us. we were disgusted. it cost us $210 for a horrible evening. we will never be back.

a friend an i went here for lunch this week. i had remembered it as having nice food but it is probably 4 years since i had last been there. i wouldn't be in a hurry to go back. $36 for fish of the day and it was awful - salted so as to be almost inedible. i did pass my comments on but nothing was done and not wanting to make more of a fuss and spoiltimewith my friend i just paid and left.
