Reviews
"After reading good reviews we visited with our 3 kids wanting a good old Sunday night pub meal before leaving for our cruise. The food was good although quite pricey, however the service was absolutely terrible. Both guys working the bar and food service clearly did not want to be there. They didn't collect dishes when delivering more, and cut us off mid conversation when ordering a drink. The venue was not overly busy at the time."
"Place is great to watch a matilda's match, but me and a friend ordered the schnitzel stacker. Which was yummy but took ages to come out, we were sitting right next to the kitchen and our schnitzel came out cold?? Like... how?"
"Great atmosphere and food. Lively pub with many office workers drinking on a weeknight."
"It's a nice old fashioned bar in the city. Very cosy. We loved the option to order from the QR code app to save the queue. But the food selection we found limited, I was looking for something light but very little salad options were there, it's probably average for a bar menu."
"+ • Tasty food • Unusual options • Mostly nice personnel - • It's quite loud • I was SO disappointed to not find these 2 things (the reason I visited this restaurant in the first place) on the menu: crispy salmon skin & beetrot blood orange salad We had: • Creamy mashed potatoes • Side salad • Corn ribs • Crispy Brussels sprouts [• Ginger Ale; • Corona beer]"
