Steaks were overcooked, and my 200g eye-fillet was more like 150g. The chicken wings were rather spicy, and should have been listed on the menu as such.. This venue has now made it onto my highly acclaimed "Boycott List." Congratulations.. thou shall not see us never again..

Went for a trivia night with some friends, we also had dinner. The service was good, food was normal pub grub, trivia questions were great, but i don't like how quick you go through them using an electronic response thingy. Overall, not a terrible place but I probably won't go back.

It is a nice pub
A bit gloomy at night time, friendly staff at the bar and they have a bistro section where you can order food. They have a good selection of foods, the particular highlight for this particular event was the laksha festival. Slightly expensive but lovely presentation mildly spicy.

I used to visit here often. It still is a great place but for some crazy reason every visit lately has had its issues. The food can be very good or very bad. The service can be very good or very bad and some things just dont seem to run correctly. And I dont think its a staff issue, I think its a management problem. They couldnt even turn the TV to the correct channel to watch the AFL grand final? And they advertised they were going to show it? They have messed up many of our meals, forgotten some or just fed me a piece of slow cooked chuck steak when in fact I had paid for eye fillet
