Food and service were both great. Didn't have to wait too long even though the restaurant was busy. Only issue was we found it a bit noisy with large groups on the balcony, but overall enjoyable and would definitely return.

Disappointing overall. Very small meals, especially for a pub feed. We had to get food at the game as we were still hungry. Food also came out lukewarm, very underwhelming. Staff were friendly and the atmosphere was nice but food overpriced. $100+ for very average feed. We won’t be back.

Food was quite ordinary especially for the price. Lamb Shanks - had to cut the meat off the bone not very soft the way shanks should be. Burger was only ok - no taste in the meat and I only ate 3/4 of it (I always finish my meals). Service was great and a good meeting point before the footy. Would try something different and see how I would rate it then.
