We ordered…read morefive meals on a Saturday morning and had to wait an hour for them (there was only 5 other people in the bar). They seemed to only have one person in the kitchen who was cooking one meal at a time. When the meals arrived they were all cold. The fish and chips were cold (how hard is it to put something in the deep fryer with the right timing?). We got the special of the pulled pork burger which arrived on a partly frozen bun and was complete cold, it was more like a salad and pork roll. At one stage I had seen the chef walk out from the kitchen confused and looking at the specials board. I assume he had no idea what a pulled pork burger was. The schnitzel was hot but the chips were horribly cold. We sent all the meals back and got our money back. The waitress was apologetic but the chef was not at all and seemed a bit annoyed. Like it's our fault that he can't cook! Horrible place with slow service and everything is frozen. The chef has no idea what he is doing.

The ordering and paying via QR code was convenient and service was prompt. I enjoyed their calamari and was surprised it was cut like fillets rather than the usual calamari rings. The kids ordered steak (lol) which were huge and were thoroughly enjoyed by the young ones. Didnt get to try a lot but heard the drinks were good as well as their beef curry! Parking could be a challenge so it was good we had shared cars coming here. Dog-friendly! (they offer steak for the pups)

So-so. Half of the food was great, the other half wasn't. The barramundi was tender and…read morewell-seasoned, the potatoes were very good, the greens were not good (sauteed spinach, French peas, green lima-looking beans, asparagus, green squash- it was like the chef said, "throw every green thing in a pan together and cook them all the same way despite the fact that these are individual vegetables with individually appropriate methods of preparation. Don't argue with me"), the chicken was kinda yuck. Unimpressed by the beer selection, but my G&T was great (and giant- I got the summer Gran Mare special, which is a huge G&T with two oysters on the half shell for $15). Next time I think we'll spring for the tapas instead of the full meals. The service is great- friendly host staff and attentive servers, even on a Friday night. Tons of seating, and each little nook of the place is individually styled and it feels like your table totally belongs to you, like it's "your usual table". The patio is a gorgeous spot to catch a sunset, and it's dog-friendly. Don't bring your kids unless they're exceptionally un-kid-like; some of the cocktails served are literally on fire.

Been here a few times. I'm not a vegan, but I love their vegan dishes. It's so nice having actual…read morevegetables rather than plant based meat. It's nice food that happens to be vegan, not "trying" to be vegan. I love how they update their menu seasonally, so pictured is pumpkin from one season, and eggplant from another. They are nourishing and filling. Service times for tables/ tickets if people order consecutively to split bills rather than as a whole table is a bit inconsistent even if your tickets are one after the other. But otherwise the staff are lovely and the vibes are good. I'm not a dog owner but I love how people can bring their dogs. If you come here and are a dog owner, please bring your dog (obviously outside). All my reviews are standardised to the following star ratings: 1.

Burger #229: A Burger From Down Under…read more For a $22au hotel burger, I expected a lot more. For one, I expect competent service and that was something that I didn't have much of. I feel bad for my server, honestly he shouldn't have been hired to work with the public. He had such a hard time hearing my order of "the burger, medium-rare, and a coffee with cream and sugar." I swear I had to repeat each part three times and twice he left only to come back and ask again. Any caring and compassionate person will order a burger medium-rare (or any cut of beef). It's a disservice to cows to eat their flesh cooked any higher. What's the point really? You lose fat, flavor, and have to chew for days. If you disagree with this, stop reading my reviews, defriend me, and go somewhere else to pretend you enjoy life. This all leads to what happened next; I was told that for safety reasons, they would have to cook my burger above medium. Since my server could barely tell me this, I gave up hope and didn't argue. When the burger finally did come, it looked okay; http://www.yelp.com.au/biz_photos/btM0lK-w0QT5D4mQSVURjQ?select=bkYI0pN8pyHaEYgm-N-ebg But my camera does a good job at fooling you. The meat, or meatloaf rather, had such an off-putting texture that it instantly sucked any chance or enjoying the burger away. The meat was mealy and gritty and full of bits of not meat stuff, maybe a mirepoix. Beyond that, the meatloaf patty was sad and dry. Overcooked beyond hope of being slightly juicy, this overpriced hunk of food matter cried out for help. The toppings did little to help; the fried egg's yolk was solid, devoid of any runny goodness, the "crisp bacon" lay flat and limp, and the onion jam was overly sweet. As I travel the world more, I'm seeing a pattern of foreign countries lacking the ability to 1) grind beef, 2) form beef into loosely packed disc, 3) season that beef well, and 4) cook it to 133 degrees F (56C). Oh well, America needs to be best at a least a few things right?

It's not like I'm going to be eating deep fried icecream all the time, right? We got a seat on the patio section, and ordered at the bar. Service was okay, although we had to ask for water twice (first we only had a glass, and then we had to go get a jug of water so we could actually get enough for everyone at the table). There's a pretty good beer selection, and the rest of the menu looked pretty decent. Although it's open throughout the day, the kitchen does have a break between 2:30 and 5, so it's only drinks at that time. Parking isn't too bad if you go to Canberra Centre and then just walk over.
