Pints of Kilkenny and old speckled hen around $10, so bring your wallet. Perhaps the quality of the food is negatively affected due to the touristy location.

On tap, you can get an array of locals and imports that fit your fancy. On the menu, an array of pub fare awaits your choosing. Burgers, salmon and salads come with options. After days of burger after burger, I feel a salad is up to bat and I choose a featured mixer, Moroccan Lamb Salad: major greens, avocado, special sauce, tender lamb. I put this salad in the all time salad-tossing greats list. The proportions were well balanced and the tastes mixer in unison without overpowering one another. The lamb was cooked tender and at medium well. The dressing could be compared to a light 1000-island dressing, mingled with a glimmer horseradish and balsamic. It's good to take a chance sometimes.

Was a nice place to eat outside, as it was quiet and pleasant, and wasn't too hot. Service was a bit slow as I think they were understaffed. Set menus for 2 courses was reasonable and made the choice easy, however the food was a bit disappointing for what we thought was a 'fancy' restaurant. Price was reasonable. Drink service was slow, and they probably missed out on a few extra drinks from is over the course of our meal.

I have a huge soft spot for Tilley's. Even though it opened doors only in the early 1980s, it is a…read more1950s piano bar kind of vibe. Think plush carpet, dark wood paneling, brass and mirrors, thick velvety drapes. I know this isn't quite a fair comparison, but it feels very old school LA to me (a la The Dresden, even). Yes yes, I know; I just compared a venue in Canberra to an iconic LA institution and that is crazy talk, but it's the best that I can do. This is a great place to sit and sip, with a friend or alone, at any time of the day. There is a huge variety of people here, betraying any attempt to cast it as a "scene" -- old couples, young couples, guys, gals, families, hipsters, tradies, lawyers, students working on laptops -- you name it. It's the kind of place where you'd run into people you know, and probably make new friends (at least with the bartenders). I know I'd be a regular if I lived here. Bottom line: we all know Canberra can't compete with Melbourne or Sydney in the restaurant and nightlife departments, so why bother trying to reproduce a night out in either of those two cities? A couple glasses of red wine at Tilley's will help you embrace the Canberra experience as its own thing.

If I could give this a minus 10, I would. I would not recommend that anyone goes here. 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.
