I did like the option of being able to order bar munchies or a full dinner. First night I dined here I ordered a steak and salad and was not disappointed. I ordered medium rare and it arrived as requested. Service was prompt and friendly. Not in the mood for a pint or bottled beer there is a full bar to assist. My hosts planned a happy hour the following night and we ordered appetizers. The chicken bites were great. The pork bites were kind of dry but were excellent to absorb the beer ;^) . Love the squid App!. All in all a nice local pub to catch a game, have bite, and a bit to drink.

The real winner for this bar is the cute outdoor area out the back. It has fairy lights (Who doesn't love those!), and the music level is perfect for chatting with friends.

It is definitely worth a visit. They do cocktails and alcoholic milkshakes! Interesting concept but I haven't tried one

Both were delicious and great for the price. After HH, I stayed for a Margherita pizza and more wine. The pizza was thin crust and tasted fresh.

It started off rather quiet for HH but began to fill as time went on. Plenty of seating options and trendy decor.

VISIT: end of February 2020…read more This was a pleasant surprise as we ate here probably every day of the 3 that we were in town. I typically shy away from restaurants that are in the hotel because they tend to be pricey. We felt, for Americans, that this was decently priced and that each time we ate here, we got a different meal FOOD WE TRIED: - Chicken and vegetable dumplings - Prawn and chive Gyoza - Arancini - 55 day aged beef brisket sliders - Seafood Risotto - Spaghetti with mussels, snapper and prawns The sliders, gyoza and spaghetti with seafood was VERY good. I wouldn't order the dumplings again, but I always forget that chicken dumplings just aren't the same as pork and/or shrimp. The Arancini was a bit disappointing in flavor, maybe just a touch more salt would have been helpful and same thing with the flavor of the Risotto. The seafood was cooked perfectly, but the sauce on it just wasn't as flavorful as I would have liked, for a risotto. Service was always great with the staff always helpful with recommendations. We were very happy to have access to this restaurant during our stay the Four Points

One advantage that it does have being in this location is that it seems to be the only pub in the area, so not much competition. It's large inside, and a pretty chilled out environment for a few quiet drinks. It's quite a posh place, and the food reflects the poshness as the meals are fairly expensive. However, the drinks are reasonably priced. I haven't been here when it's busy, so I'm not sure if it does get super busy.

The atmosphere is nice,…read morethe menu has an impressive range from venison / duck / pork belly to fish & chips and everything in between. I felt it was slightly on the pricey side, but none of us were disappointed with our meal. The location right on Great South Road is a mixed blessing as you do get some road noise, but on the flip side there is not much choice for this type of restaurant in this area so it is great to find a restaurant / bar of this standard in this part of Greenlane. We will all be back.

This girl and another staff member chatting with each other when there were empty drinks on table and I we had our plates removed with empty drinks on the table and no one asking if we wanted another - whoever owns this place lost a fortune in sales this night.

The meals are fantastic, and the portions are huge. I'm a fan of their pizza range and must say last time I had their hamburger I fell in love. It was delicious, though definitely too big for me! Even my Dad had trouble finishing it, but it's good to know you get your money's worth! Heineken is on tap at The Dominion, though the bar has a large selection of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages available, so there is definitely something for everyone. While there is plenty of indoor seating, my favourite spot at The Dominion is outside. There are about eight outside tables, two of which are really big and perfect for meals with a group of friends or the family. During summer it's great to sit outside in the heat, but even in winter it's not too bad as there are outdoor heaters above the tables too Tip: There is a room upstairs with a separate bar and outdoor area that can be hired for private functions. Having attended many 21st parties there, I can say with all honesty it is the perfect venue. Not to mention there is a curtain of fairy lights, so that's a definite bonus!

I typically go here most Sundays with my father. We turn up for an afternoon beer/coke and a snack before heading to the movies.

Usually we buy their hot chips (delicious) but occasionally we branch out and get a bigger item to share, like their nachos or wedges! I would love to go back for dinner one evening, as I've seen their pizzas and they look rather nice. Aside from their standard hot chips, their other 'snack' meals are quite large - which makes them perfect for sharing! I would definitely recommend coming here if you want a chill, relaxed vibe. Oh, and tip the musicians - we want to keep the live music coming!!
