Finally visited after learning they also served food, and the food was very good, interesting without being too clever, very tasty and priced fairly. Servings well proportioned, perhaps a little small if you're looking to satisfy a rugby player or two (best send them across the highway to the Pymble Pub). And of course the wines were very good. Very friendly host and team. Great addition to eating options in the area.

Mum had the eye fillet which came with mash potatoes and gravy, you can choose your side, I had the ribs with a baked potato. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. It's not like fast food where you can get a meal for $10, our whole total bill with drinks was $109, but if you want a place to go for special occasions this is the place. They have all meats i.e. pork, burgers, lamb, steaks, ribs and much more.

I guess the porch really did it for me - one of those newer pubs that deliberately created a porch where patrons could sit at with a beer in hand and either chat, or read a book if they are like me. The other thing is that they also had a decent selection of beers on tap, and that is always going to win me over.

This is a counter order and pick up kind of joint so don't expect full service. In fact I would say the service in all is pretty mediocre. We experienced rude wait staff and was miss- rung up for our bill. However, to Rocksia's credit the manager did come over to offer a free drink to my BF's Aunt which helped to ease the hard feelings. The EATS...HUGE portions. I ordered the Chicken Schnitzel and chips and had enough to take home for lunch the next day. Another plus is that Rocksia does promotions like saving your receipt vouchers for the next time you come, 2 for 1 meals. All in all a pretty decent joint and good value.

This Hotel is on my top 10 Sydney pubs, it's big with plenty of choices with wine, craft & normal beers and heaps of spirits on offer. The staff are friendly & genuinely enjoying working there, they are helpful and don't mind some witty banter. Now ..... the food ..... it's pricey... but soooooo yummy ..... they have moved up a level in both senses...... Awesome new eatery upstairs including full renovations on surrounding balcony as well as food standards & quality ...... if you want to hit the next level then I'm afraid you have to crave it first and then be happy to pay that price. I know I do ..... and will start making it a regular.

So a vegetarian burger can be more expensive than the meat/fish/chicken option which is ludicrous. The food is OK. The service is OK. Wine by the glass is expensive.

The atmosphere was very homely and comfortable. I would most definitely go back!

The best example I've come across recently is Nineteen23 in Wentworth Falls. Their 6-course (5 dishes plus palate cleanser) degustation was only $135 with matching wines, and was truly fresh and innovative. This is a welcome contrast to other options in the region, which trade on the formal and traditional styles. The chefs try to emphasise fresh and locally sourced ingredients, and the execution was excellently done. The interval between courses was ideal, and the regional wines well matched. This is a great value dinner, and I heartily recommend you try them if you can get there.

Well, it certainly stands out from the other pubs in the area, namely because it is basically a bar, and a pretty unpretentious one at that. It has a pretty nice laid back atmosphere and a great place for a quiet drink. Mind you, there wasn't a huge amount of options in the way of beers, and the outdoor seats are actually quite narrow, however I still liked the place.

The dessert tasting plate consisted of chocolate mousse with a good topping of cream, passion fruit creme brulee, chocolate brownie and raspberry sorbet.
