I went there over the weekend for an early dinner and pre-drinks, the services was slow and got our drink orders wrong, the food was below average, tasted like I was eating stale bread and cheese, then we ordered a bowl of fries which tasted like it was 3 hours old. Very disappointed.

I went there this week and the food was bad and the service even worse. I definitely won't be returning for food again as it is overpriced and poor quality.

The service is shocking. I went on a weeknight (not particularly busy) and the staff purposely ignored everyone with many walking straight past when you say "excuse me". I resorted to getting up and walking over to someone only for them to try and walk away so I was forced to literally grab their arm. Rather than pretending to have not heard me she just turned around as normal.

Even more bizarre is the night I went no one spoke German which is odd as every other time I have gone the staff are primarily German. This used to be my favourite place but after now 2 consecutive 'bad' evenings I have moved on.

The Lowenbrau is best for its atmosphere. The food is good, but the price is very high. The service was well timed and friendly. Its a fun place to visit, but be prepared to spend a lot.

Just had xmas lunch at this place, a complete disappointment. The platter for one used to look impressive and was good value, what I received was an insult on a plate for $40. Beware the so called "meat loaf", Spam in a can. All the prices have risen sharply, yet the food quality has dropped big time. I myself work as a chef, and know that its sometimes not your fault. I believe in this case its a matter of management getting greedy. Carry on ripping off the tourists, but I'll bet I am not the only regular to be disappointed.

The beer is great and the place has a great atmosphere But the food is overpriced for a basic pub meal. I paid $33 for a Pork schnitzel and all it came with were some hot chips and mayo. It's a large schnitzel but certainly not "Giant" as they call it. The meat was dry and all I really got for my money was a plate of deep fried rubbish. If you're thinking of going here for a meal look elsewhere otherwise just go for the beer.

I was really looking forward to a night at the Lowenbrau (I'm a big fan of the Bavarian Bier Cafe). I was very disappointed about the whole experience.

My husband and I went for dinner on a Thursday night and were placed in amongst large party groups. Don't get me wrong, I definitely wasn't expecting a romantic dinner however, I thought it would have made more sense to seat us elsewhere. We literally had to yell to have a conversation.

Secondly, the food was almost unedible. Yes, they were big servings, but the meat was either bland or too dry. The mashed potatoes were not creamy at all.

Finally, in regards to adcoupe's review on 6/6/11, we also had the platter for 2 which is now $79. I won't be going back to The Lowenbrau again.

Drinks are the star of this place and it's always packed on weekends so you can have lots of fun here. Be prepared to pay more for drinks though.

Pretty ordinary food. The beer is the real star at this establishment, as it should be. Well priced and very tasty indeed!

My frd and I had a nice dinner at Lowenbrau last friday nite, well this is a good place for meat but is also a little too noisy there. At the same time, it is hard to miss their fantastic beer. Well done. The service was really nice and friendly. But the food was average compared with that. Pork was too salty and the salad was just soso but we had a nice time there any way.
