Great coffee and pretty good breakfast. Large portion of good eggs, lots of bacon and the rest was ok, especially given the price.

Fairly good Indian, flavoursome curries. Service ok. Expensive but dishes are large.

The "legendary" schnitzels clearly exist, so I don't know where they got the name. They were ok, fairly juicy but ordinary coating and bad chips. Breakfast here is disappointing and overpriced though, with poor service.

Pretty good pub food, the fish and chips actually had juicy fish, which has become rare. Steak was also reportedly good. Latest fitout is not as nice and open as the last but the pub is still good for a drink.

I went for a sandwich for the first time in years. It had good ingredients (mine had ham, avocado, provolone and a great tomato relish) but they no longer have the fantastic breads that they were noted for. In fact, I'm pretty sure they just use a supermarket multigrain. Coffee was good. Service was based around being cool but did the job and added atmosphere. Don't know if I'll return but I certainly won't bother with a sandwich.

Standard pub grub at ok prices. Chips were good, nachos were ok but most effort had gone into arranging it artistically - to the point that the jalapenos were all in a pile hidden behind some chips. And it needed the jalapenos as the meat wasn't incredibly flavoursome. Pub is nice and unpretentious despite being full of office-types and service was good.

Pretty good, at least for the suburbs. Wide range of pizzas, burgers, middle eastern food, etc. Service generally good and delivery efficient. It's not that good though - the burgers just seem a bit tasteless while the pizza menu is almost identical to Crust's but obviously uses greatly inferior ingredients - however, there isn't much choice locally except for many good Asian places.

Standard pub menu, standard pub prices, well below average food. Dry fish, undercooked chips, overcooked steak (the "rare" one came out medium-to-well), salad drenched in an awful balsamic dressing. The bar's ok though, standard suburban pub but airy and friendly with great happy hour deals.

I ate before I came here, based on previous reviews, but we got chips and spring rolls: the chips were soggy and the spring rolls were tasteless. Other food didn't look good either. The bar's a classic suburban pub though, although Friday night featured a low-grade lingerie waitress (who was genuinely nice to talk to) and heavy security (although they didn't interfere with getting drunk at all). Cheap beers and good service.

Dry burger. Dry fish. Looks like the food is generally very ordinary. Good service though and nice place for a local drink.
