Ainslie Football & Social Club — Restaurant in District of Canberra Central

Dined here at 'Limestone' on Saturday 26/5, with my wife, here's a summary and tips for others. take a jacket and perhaps gloves and beanie, as the restaurant was freezing, especially if you're anywhere near the sliding door to outside that opens every 90 secs the counters for food orders are segmented and on the opposite side of the dining area (the left) which is hidden as you walk. It is hidden and as you walk in not easy to see. There is no obvious signage as to where the restaurants are. It took about 50 mins from ordering to get our food, a chicken parmigiana and fish and chips. Given we had a 6pm booking, and attending a 7pm show, we did not have enough time to finish our meal after ordering which was annoying. I politely queried where are meals where after half an hour and was told ' another ten minutes' another 15mins no meal and I went over and asked again and was told 45mins was standard wait time and people were told this, which I wasn't. The food just ok but portion size was definitely on the small side, particularly with the fish. The 'tables' are tiny as I saw a family of three crammed onto a little round table. There was there strange chairs with metal backs that looked. I hadn't eaten here for ten years and the ambience resembles its name Limestone and is neither very warm nor friendly. it's actually dark and grey and is seperated by strange wooden walls that are neither private nor healthy and we were treated to a sick kid coughing through it next to our table while eating. Bar service was pretty slow, often one person serving a long line of customers. It seemed generally the food and beverage division were unprepared with handling a busy saturday night or understaffed. QR Code ordering signs only appear to apply to ordering of drinks, thought this was a bit strange. There are other clubs in Canberra with warmer more comfortable facilities where service is much...

Came here for 1st time in 2 years. Signed up for a year.. If your signing up for 1st time. Shouldn't you get a tour of how things work. Didn't know where too Sit. Menus no display too show you how the system works. Do we get our order taken.. There where plates n dirty tables everywhere on quiet Tuesday. Came for Partners Bday.. The Staff in Cafe and Bar where great service and upgrades on getting small drink too Larger Drink. Our Food came out we said no Fresh Chilli.. in Chicken Pad Thai.. So the chef read the docket too take all Chilli out even Chilli jam.. So it was nuts plain noddles n bits of cabbage.. And Don't get Gravy. Packet gravy from supermarkets are better. So Not sure the standard of the chefs.. But I can tell you that it was better value and service.. Not it's all glamour on outside but staff have no clue on how too treat customers or keep the business tidy. Plus when ask 2 staff what the specials are. They both said I don't know.. and walked away.. ( How about I find out for you. ) that didn't happen.. Where is the Pool table? I AM NOT SURE.. How do you train your staff on venue knowledge when there's no communication between...

My local point of contact with various mobs in my community. Always friendly, efficient lovely staff. Absolutely child and disabled friendly. A four minute walk from The Abbey. Most importantly for me they always let me play the baby grand and sing for my supper. Accoustics are splendid and I get to talk to young aspiring musicians and play music with and for them. Best way to start a mentorship programme which the club will happily invest in, what is critically important to us is always their financial priority. Older persons from nearby nursing home feel safe, secure and cherished here. Plenty of space for meetings etc. Privacy guaranteed of each and out of every window are green, green views, birds, dogs kangaroos and outside bike, cat, disabled parking widely available. The local for the first up the road, SES, and police people looking for a break So join up and celebrate the really good things in life, births and weddings or a place for a beautiful wake. Caters for us all. Love it Prices for food are excellent, vegans, vegetarians all welcome. Immaculately clean What more...
