Foreshore Social — Restaurant in District of Canberra Central

I’d say my review is more like 2 and a half stars. They are purely for the two beautiful staff who happened to serve our table and the live music hired to fill the atmosphere with their lovely sound.

We were disappointed. They state they’re a cafe and bar so we thought we’d take a punt on coffee. Both mugs of latte were very milky, likely just one shot, and tasted pretty rubbish anyway. No soft drinks available other than juice. The light meals we ordered were slow and no hotdog bun for the hotdog. I generally welcome live music but here the soloist’s vocals were coming through the speakers in the ceiling in an ear piercing manner that only made the wait for the food even more painful. Service, food and drink didn’t match the...
