Hi Judy, Mark, Carlos and the team, We just wanted to send a big big thank you out to you guys. Everything was absolutely amazing. You guys went over and above to make our night run smoothly and everyone had an awesome night and are still raving about it to everyone. Firstly Carlos, you were the first person we interacted with when we came to have a look at Arcadia as a potential venue for Kyle’s Birthday. You were very approachable, happy, positive, informative and great to deal with. You showed us around the venue and we were happy to leave a deposit before we left locking in the venue for our party. You also worked at our bar on the night and you were awesome and looked after us all so well. Mark, it was a pleasure to have you support us leading up to the night and also on the night. Nothing was to much trouble for you and you accommodated all our needs as they came up. You were very attentive to our guests and contributed to everyone having a great night. A big thank you to the chefs because the food was absolutely amazing. 5+ stars all the way. Everybody loved the food and commented on how amazing it tasted and how beautiful it was presented. And lastly Judy, Thankyou so much for meeting with us and organising the run of the night. You helped us with everything we needed and worked with us when we required some changes along the way. You sorted everything out that we required from you. And it was a very nice touch when we arrived to see personalised individual place menus set out for everyone, even including Erin who had her own personal one with dietary requirements. Thank you so very much to the behind the scenes team who truly made our night unforgettable and so much so that our family and friends will be talking about for along time to come. We will be highly recommending you to others when planning future functions. Thanks guys you at Arcadia are awesome. Many Many Thanks Sally and Kyle Robinson

I was extremely disappointed with my visit to Arcadia Hotel yesterday. I made a reservation for 2 on their steak night (Wednesday). However, when we arrived, there was no staff available to attend to us or show us our table. We resorted to asking a bartender if she could help locate our table. She said we weren't on the reservation list. Another staff member walked by, asked us for our name and told us we were seated in the "back room" while pointing at it from afar. She said "You can sit here you like or go to the back room if you want, it's up to you". We went to the back room and waited there for a good 15-20 minutes. It was smelly, messy, and all the tables around us were not cleaned (see photos). No one came to take our order or even pass us a menu. Even when staff members came into the back room to serve food to other tables, they deliberately avoided eye contact with us at all cost. They pretended like they didn't see us and walked off every time we tried to get their attention. We eventually just left and went elsewhere for dinner. I'm writing this review to suggest that you make some improvements to your customer service. I understand that it can get busy and sometimes restaurants are understaffed. However, it is no excuse to treat your customers poorly. If you're fully booked, kindly let us know you're not able to take reservations past a certain number of people (like other restaurants do). It's way better than making someone come all the way there and then not attending to them. Why don't you look into hiring more people on busy nights? Or limiting the number of customers? If you get busy unexpectedly, let us know you will be with us shortly and follow through (instead of ignoring us). Maybe give us some menus first? Or take drink orders first? Anything would be better than pretending your customers are non-existent. I think the service was extremely disappointing and there is absolutely NO excuse to treat your customers with such disrespect, especially when we were only trying to give YOU business! Extremely disappointed and I hope your team incorporates some of these suggestions for your own benefit.

I've been visiting Arcadia Hotel after work and just loved the atmosphere here from the very first time. I don't normally eat at pubs because pub grub just don't do it for me. HOWEVER, Arcadia has one of the best quality ingredients I have ever had in a pub so far! I was with a group of friends on one occassion. I, the aspriring food critic, managed to get everyone to let me taste their food. To my surprise, everything was restaurant quality! The photos of the food will speak for themselves. Mouth-watering flavours! The eye fillet was juicy and cooked to perfection - 'true' medium rare is such a rare thing to find at a pub! On weekends, you'll love unwinding to live music from truly gifted duos with mesmerising vocals. The sound system here are the calibre you get at recording studios - so clear and rich in sound quality. I especially love being here on Friday after work because nowhere else does cocktail specials until 11pm on Friday nights! The staff are attentive and friendly here. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed (even by Security!) If you prefer the more elegant, clean, well-maintained pubs, then you'll have a good time here. Great place to enjoy a glass of wine or a few beers by yourself or with friends (or just make some friends.)

We attended a wedding here last night and I can’t say enough good things about this venue. The staff were sensational- so attentive and always smiling. I’m vegetarian and the lovely waitress came over to me severely times when she had a plate of vegetarian food. Something that often goes amiss at events so I was so grateful. The bar staff was so fun and really bought great energy to the space. The food here is a 10/10- this is coming from someone who is very fussy. Definitely get the mini pizzas they are a stand out! The space it self is so gorgeous with the fairy lights and all the stained wood. I would recommend this venue for any event, we had such a great night!

We tried walking in on a Wednesday and the place was packed to the brim for Wed Steak Night (Porterhouse or eye fillet for ~ $20). Made a booking for Thursday night for their Scotch Fillet at $24 and I couldn’t be happier. Nicely charred outside and soft inside, the sauce was good and sides were done well☺️ I thought that my steak paired very well with the Chapel Hill Shiraz from McLaren Valen,SA🍷 Also tried their barramundi fish and chips. Happy with it too but it was a bit fishy (I know it sounds ridiculous but we’ve had barramundi which is not as fishy). Overall, we def had an enjoyable dinner and will happily pop back soon xx

Not bad for a sticky floor pub. Generously sized meals. I like the salmon best, but the steak is really nice too. Causal atmosphere, a bit like a uni bar with plenty of pool tables, and there’s a nice rooftop bar. Great spot for a casual weeknight meal, reasonably priced and good quality food served with fine dinning presentation. Weekends are usually filled with happy 20-nothing-year-olds doing exactly what we all did, which is drinking way too much. Several TVs are scattered around so that everyone can enjoy the footy. - Hi! thanks for your response below. I was there about two weeks ago.
