Went on a Sunday for arvo lunch with friends. It was just after restrictions had reduced post lockdown 4. Plenty of others were also trying to catch up with family and friends that day, Smith Street was quite busy. So unfortunately by the time we ordered they had run out of oysters (on special Sundays) & were also informed some of the tap beers & wines had also been depleted. We ordered our meals & drinks & I went for the Sunday burger special - all burgers $10 & my partner & friends ordered other meals. When the food arrived all that was on my dish was the burger, I did read that it came with fries as per the normal menu but when I asked about this they stated that it's only the burger for the special. I think that this should have been spelt out on the specials menu. I ordered the fries separately at a cost of $8 but obviously a larger serve, so what would have been a $19 burger meal, with small serve of chips cost me $18 with extra chip serve that my co-diners also enjoyed. It's those little things that I find very disappointing due to the unexpected outcome of what you actually get. As stated it should have been specifically noted that this is the deal. The running out of oysters & drinks was also a let down but given how businesses are learning to deal with the virus impact I should be a bit more lenient. The burger was very nice & my partner and friends enjoyed their meals. We also enjoyed our drinks despite not having initial requested drinks available. The service was also good and I'm sure that they had full house for every 2 hour sitting. With likely a very depleted stock of food...

Attended this hotel for lunch and before I review it I would like to make a few comments. There are aspects of this hotel that are five star and there aspects that would not even rate a one star. The managers of this establishment should be taking notes from the reviews and fixing the issues as most of the reviews reflect accurately. Firstly I ordered a stock standard Parma chips and salad. The Parma and chips were cooked perfectly . The place was very clean and tidy as were the toilets. The staff were very pleasant and hard working and it was a very pleasant atmosphere to dine in. Now moving onto what I didn’t like. Other than the bit of tomato on the top of my salad the bowl was full of green stuff and nothing else. I did not like the non personal service by making you feel out that five page app. with the option of tipping the staff upfront as this is not the USA and we only tip on good service in Australia.There was-no tip given up front. I also did not like that the only way you can pay is by credit card which they offer to keep the details safe and then charge a credit card surcharge. Another reason the staff were not tipped on the order .The last thing I didn’t like was if I chose to tip afterwards I couldn’t. In this case no tip would have been given even though the staff were very nice and hard working ‘they didn’t seem very knowledgeable of the products.Over all it is a ok lunch . Would I go there again. not by choice but I went with a group and would go with a...
