We came out to St Andrew’s for a relaxing night.
Booking online via the website resulted in a warm personalised email confirming the booking- taking into consideration a request.
The vibe with soft upbeat music, dimmed lighting, warm and professional staff… the night started out great.
The menu was well balanced with something for a variety of tastes with both a well crafted menus with additional pub meal options to cater for a range of tastes.
We had the baked cheese entree - flavours were perfectly balanced. The lamb cutlets were cooked to perfection and the mix of flavours made our mouths just wanting more.
The pacing of the meal was well managed by staff, with just the right timing allowing for comfortable conversation.
Often at this point in a meal I wonder if we have seen the best a place has to offer with dessert often feeling like an after thought.
However the chocolate brownie … got the spot with a moistness and chocolate texture that coated the mouth m, with quality vanilla ice cream cutting through perfectly.

Keep doing what you’re doing. I...

Cudos to both 😀. Only negative (hence 4 star and not 5 star). I found the older barman/ manager rude, unfriendly and grumpy. When i arrived was not welcoming at the door. Asked me "which group"that was it. I dismissed that, then when i went to the bar later to ask for an off menu cocktail, same demeanour. "Don't know what that is, how you make it." Didn't seem like he cared. The young bartender then chimed in and said he would look it up and make it for me. Loved the drink but didn't want to stay for drinks after that. May consider coming back just in case it was a once off. Feedback to the older man is don't make a paying customer feel unwelcome or that you couldn't care less. There are a lot of great bars and pubs around Fitzroy to...
