Worst experience in Australia.
We ordered oysters ($70), seafood platter($96, too expensive for normal seafoods with normal seasoning), drinks, and pasta.
We first ordered oysters and wine, but it took 10 minutes for the wine to be placed on the table, and another 10 minutes for the oysters to be served. The wine was not even chilled to begin with, and became even warmer, which made me feel uncomfortable from the start. Additionally, the oysters were placed on the table without any explanation of their origin.
The oysters and squid were sandy and unpleasant. The pasta tasted good but was expensive at $38 for a small portion. The food was served slowly, and the young Italian staff were rude in both speech and manners. Despite paying over $100 per person for the meal, the service was below average. After finishing the meal, we tried to get the bill by putting the napkin on the table, but the staff did not pay attention to us. Instead, they focused on a seemingly wealthy man's table, ignoring us for 15 minutes until we finally had to call a young male staff member, who rudely asked, 'What?' in a loud voice when we approached him. The loud music made communication difficult, as he handed us menus even though we were clearly done eating. We are so confused and tried to tell him that we want the bills but ofc he left to chat with another costumer.
Finally, we asked a female server for the bill and completed the payment. (she was actually nice person but just didn’t pay attention to our table)
However, as we were leaving, two staff members were chatting by the narrow entrance, blocking our way. Despite us trying to move around them without saying anything, they continued their conversation without acknowledging us. Couldn't they have at least said a simple "thank you" before we left? Overall, the employees seemed to have the manners and education level only comparable to that of a...

Read moreAfter our registry wedding, we and our 18 guests walked over to print hall for our booking for drinks & food. When we got there, the lady at the front said they didn’t have our booking (despite me going in-person a month before & also calling them over the phone two weeks before to finalise our plans).
We kept telling her to check for our booking and the manager eventually came and showed us to our place, .. which actually wasn’t even the area/ section we discussed with them we would like. Our guests of 18 got broken up into booths! - which we didn’t want.
Our wedding cake (a simple one tier) which they said they would display for us on a cocktail table, was instead passed to our guests - still in the box! And our guests had to remove the cake from the box and placed it awkwardly at the end of a table.
The waiters & the food on that night itself was amazing. Laura was also helpful (especially with helping a guest who wasn't feeling well).
But in terms of planning a function with Print Hall - terrible!! It’s not a pleasant experience when you can’t trust that what you discussed with them will be delivered - especially on your wedding day :(
Because we had the wrong area/ section, we also had terrible lighting from a large window, which made it tricky to take photographs with our wedding party :(...
