Royal Oak Hotel — Restaurant in Sydney

My friend and I ate at the Royal Oak Double Bay for lunch on the 24th, I had the Nachos with meat and my friend had the nachos with beans. 6 hours later we were both nauseous and had the worst headaches. I had the worst case of food poisoning and my friend was very sick too. I was unwell for about 2 days after, unable to really eat, constant throwing up and going bathroom, and super dehydrated. I understand things can be over looked, and I was never angry. I am although concerned with inability to get in contact with them, I called on the Sunday, and I also messaged their instagram, to let them know about what had happened and for them to check the quality of their dairy. I followed up a couple of days later with a comment on a picture pointing them in the direction of their DMs. I still have no heard back, and had no call back, and my stomach is still churning and I have to...

I've had a $26 Salmon Poke Bowl at the bistro and I have to say it was the worst Poke Bowl I've ever had in my life. The quantity was generous, but the food was totally tasteless. The whole dish had a slight taste of sesame dressing, but the amount of it was so small, the rice & other ingredients were almost dry. The raw salmon pieces were so large and chunky they made me gag. Besides, salmon is a fatty fish, it should never be served with avocado which is fatty too. Very unfortunate combination. Instead of serving a large quantity of tasteless food, they should concentrate on the taste. The chef should definitely try to sample the food when creating a dish. I could eat only a very small amount of rice and Eda beans and left the whole dish there. Lost $26. Besides, I had to ask the staff to clean the table while waiting...

We stopped in for an early dinner and a drink on our way home after a nearby function.

It was a warm, welcoming spot on a cool winter’s Friday afternoon, just before the long weekend.

We found a seat easily, grabbed a few drinks, and ordered food—then bumped into some friends who had the same idea.

What We Ordered: • Chicken Schnitzel – A solid pub classic. That said, I’ve had cheaper and better in lower-key pubs. It was fine, but far from the best schnitty I’ve had. • Beef Cheek Ragu Fettucine (Special) – This one was very good. Rich, tasty, and reasonably priced. A standout compared to the schnitzel.

We enjoyed a few beers, some good banter, and the casual, friendly vibe made for a great unplanned afternoon...
