Mosgiel Tavern — Restaurant in Otago

Service slow to start. Showed us to table, then 10-15 minutes til brought water over & offered drinks. I had the ribeye steak. Was tasty, but there was no room on plate, so therefore steak lay over top of half the fries. Sauce should have been in a jug, not a bowl.... which took up too much room on plate. So presentation poor; & because plate was too small it made it difficult to eat. Decor drab & dark. Needs a refresh & lighten up. Very 80's/90's. Lighting not over all tables. Price....found meals priceý; in light of fact they're pub meals. Much nicer places with the meals at same or lower prices. Now I hadn't been here in a long time, & I felt I was in a time warp. So, overall, meals good, but pricey & not overall good...

Had lunch there today and we would not rush back. Food served was not as described on the menu. The waitress was the only pleasant thing although when we told her that the food was not what we were expecting she agreed and said that they had run out of some stuff. No offer of compensation even though we waited for over an hour and 2 people who arrived at the tavern after us were served their meals before us. Bad...

Went to pub at what I thought was happy hour, big mistake, bar people didnt know when it was....After checking with Manager was informed it was only Friday nights.Last year when we use to go it was Fridays and Saturday nights Ordered a Tav Platter which was disappointing as hallf the platter was a sliced sausage .Quite expensive for what it was.There bar prices are up there cheaper drinks in holiday...
