The restaurant was packed! Looked like a pretty popular bar and restau! Food was good, though a bit pricey, i guess because youre also paying for the location and the ambiance (princes wharf and all). I ordered the scotch fillet and it was yumm!
Finally trying out Culpeper, the food is great but the service was average, it took them awhile to notice I my hand up for more water.Lemon BBQ squid taco 9/10, ($17).The flavours were super yummy, creamy from the siracha mayo and a charred smokey flavour from the squid. Thank goodness it was in a lettuce wraps which cut through all the grease. At the end of the meal my whole plate became a pool of oil.
It was great place:) i had one big share menu and 2 small one. Poke was fresh enough. the steak was soft and the taco was bit spicy but yummy. Kind staff and beautiful view:)
Food was beautiful – highly recommend the squid tacos and the beef brisket texture of the chocolate pie was super smooth and not overly sweet.
Food: 4/5The Korean spicy wings were very nice, a good crunch and a good amount of sweet, sticky sauce. The skin on the Pork Belly was crispy as advertised. The flavours worked well together. However, the dish was alot smaller than I expected, considering it was a main dish.
First of all Id like to say there were no issues with the food- we all raved about it and I personally thought the mac and cheese was perhaps the best Ive ever had. Our waitress was diligent, attentive and had no problems tending to our group of nine.The night soured dramatically however when it was time to pay. Both my friend and I had entertainment book cards, which gave us up to 40 dollars off per card and were planning to use them together to pay for the meal. When we went to do this at the end of the night, the restaurant manager flat out refused for us to do so. Initially, we tried to clarify that the discount was a combined value of both cards, but he was completely dismissive and made it clear that the only discount possible was up to 40 dollars (so 25 percent off of one card). This made absolutely no sense because the word combined in the ET book terms and conditions clearly suggests an accumulation of more than one. We proceeded to advise him that we had used 2-3 cards previously in other restaurants and that it was possible, but he had no time for this. Three of us attempted to explain further but he completely tuned us out. We ended up needing to go through the terms and conditions twice and had to linger at the counter for far too long. It became very awkward and it wasnt until after we had paid, about half an hour later that wed found the part in the t & c that explicitly stated how many cards could be used per number of people, per table.We finally got the extra 40 dollars back. There was no apology, any indication of embarrassment or acknowledgement that he was in the wrong. In fact, he barely looked at us as he roughly handed back the cash (not even directly facing my friend as he was doing so).With the restaurant industry being so ruthlessly competitive these days, no one needs to put up with such arrogant and obstinate service. Having the right management is such an integral part of making a hospitality based business a success. Often, you only get one chance to make an impression, thats it. Unless youre 1000% sure, it pays to double check with others in the restaurant before thoughtlessly stonewalling customers. Reputation is built slowly and through word of mouth after all.This really does pose the question as to how many times this has happened before and just how many groups of people had to pay more than they should have, simply due to management. What an utterly disappointing way to end what was otherwise a great night.
First time here using the First Table option. Would definitely attend here again. We also had their chicken wings which were great. The brisket tacos were the best, you have to try them BUT their Key Lime Pie was brilliant, should’ve asked for another one hahaha. The pork ribs were average, would’ve been better if they were cooked longer so the meat actually comes off the bone. The injected doughnut, we had the peanut butter, was average but was still nice.
