  Group of friends down here for Wellington on a Plate. Ambience filled restaurant bar for everyone. Kids area, outdoor garden area, seating in corner nooks, booths etc. Eclectic trendy environment with great happy staff, good tucker and beverages. Would come back here when in town.

  I have always loved the vibe here but my most recent experience with kids was quite different. Was stoked they had face painting, toys and board games available, super child friendly but the dish from the kids meal, a dragon bowl was a letdown. Firstly it was the last dish to come out even though I ordered it first to avoid hangry meltdowns and when it came it looked sooo boring! I don’t know any kids that would be excited and satisfied by chicken with a spoonful of black rice, a few lettuce leaves and carrot sticks. The chicken was tasty but there was just so little of it which was the same for all of our meals. I had a veganized burger and it was tasty but didn’t satisfy. At least I had fries with it! Same went for the tiny buddha bowl and beef cheeks, also tasty but tiny! We left feeling like we spent heaps but could go for another meal to feel satisfied. Service was friendly but disorganized. It’s a shame because apart from their meal, the kids had a great time

  Honestly one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had at a restaurant. We were part of a booking that a family member made at the restaurant and showed up only to find out that the manager that took our booking didn’t even write it down and they didn’t have a table for us. To make things worse that manager wasn’t on that night so the other manager tried to call him only to have him ignore and not pick up any calls. In the end they ended up giving us a function room but from here things only got worse. Of course I felt bad for the waitress that was serving us since it was just her waiting on 20 or more people and she seemed quite panicked but honestly the wait for food as just not on. We wearied so long for entrees and mains only to have them all bland, dry and very gross honestly the only good things we had was the water and soda the garlic bread was alright but it’s safe to say that my family and I won’t ever return. It’s such a pricey place for food like that and even the fact that the manager messed up our booking left a very bad impression on all us. It’s hard to believe how this place has 4.1 stars when it doesn’t live up to that at all. My suggestion is save your money and go somewhere else that’s much more worth than this place

  All in all the food was pretty top notch, we had the welly on a plate burger as well as a few entrees which we enjoyed. However, the service did not match this. The lady at the front of house didn’t smile once, I told her we had a booking & she just turned around grabbed some menus & started walking away so we hesitantly followed. Our waiters were friendly but as soon as we finished our drinks we weren’t asked if we would like another one, but just if we would like the empty glasses taken away. After our entrees they cleared our plates as well taking our forks, when our mains were brought out they didn’t replace the forks. Once our mains were finished not once were asked if we wanted to see the dessert menu. I may just be acting picky but the whole experience felt like we were just being rushed through.
