We were lucky enough to visit not long before a lockdown. There weren't too many patrons. A few locals added to a great Monday afternoon atmosphere. The added bonus was great beer 🍻!

Absolutely incredible - 10/10! The atmosphere was perfect, the music was great but not too loud that you had to yell, the staff were friendly and happy to help, and the FOOD!!! Aaargh! The best steak I've had in awhile and the best pepper gravy I've had maybe EVER. Insanely good!

Stopped in for a drink quite late on a week night. The front beer garden was packed up for the night so we found a cosy spot inside. Good mix of crowd here from workers to backpackers.

Really nice place to have dinner. We didn’t have to wait too long for our meals. The salmon was really good & the price was reasonable for the city. Staff are friendly especially Julie. We would come back again. Would like to see more gluten & dairy free options.
