I was part of a group of 16 who were there for a Christmas function. We had to order our meals at the bar which was a tad annoying when considering the cost of the meals thatt ranged $35 to $45. 6 from our group ordered the beef sirloin and we were all disappointed with the quality, the steaks were all " as tough as old boots", flavorless with little or no seasoning. My wife along with 3 or 4 others ordered the pork belly, again all were disappointed. The skin was soggy and again, little or no flavour. I wong bother returning.

The food was pretty normal what you would expect at a bar which was kind of great, you know what you're getting and lots there for picky eaters. Great pizza though. The service was impeccable. We were there today for a birthday and the guys at the bar were so so helpful and kind. Really great service, would recommend on that alone

Ordered chicken, poppers and salad. Poppers and chicken were fantastic. I didn't add anything to the salad (you can add chicken) and it was a large portion.

That was the most delicious crispy pork belly, amazing flavour and beautifully cooked and presented. My husband had the halloumi burger and son had kids fried chicken, all good. Service was friendly and quick (we were there daytime Friday). Recommended.

Would enjoy more if I drank beer (obviously), food varies, recommend pizza over burgers, but good priced drinks and spacious, nice staff and relaxed atmosphere.

I reiterate everything already said here. Service is great. Food needs attention. Our table ordered a lot: Chips - portions WAY too small Steak - Great Ribs - Good Burgers - Okay Salt n Pepper Squid - Great Meatballs, Sausages in platter - Okay Chicken Wings - Very Bland Pork Belly - so over cooked and dry it was inedible. Would I go again? Yes. Would I go for a dinner⦠probably not

We had intended on going to boneface, but it was as booked out, so we popped in here instead. We managed to get in ahead of the rush, but they were a bit understaffed on the day and staff were open discussing not admitting more customers (tables were half empty, but most were reserved). Ordered a few drinks and meals. We were told that the coffees might take a while, but they were actually really quick and tasted good. The meals however took so long we were considering leaving, even though the place was only half full when we ordered. Sadly the meals werenβt worth the wait. Full marks for presentation, they looked good, but something was wrong with all the sauces. My apple sauce for the pork-belly was βsharpβ and had an odd tang. My wifeβs blue cheese sauce for her cauliflower was more like a watery soup and tasted bad. Kiwis rarely complain, but this was bad enough that we asked if there was an alternative sauce since this was so horrible. No problem was the answer (great!) but when they came with the replacement, it came with a $2 surcharge?! (What!) So we declined it. This wasnβt good since the cauliflower was bland and needed something. Even the tomato sauce on the kids nuggets meal tasted weird. Thankfully the pork-belly was not too bad without the sauce and the kids ribs were tasty. Definitely some room for improvement and ways to go to compete with neighbouring restaurants, hopefully beer end of the business is good.

We went for lunch around 11am today and ordered 2 steaks, pork rib and pork belly. Pork belly and pork ribs were okay. The 2 steaks were burnt we tried to eat them but gave up due to bitter taste of the burnt steaks. We informed our waitress when she asked us about our food and she mentioned that she would let the chef know. There was nothing further after that, no offer for food replacement nor offer for refund of burnt steaks. This would be our last visit to this place.
