We felt that table service would be more applicable to this type of restaurant. We sat down, waited, then we had to get our own menus, then up to get our drinks, which where brought over, then again to order our meal. Our steaks were excellent.
Surrounds lovely food was good my only complaint no coffee available not everyone that goes there drinks
The seating is cramped inside need to remove a table to give more room along windows
Lovely food, great service, amazing views especially at sunset 😍
Very disappointed with the experience. We started with drinks and were told that they didn’t have what we wanted- plenty of beer choices but not a great choice of spirits or pre mixed ladies drinks. We decided to leave and not push our luck with the dinner menu Will not return !!
Relax atmosphere, good food and the kids loved the pools nearby
Great good, nice staff, such nice views of the lake
Beautiful venue but staff were not attentive in explaining how the restaurant/ordering worked. We found our own booked reserved table inside
Great food, good service with a beautiful view. Friendly staff.
The two butterflied prawn dishes weren’t butterflied and were overcooked and dry and the rice dishes were very bland all other dishes were quite ok
Food, service and atmosphere was excellent. A bit disappointed that there was no coffee. We found the tables if the restaurant had more customerswould be too close.
Great experience lovely food stunning view. Will recommend to friends
Great food and service. Will come back if you get a coffee machine ;)
Lovely outlook. Staff were very helpful and easy to talk to.
The bar service is bad, as you only have one bar area. The other bar area is supposed to be for food order. You need to have better access to bar and food order. Also, you need to ensure that you have glasses and ice buckets ready for your 6pm bookings that come in to order. There was very long queues to order food and drinks.
Had a fabulous time. Took visitors from UK and they thought it was great, location, food, everything. Thank you
Good vibe. Great new venue by the water. $15 schnitty night is so good
The meals were fantastic. I was asks to come to another register to place the food order. Once there I was then told I couldn’t order the drinks, i then had to rejoin the end of drinks line.
Everything was great good service and yummy food a great meeting place
Great location. Tobe fair was very busy Sunday lunch. Glad we had booked for birthday celebration. Meals reasonable what some thought were poke bowls were nothing like normal. Presentation not consistent i.e. lemon on plate out of 3 barramundi fish plates. Too noisy and then entertainer started - conversation stopped we left.
Staff were very busy, learnt there jeep. All very pleasant despite volume of patrons. All cleared out by 2100... Go figure . Beautiful night
Staff lovely, venue very pleasant. Food ordinary and not many menu choices.
Ordering on your phone and having your whole order delivered at same time cuts down on staff and therefore on cost if you have a cold entree and a hot main you need to eat in reverse so main is not cold . The staff are courteous and as helpful as they can. Best to order each coarse as you go.!
The menu didn’t have to many options but location is great
All steaks ordered for the table were very dry,tough & cold. As were the potatoes on the plate soggy & cold. You could tell just by looking at the plate when they arrived the plates were visibly not ok as you could see the dryness of the steak even before you started eating it was very disappointing. All the Garlic bread rock hard and cold not edible Prawn roll had discolored (grey) and sour tasting prawns . The only edible meals were the snitzels which were hot & fresh with nice side salad Thank goodness for the music entertainment he really made our night.
Food came out quickly and was delicious but they do not do coffee! It would be lovely to sit outside on a nice day, looking out on the water, having a cuppa. Also, the inside restaurant area is very small and feels cramped, but there is a lot of sun protected seating outside on grass areas . Overall, it was a nice day out.
average food quality but nice atmosphere will probably not return
The Venue is in such a wonderful position. The service was not that great! The table next to us had a cockroach flapping under her chips liner, which was odd. Our food was actually tasty and nice, however presentation wise and finer details seemed rushed. We waited 80 min for our food, not even our bread came out, so we were starving. We will return again in hoping this is teething issues and understaffed
Fabulous location, terrible service, unfriendly staff and every meal at our table was laced with rock salt.
We ordered dessert just before 9pm and were told it was too late. This was after our main meals arrived after 8pm. It would have been helpful if we’d been told of kitchen closing time in advance. Would have been helpful if our tab covered food as well as drinks for a big group ordering.
Lovely food, friendly staff and lovely views. Worth a visit
Bit noisy for us food was good service good view good
Food took 2 hrs to arrive lovely setting but need much quicker service.
Food was nice. The new tavern is lovely. Nice atmosphere
The restaurant was very crowded and it was over an hours wait for food, There was a long line for drinks.
We were seated inside. It was crowded and very noisy with a huge screen down one end of the room which no-one was watching but was very distracting. It took 50 minutes after ordering for our meals to arrive, and the prawn dishes were soft and not fresh/tasted yukky. My husband went to order drinks at the bar and the queue to be served took 15 minutes.
Thought we would try the Tavern for an anniversary lunch and was not disappointed with the food. As the tavern has just opened they have a number of junior staff on and they are still learning the ropes but they were enthusiastic. The size of meals were generous and seasoned very well. The only disappointing thing is as they offer ‘small’ plates rather than entrees all food comes out at the one time so no rest in between serves.
Food was lovely..staff friendly. Trivia was lots of fun 👍😊
Great staff, great food. Rainy day but still nice views.
Came here for a lovely Monday lunch on the public holiday so as you can imagine it was slightly busier than anticipated. The staff were so lovely and polite. Explained to us where to order if we didn’t want to order from our table. Walked us to the table we had reserved. They were fast to get the drinks out and food not too far behind (mind you we did order slightly after 11:40am so wasn’t huge with the lunch rush yet) We will definitely be eating there again.
lacking good customer service. Had to find our own reserved table. long wait for meals.
Average service and food was ordinary. Venue could do with a good overhaul
Our 1st time there, very nice location. My Chicken Parmi was huge, cooked well and nicely presented. Hubby got the fish and chips and was happy with his meal as well.
The wharf salad (Mexican-style) was tiny and really basic. Then we ordered some brownie Sundaes which took half an hour to come out. For ice cream and a pre made brownie that’s ridiculous. The bar area is also too crowded, people don’t know they can go to the express bar. A great refurb and loads of potential but some kinks to iron out.
Food lovely, service great, definitely our new place to eat
View is amazing, staff were friendly, food was ok. Would go back for the view 😌
Lovely lunch! Meals were delicious and good sized servings with lovely views of Lake Macquarie.
Had the snitty, very good size and tasted great. Seating a bit cramped where we were but a new venue probably still working things out. Quite noisy atmosphere as really a small dining area. No need for big TV screens in restaurants area itself as there is a sports bar next door you can sit in to eat if you want to watch the TV.
Great location and improved are great but pretty bad service
Excellent customer service and great delicious food with awesome atmosphere.
