great food and service! I wish and hoping it got busier when we left unless we chose an off peak time to come visit otherwise the experience was great
Meal was really enjoyable and service friendly and fast at both the bars and restaurant.
It was an amazing experience. The food was fabulous and staff was kind and helpful. Keep the work . Good luck
We booked in advance and still had to wait 2 hours for our food to come. It only came out after we had questioned it 3 times. Bar staff was rude, no manager stepping up. I ended up just asking for my meals in a to go box we waited that long
great irish food and drinks, the trivia night was alot of fun
We had a group Sunday lunch with friends at The General Bourke, food, service & venue was great. We were able to sit for hours, drinking eating & talking without any problem. The Beef & Guinness pie was huge & delicious. Very enjoyable afternoon, will go again!
This place is beyond redemption especially their manager. Having said that ... I'm NOT implying that their people were any better. No more next time.
Table not ready upon our arrival. Staff seemed short and annoyed about this.
Good food, service and ambience. I would go back again
The food was excellent. Even the employee/security at the entrance was friendly and guided us the right way to Bistro as we had never been there before. Highly recommend a visit if you are in town.
Staff were great. It is great to see they still have Reschs on tap.
Food was good and place was huge for a catchup with mates
Great atmosphere, comfy lounges/couches. Decent food and drinks. Would return!
Delicious schnitzel & mushroom sauce! Good selection of beer on tap
I ended up there on a meat raffle and lucky dip night. I was lucky it was still pretty quiet at the time I went since I was only out for a quick dinner and drink. I didn’t enjoy the cheese croquettes, but that came down to personal taste not the kitchen’s skill and presentation. The atmosphere was friendly and enjoyable and all the staff were nice even when it got loud.
Got the $15 lunch steak (which was small but you get what you pay for) and a Caesar (which was huge). Reasonably priced food and drinks
Even during COVID times, i had a great night out with my friend.
Food was great as was the service but I must say it was cold. You need heating though. Something to think about.
The chef must be great because the food was amazing! Thank you!
The lady behind the bar who took our orders was so lovely, friendly and professional. My only disappointment was that I ordered a steak medium rare and it was medium to well.
The service was great, the food was delicious and the wait wasn’t long.
Amazing food, service and staff. We will be back soon
Staff was friendly and food and ambiance was great 😄👍🏻
Great meal pleasant environment friendly staff highly recommended thank you
More staff required for busy periods and staff at the bar for drinks
Insufficient staff on - this was not a one off as I was there the day prior and same issue Our meals for 6 people same in 3 parts, with 20+ Mins in between Meaning we all ate separately. Not the point of a lunch.
Quick staff lunch and it went well. Food and service was fine.
The food was delicious, but the air conditioning was not good, to the point that we all had to leave early to find somewhere that had better air con. We were also a group of 15, and booked a table, but were seated at 3 different tables, which was disappointing for a team Christmas lunch. We'd go back for the food, but in cooler weather, and in smaller groups.
A little dissapointed as we booked for a table and our table wasnt reserved. Our food came back and was advised that it was Salmon but it was actually Burrumundi and the orders were mixed up.
We had a business dinner, with out of area guests, table service would be great when you have a more business approach instead of ordering at the bar.
great night had by all. Would go there again. :)
Best steak I’ve had in such a long time - and I’ve been coming every few weeks. Thank you for the amazing attention to detail.
Nice atmosphere not too crowded. Food was delicious. Desserts need improvement.
8 of us had lunch, wasn't overly busy - all food came out at different times, one meal cold and reheated instead of being replaced, then was cold by the time it came back to the table. one meal forgotten and took 45mins to arrive. Won't be back again. :(
i’m not sure if the bar staff were short or just really busy but every time we tried ordering a drink, the attendant would stop multiple times to help someone find something, or respond to another customers question which made the wait time quite long. It took nearly 9 minutes to have a Mojito made. The outside seating area needs to have more ash trays and the heaters should be scattered around and turned on instead of off and tucked away in a corner. But the food was good, the table set up was lovely and the music was good. I would just recommend the bar stocks apple juice as an option.
Book a table in advance but no table had been reserved when we got there. Food was really good.
Great food and excellent service - a fun place to go ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Hi, I enjoyed Chicken Parmigiana. It was cooked well and very tasty. I thought the music volume was a little too high indoors but it's a hotel afterall!
Lovely well priced meal. Music to loud though being played whilst dining. Having drinks can understand but not while your trying to eat Great friendly staff
Had my work Christmas Party here and we all had a great time. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Would definitely go back next Christmas.
good friendly attentive service bit disaapointed no kilkenny on tap but guiness cold and creamy menu was typical but thats what i wanted all13enjoyed night
The food was nothing to write home about. I only drank soft drink and it was terrible! I would not bother going back in a hurry
Food was overall good but we had different opinions around the table. The pizza was not rated high but the other food we had was good. Was a bit disappointing that they were not prepared to split the bill the restaurant was not busy and so I did not see the problem to take a bit of time and split the bill for us.
Staff were very attentive and polite. The food was of very good standard and overall a most enjoyable meal. Great atmosphere and pleasant surroundings with some live music in the background to set off an excellent evening.
We met up with family from out of town for dinner. We had a great night. Meals were great. Fwe found out we were there fornhspoy hour, which surprised me on a Friday night. A couple of the staff were outstanding and made the evening even more enjoyable.
Staff were very helpful and accommodating for our staff lunch, would recommend to anyone looking for place to gather with friends and family for lunch during the day or a goodnight in the evening!
Food was very nice but there is only a limited menu!! Staff were friendly but service was very slow with not that many people there!!
Thank you for your kindness, service and delicious food. The band was a little loud inside, but it was nice to be accommodated with a table.
Great food, good staff but not enough of them, need more staff on a busy Friday night, we tried to order cocktails but told they had run out of most of the ingredients, good experience overall, wouldn't take much to make it great
Was a great night. Food was great. Loved the mixed grill and the chicken schnitzels were massive and moist Staff were friendly and attentive. Will come back for more. Thank you so much.
