We had a great time. Our meal was delicious and the service was really generous and thoughtful. We were really well looked after and had a really fun night
We went on my wife's birthday which happens to be on Valentines Day. The staff went the extra mile to make our dinner/occasion about her birthday and therefore not just feeling like it was rolled into everyone else's Valentines Day malarkey. That's classy hospitality right there! Great fit-out, friendly attentive service, excellent food, fair pricing. What else do you want?
Great as always. Love the sliders and croquettes. Never have enough room to finish my main! Great Prosecco too. Try the feed me option if you want to try a few things,
Service was amazing, always with a smile and the food was delicious. I have eaten here several time or just enjoyed a drink on a Sunday evening while watching the traffic and people go by. Definitely a regular place to visit.
Great food, great service. A little echoey inside, but lovely outside. A touch on the expensive side for a suburban haunt, but still very much happy to recommend.
Great food and excellent service. Particularly loved the schnitzel and the custard sour cocktail. Atmosphere is also lovely and you can really chill out with your friends. Check it out!
The atmosphere was very good, nice decor. We were pleased with our dishes, which were well-presented and tasty. Good service, we will certainly come back.
Glad a tried it but would rush back. Taco flavours sounded more interesting than they tasted. Service was slow & disorganised. Jalapeño margarita the highlight.
Everything was perfect. Great service, lovely food. Good menu for meat lovers. Just needs a couple more choices for vegetarian and pescatarian diners. Dessert was delicious and very generous but as a chocolate lover I missed having a chocolate option. Overall really enjoyable. Great vibe. Will definitely return.
Excellent food and service. Slight issue with the bill, but was solved very quickly when identified, without any problems. The whole group very happy with the night out.
...great place with a great feel. Its a real and warm place to dine with no pretentious airs or graces. Its just another example of the North keeping it real and focusing on what dining out is all about.
Very disappointing, extremely slow service, understaffed. Manager blamed waiting staff when clearly it was a lack of staffing. Food came out at vastly different times (ie 20 mins apart for main meals). Quality of food was reasonable but relatively expensive for what it was. Disappointed as I had had previously good experiences. Unlikely to go for food again.
First time , friend & I were very pleasantly surprised. Meal & service excellent. I must say the wines were a bit on the pricey side. Overall a great place,will certainly go back.
Excellent place for an end-of-year gathering for eight of us. One of our number arrived about 10 minutes after the rest of us had ordered yet his meal still came out with the rest. Friendly and patient service, good food and beer. The acoustic of the converted warehouse or factory space mean that it is pretty noisy and challenging to talk, but that's the way in 99% of places so can't really penalise them for that. Recommended.
Lovely restaurant. The set menu was tasteful. Would have loved other menu items then the ones that were included. I would like to come again.
Amazing food, drinks and service. The pork belly and carrots are definite highlights on the menu. The Brie special was also a great affordable dish.
Best Crispy chicken ribs on the planet. We absolutely love this place, to hang after work. The only thing I would say is that the music is very loud at times, making it hard to chat with friends. If this can change, this place is pretty perfect
Food was delicious and good portions filled the spot and the atmosphere was great. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Drink prices on the average a bit on the dear side. Would go again.
such a lovely relaxed atmosphere with great music, service and delicious food. great wine list and always feel like a nice blend between a treat and your friendly local.
It was Amazing!! The staff totally rocks & prices, totally reasonable. We enjoyed the atmosphere, and love it is right at a tram stop! Highly recommend:)
As usual Stray Neighbour didn't disappoint. Great Food, Great Service. The chicken schnitzel and coleslaw was very tasty and the chicken very tender. The beef brisket was also excellent served with kohlrabi and pickles. Side dish of pan fried broccoli to round out the dish and ensure we ate our greens. Love Stray!
Me and me friends had a fantastic time at Stray Neighbour. The food was delicious, there was a great, calm atmosphere and the staff were fantastic. This is my second time coming here and I'm sure its not the last
Exceptional food. We have the schnitzel, slaw,croquettes and broccoli and it was all delicious. Actually planning to return next week to try more from the menu Service was great and the atmosphere is good
Great set up, good menu and entertainment for a suburban location 🍽 .., was surprised 😯 by our $18 surcharge tagged to our bill though??!!
Food very nice but drink very slow to come out to table would get the feed me menu again . 5 more words are needed .
Delicious food!! We had a great time. Great local spot for those in the Preston area. The beef rib was a highlight. Would come back
Best chicken schnitzel I’ve ever had! Great selection of drinks. The staff were lovely. Awesome place for a big gathering. Will definitely be coming back.
Lovely atmosphere great service friendly attentive staff fun relaxed dining enjoyable food served in a timely fashion great beers good wine we will be back
Tucked away in the back of Preston. What a venue with amazing service and food. Very casual but special at the same time. Awesome venue for a intimate dinner but also great to catch up with friends. A+ Stray Neighbour
Beer was good.Wine was good. Steak was good. But they brought out the wrong meal for my wife. She wanted a porterhouse and got belly pork. They then cooked the porterhouse but it was possibly rushed because when it was put on the table it was rare and rubbery. Also I had already finished my meal. It was our 35th wedding anniversary and was a disappointment. They did give us a complimentary glass of wine to say sorry but eating seperately didn't really make up gor it. Will give it another go sometime.
Location and parking was very easy. The whole experience was fantastic. The venue was perfect to celebrate my son's birthday withe the family. Relaxed, well priced and delicious food. Service and the overall feel of the place was also above our expectations.
Great food, great service and great atmosphere. Will definitely be adding this place to our 'regular' list ... thanks for a great night. See you soon.
Menu was too restrictive. We were not full after the set course. Could have offered another option to choose from and we would have been happy to pay more for it.
All the food was amazing, we had some smalls to share and then our own mains. Great atmosphere. Staff were accommodating when we had a late extra addition to our table of 7. Definitely will be going back.
Such as good looking restaurant and great food. Service was wonderful. Top wine list and beers to boot. We're lucky to have it in Preston!
Great food with tasty fresh produce and many fantastic beer choices. Although having a 10% surcharge just for being a weekend left a bad taste.
Excellent service, great food and a very cool fitout. We went for the feed me option and there was heaps of food. Well worth it.
Good food with plenty of range. Great selection of tap beers. Very accommodating staff who were happy to help with all requests. Helpful when organising a large group of people.
The food was fabulous and the wine delish. As with many places though, as a single diner, you do tend to be ignored a little and service is a bit slow.
Dinner was ok. Unsure whether the price matched the value though. Bit steep based on some meal sizing & quality. Won't be going back in a hurry - too much competition.
A regular favourite of ours. The food is delicious, the service is friendly and prompt and all in a beautiful setting. Only downside, we totally over order every time and never finish anything. The servings are very good size so don’t go crazy on sides.
Great food, huge variety of drinks, staff were very friends and the place had a great atmosphere. Would highly recommended a visit for either dinner or just a drink.
Stray Neighbour had limited menu options but food quality was absolutely amazing. It is really beautifully set up and a gem in the Northern suburbs
Great food and great service as always. Love the range of tap beers and all our food was delicious. Thanks for having us for my partners birthday!
I love it here - great food, great service, great atmosphere. We played pool, drank some great beers and ate some great food - especially the dessert! Chocolate ristretto taut... yummo. Two things that were odd - no kids menu or even an offer of something for kids... but more perplexing was the Saturday/Sunday Surcharge applied to the whole meal... Really!!! I don't know about that. I get you have to pay your staff extra... but 10% extra... what happens on public holidays? So I might go back but not on a weekend. I mean, at least don't charge it on the alcohol... everyone knows the prices are already tripled on them.
While still having my drink and wanted to ask for another glass. The wait staff was quick to give us the bill when I wanted to order another drink. Felt like we were rushed out of there. Food was amazing!
Lovely food as always. It did take a little while to have our order taken which was only an issue as we had a baby in the group who needed to get home! Other than that no complaints, staff are very freindly and lovely.
Heard good things about stray Neighbour. Great meal and atmosphere. Will be back to try other things on the menu. Can’t wait to try breakfast too!!
A must try. Always delicious. They have a great steak night on a Thursday
Love this place. Great menu. Must try the croquette. Will be back.
