Very disappointed with service and food. My husband was chewing his food and found a 3cm wire in his steak. We told the waitress who did not apologize straight away, she said she would get the chef, we also asked for bill. We were left waiting for 10min for chef to finally come out and tell us it was a...

This was our third visit to the Haig (the previous 2 were some time ago). The young waitress was quite clearly out of her depth, couldn't remember who had ordered what, even though we were only a party of 5. There were not a lot of our guests. Took some time for a different waitress to take our drinks order... More

Liked - the seared scallops, garlic prawns, blue cheese gnocchi and steak. Very popular with families so a bit noisy.

Average menu and taste was very bland. Under staffed on this particular night. We ate here a few years ago but the standard has certainly slipped.

The meals here were gross. We had a 3 course dinner included in our stay at the apartments, but would definitely not choose to go there again.

I went there with my friend for a nice relaxed meal, but........ the food and service were just terrible. We were not offered any drinks at all during the evening, in fact the drinks menu stayed on the table the whole time we were there. The entree and main were very average and then the dessert came. Well, we ordered... More

Food is not worth the price. Either bland, or too oily. Dessert was the only worthwhile item on the menu and even that was something that could easily be cooked at home.

The Haig Italian has the ambience of a 1980's country cafe but they do a pretty good steak to make up for it. Service was friendly and quick, but as always with restaurants in Canberra after you have eaten, just try and flag down someone to get your bill! My husband resorted to sendng semaphore (ie crazy arm waving) when... More
