Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Went here for a meal with adult sons and girlfriends. Good basic reasonably priced pub food. They forgot one of the orders, but their response is a lesson in how all mistakes should be dealt with. Apologies, a drink and the forgotten meal, on the house. The pie apparently was delicious.
Will be back.

loving the new Grand National! I've tried most things on the menu and the food never disappoints - not your average pub meal. The flavours and presentation are sophisticated without being pretentious. It's definitely our first pub of choice in the eastern suburbs.

Nope, I really didn't like this place. Okay, being hidden in the back streets does have its bonuses, however it certainly doesn't work out for this place. In fact I really didn't think all that much of it at all. I guess it had a lot to do with the barkeep that came across as if she really didn't want me there, yet was still happy to take my money. Sure, it may be a craft beer bar, but it didn't seem to be that way for me (I really like craft beer bars). I've been here twice now and I think that is enough.

We came here for a quick lunch before a local show.
Range of food and quality was good. Kids enjoyed their fish & chips.
Was pretty quiet for a Sunday. Not a bad thing with young kids!

We had our work Melbourne Cup lunch here. The food was really good - cold meat and salmon platters for entrees, steak or fish for mains. The service was good and there was a nice atmosphere in the restaurant. A really enjoyable lunch.

I've eaten here a few times on a Monday night in recent months and enjoyed the food and atmosphere. On Mondays they do burgers for only $10, and I love that they have a bowl of steamed green vegetables, and a dish of mixed olives, for only $8 each - if only more Sydney pubs offered such (healthy) value! You can also play pub trivia on a Monday night if that's your thing. I'll be back.

The food for a pub is always at a good standard but the staff stand over you waiting for you to take the last mouthful and whisk you plate away as the fork hits the plate. Understand if we are there for dinner and a chat don't make us feel rushed. Same goes with the drinks! If we put it down it doesn't necessarily mean its finished !
Food? Bangers and mash with lamb and rosenary sausages good winter fare, rump is always good and cooked as you like it and the crispy skin salmon again another great dish.
