Went there for dinner on a weekday and got a Beef Schnitzel. It tasted good, the sauce was free. There was plenty of seating inside and outside. 23 dollars

Was not sure where to go tonight and had checked out some hotels nearby and this place didn't look to busy so thought I would give it a try.
This place had really good service by Hannah.
We started with natural and Kilpatrick oysters followed by scallops Florentine (sorry forgot the photos of these dishes)
We followed up with roast lamb and a 300gram porterhouse.
The meals here are huge and not expensive.
I will definitely be going there again and have no hesitation in recommending it

Walked in here at 9pm to find them still serving food. I ordered the special - slow cooked brisket. Figuring I'd get the usual pub fare, I was surprised when out comes enough food for about 23 people. The brisket was so delicious I could have licked the plate if it wouldn't have lead to my stomach bursting. The service was friendly and personable and the atmosphere was just quiet enough with the beats. Made sure to tell the concierge at my hotel to send people here before I went up to my room to get the food coma started.

This place has potential, but it's major flaws are evident from the moment you walk in. First off, in 14 degrees, the doors are wide open and the heater wasn't on. When an elderly man complained they didn't turn it on but closed the doors instead. Then the food: the schnitzels were bland, with bad salad dressing and NO SALT on the chips. The biggest gripe I have is... They could be so much better! The bar and staff were lovely and chic. The look of the place is actually nice, and the beers on tap were varied and interesting. I could go there again in the future if they improved food and customer care about 20%, it's that close to being in competition with their neighbours.

The food was really good with large serves. The service is very friendly. There are lots of outdoor tables available, which are great to sit at in the nice weather. Fantastic live music and the staff generously gave us our coffees for free as a couple of items on the menu hadn't been available. The location is great being near the visitor centre, lighthouse and river with plenty of parking around. Prices are really good too.

Order medium rare steak,came out very well done, my partner ordered stout pie didn't come with chips as was written on menu, came out with two pieces of toast. Seems to be really unorganised establishment. Too many pubs to choose from in the port so we won't be coming back.

Not only were the meals amazing but the staff were lovely and they had some beautiful live music ☺️💙 total lazy Sunday vibes!
Afterwards we went for a short walk along the water 😅 honestly couldn't have planned a better day!
Featured is the Roast of the day (lamb), the chicken tacos, and beef nachos 🤤 I'm surprised the place wasn't packed out! It tastes as incredible as it looks!! Approx $20 a plate too 😅

I really enjoyed the food at this place and the environment had great energy. I got to meet both mangers who were very friendly and polite people. I would definitely recommend going to this pub on weekends where you can also do karaoke. I had a great time here and can’t wait to go again!

I loved this pub so much! I had a delicious spaghetti bolognese, the staff were SUPER friendly, and there was so much to do at this place! From claw machines, to gambling games, and hilarious signs decorating the walls, I 100/10 recommend, a must see on weekends or weekdays. Met both managers and they were so accommodating. All of their dishes were fabulous (compliments to the chef)!

If we could give a score of 0 stars for the food we would! We ordered Roast Pork which was the roast of the day. Told it was tender and the crackle delicious. What came was slices of dry roast Pork on roast potatoes and covered in what tasted like ‘butter chicken sauce’. There was no crackle but if there was it would have been smothered in this sauce anyway! This was not a ‘roast of the day’ but leftover Pork disguised with butter chicken sauce! Bloody horrible!!! As it was we had to wait about 45mins and it was so bad that we left most of it on our plates and walked out. We did tell the barman our issue - his response was he too thought it looked “weird”. No offer of money back ( we wouldn’t have accepted just really wanted to give them the feedback)
All in all we would never go back there for a meal again. Bar service was good shame about the cook!!! Music was good too.

Have always found this pub hit and miss. Awkward shape but this time there was a sandpit in the front bar with mini table tennis... Loved it. Didn't get a chance to have food but good range of drinks for reasonable prices. Quirky but fun

Had lunch at this pub and it was fabulous. We were welcomed by Bec. The food was excellent and delicious. We always have a bottle of wine with our lunch. Here we had an excellent Adelaide Hills wine for $25 - less than one half of the price at many of the other local venues. Also, they were playing some great Aussie music in the background.

Great place for sitting outside on a pleasant day. You will need to be patient for the meals ( well it was Cup day) but it is worth the wait. Staff were very friendly.

Good for a drink, but don’t eat here.
As we arrived there was live music on, which we thought would be a nice addition. Shortly after sitting down we realised how loud the music was, and even sitting at the furthest away table outside, we could barely manage a conversation.
If you want to walk inside you need to walk directly past the speaker, which definitely hurt your eardrums.
We ordered our food and were told there was a wait. No problem at all.
We watched food come out to the 4 tables before us and they all had issues. Whether it was gravy being forgotten, or whole orders being forgotten.
When our food came out, the chicken masala was chicken in a tomato purée. No curry powders or spices to be heard of.
The garlic bread was covered in salt, so bad it was inedible. The schnitzel was fine, but chips were cooked until rock hard and the salad was lettuce and cucumber only.
We had one dish forgotten, and when chased up the poor FOH lady had to chase it up for us multiple times.
1.5 hours after ordering we decided to give up, when it was just ready and they had put it in a takeaway, after we agreed a refund would be better.
I feel very sorry for the FOH girls who are the face of the venue. Rightly so, they were very embarrassed about our experience.
Management needs to look at how this venue is run.

Excellent burger. A few good craft beers on tap. The pub has had a nice makeover since we were last in there. Will go back.
Did go back and had a nice pizza.

Absolutely amazing food!! We came as a company, NZ, and ate here for a few weeks catered. Adam, the manager, is excellent at what he does. Thanks so much for the wonderful service

3Nov2022 Dinner for two. Quiet Thurs evening at the dining side of hotel which opens at 5.30pm. Very friendly & efficient waitress. Small menu selection at slightly above standard prices. We had the beef panko schnitzels with gravy on side (best ever) which was absolutely delicious but with a very small side serve of chips. Other meals coming out also looked delicious, including the generous rib-eye on the bone at $48 and S&P squid. Pleasant quirky decor showcasing stunning photo's of the historic hotel and streetscapes. Nice outdoor dining area with plenty of seating. Minor observation with inside chairs needing an upgrade as some were a little rickety and unstable. Otherwise the kitchen staff are efficiently skilled taking pride in food quality and delivery. Recommend a visit (review is for food served at the bistro bar facing Commercial Road).
