We had lunch there today. I ordered battered flathead and was told it was special. I only eat flathead so was looking forward to it. I am not sure what it was but the white wet fish was nothing like good flathead. I am now having it regurgitate in my throat it has made me so sick. Never again

We dropped in for lunch mid-week and the food was delicious, well presented and fresh. We had the $16 locals lunch, chicken schnitzel. Can recommend. Service was prompt and atmosphere was great. Will go again.

Was told there were no free tables despite their being a few left with plates waiting to be cleared, many others just chilling for the entire time we were there.
Ordered meals and waited 90 minutes for them to arrive, after 50 minutes, I followed up and those empty tables were still free. Was told by the staff it would be another 20 minutes and told me they had been telling patrons it would be a long wait - they didn’t tell me as I would have taken my wife and kids to maccas. 40 min to get a kids meal.
Food was good but service was trash.

This place is not disable friendly. We come for lunch with 9 people and 4 of them over 70 years old and one with a walking stick. They stuck us on a table with booth seat, and when asked to change tables we got rudely denied saying that the other tables were reserved. Bare in mind we came at 11.30am when it just open and we were one of the first tables in there, the place was empty at this point. Sat down and the tables were sticky, and this sticky stuff went all over our shirts and when the other table came, they had 5 people on a 10 seater table and it was just a family with their kids. While we were 9 adults, 4 oldies on a table with 8 seats so we have to fit on the booth seats. This does not make sense to me how the staff here operate.
Food came, and the seafood pasta was just full of chilli and no other taste, it’s as if they dropped half the bottle of chilli into it. We put another order thru and pay for a new meal cos they won’t do anything about the pasta as that’s how it’s suppose to be. Mind you we order two of the same pasta, and one was edible, the other was not. The new meal took forever to come. And to top it off, the disable toilet door is stuck and doesn’t close.
So if you’re coming here with oldies and have trouble moving around, don’t bother coming here.

Pizza was bland with hardly any toppings and the seafood topper sauce was bland also. The chips weren't great either, first and last time there.

Normally quite respectable but, even though less busy than usual, they really dropped the ball tonight.
Steak really over done, ordered sauce on the side but steak was drowned in it as if to hide that it was overcooked, and the side salad looked like it had been prepared the week prior and was equally drowning in dressing. Daughter thought that McDonald's fries were better than the chips here.
Burger was on point, pizza very sweet and the gluten free base was wet.

Nice meals
Had a snitty and crumbed lamb chops. Both portion sizes where huge. We also had the buffalo wings for entree and they are some of the best wings I’ve ever had.
The salad has a nice dressing.
The amenities are good.
Staff are friendly.
Would return here for a meal again.

Nicely refurbished but don't order the seafood spaghetti... the shell comes all broken and is lovely to crunch on through the whole meal 👌

Nice food but varies a bit. Pork belly was nice with crispy skin in Dec 2018 while the same thing tasted stale with a terrible chewy skin. It was horrible.
However in general I usually like their food

Netty. Was. Here. Looks simple but that’s all you need to get it right. Incredibly yummy with basic execution for $15 is spot on here! I got the Caesar Wrap but caught a look at the barramundi dish and had food envy! 🤣 still absolutely satisfied decent side portion for a cheap meal. I would love to see a herbie salt to boost up the chippies as mine were a tad plain.

Let's start with the good parts:
I ordered a herb crusted lamb rump, and it was absolutely delicious and was plated very appealingly!
The service of the bar staff was great. They were very polite and respectful.
I decided to try my luck with the raffle thanks to a kind employee going around table to table, and to my luck, I won twice off $10!
There isn't too much i can fault, but the cons:
I would find it a far more pleasant and enjoyable dining experience if your meals were brought to your table instead of having to collect it yourself.
The interior decorations were bland in certain sections.
The insides felt rather cramped, making it difficult to hear others talk.
Overall, I rate it a 4/5 experience and worth checking out for the food. If you're hoping to enjoy communicating with your company, I'd recommend outside as even weekday nights are busy!

I had a celebration 🎉 party last Saturday for 40 people and I cannot fault a thing! Everything was excellent! Everyone was very complementary on how well the venue was! The food was lovely. I had a variety of platters. No one went away hungry 😋. The staff was amazing! Nothing was too much trouble! I can highly recommend here for your next party 🎉! Thanks to all concerned ***** 😀

Haven't been for a while, but it's still a good place for meals, a drink and friendly staff.

Had the lunch time specials! Portion size was great for the price, food was served fresh/hot, service was prompt.

Had lunch, salt and pepper was ok but nothing stood out about it. Serving was of average portion, tender not chewy and nothing really negative to speak of. Was ok, just nothing to make it stand out

Had another excellent lunch there. My Ladies favourite place for steak. The service was very friendly and astute. The atmosphere is always comfortable and relaxing.

Had a fantastic experience at the George Tavern. The Thai green curry and chicken parmi were delicious, and the kids' pasta was a hit. The atmosphere is lively and welcoming, enhanced by a great selection of cocktails. Friendly and attentive service. Highly recommend for a delightful dining experience!

Got a schnitzel and cut into it and it was completely pink. Went up to the bistro and showed them and they proceeded to tell me that it was completely fine and that it was just a vein. Not happy considering I payed $23 and couldn’t eat it

Food is alright. Not amazing but ok. Reason why I’m leaving this review is because they tried to charge me $4.50 for a small glass of sparkling water. Soda water is not the same as soft drink. It’s water, with bubbles. Not impressed. Not the type of behaviour that creates loyalty.

Delicious food and a great variety of standard bar drinks and a few extra special cocktails on the menu. They also have both drink and food specials and a vegan/vegetarian/dairy and gluten free menu for those fussy family members. Nice modern tavern with a friendly atmosphere. Plenty of seating.

Booked for lunch with a few friends in Jan 23. Very clean, spacious and reasonable prices for yummy food. I was returning after a few years, I like the new look and comfortable seats. Lunch specials are affordable and good size, their chips us the best in the whole world.

Absolutely amazing salad and sweet potato chips!!!! I was able to pick a salad that lined up almost perfectly with my dietary requirements and was super delicious at the same time.
The staff were lovely and the food was ready extremely quickly.
The music was a little loud for me but did not drown out conversation.
All in all...very impressed!!
