★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice place, pretty good service let down by poor food.
Entree, tasteless white bean puree, served with griffins crackers for $17?
Vegetable ratatouille with undercooked veges and topped, weirdly with melted cheese.
Mussel dish lacked flavour, awash in watery sauce..and tepid
Raise your game please , great location want to come again, but give the kitchen a rocket

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Disappointing - limited options for lunch and quality has drastically fallen since the last time we were there. Garlic ciabatta bread covered in chili flakes (not clear on the menu - our 6 year old found out after taking a bite and then proceeded to drink several cups of water), warm olives $12 and from a can! Would go elsewhere in the future.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We had a fabulous lunch at The Front Room on Saturday. Tried the Sweet Potato Rosti and it was wow, loved it. That dish is now my new favourite. Also had a great coffee... They do really good coffee ☕?

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Staff took an age to take our orders and even longer for the food arrive. Portions were very small and semi cold. Quite pricey too. The beer was also luke warm. Other than that, great vibe outside on a nice day. Coffee was good.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ What a delightful setting out the back.. the food was delicious, I ordered mushrooms with bread and a side salad.. I specifically asked what the salad was and the waitress went away, came back and said it is Rocket.. I asked if I could have another kind of salad as I do NOT like rocket (who does?). My meal came back and I said that I had asked that it not be Rocket to which she replied "It's not Rocket!" It looked like Rocket and the bit I had tasted like Rocket so I think it was probably Rocket!! Why do restaurants THINK we like Rocket?? Anyway, lovely setting and food (apart from the Rocket!!)

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The salt and pepper calamari was phenomenal. So tender and cooked beautifully, and the combination of the sweetness and sourness of the pineapple and other dressings were amazing. Honestly one of the nicest meals I’ve had in a while, and very reasonably priced with a generous portion. Thanks for a great experience.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We attended the Imagination Gin tasting evening. The atmosphere was great and it was a beautiful evening for it. Sitting out in the grass area out the back with some live jazz playing it was hard to beat. Imagination Gin and their hospitality team were great but the overall service was confused and slow. We often had servers bring us orders from other tables and our orders took a long time to arrive.
The food menu was a bit sparse on excitement. For such a cool event it would be have been nice to do an event specific menu or even a simple BBQ. We would have loved some tapas or street food type offerings. They do Bao buns during the day. Some different fillings in those buns would have been great or sliders or even tacos would have gone down a treat.
Overall we did enjoy it but it could have been really spectacular. All the base ingredients were there. Perfect weather, wonderful setting and some tasty, tasty Gin. Next time I reckon this could be so much better. We look forward to the find out at the next one.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Lovely food, lovely staff. Waffles could have done with slightly more (berry and syrup) topping. Lots of options on the menu that appealed so we'll definitely be back!
