Walt & Burley 17 Eastlake Parade, Kingston, Australian Capital Territory 2604

"Came for a nice evening out to end our holiday and have never been so disappointed. Service starts and ends when you are seated. Ordered two starters and 2 mains for a table of two and all were served at once with no apology just ‘that’s how they were ordered’. Perhaps staff should be using some commonsense both when taking orders and preparing them. So we ate cold steaks with cold sides in a rush that caused indigestion. Just pleased that we didn’t have time to order the bottle of wine we wanted with dinner, as the venue does not deserve the extra revenue. Thought we were coming to a nice restaurant, turns out it’s nothing but a glorified bistro."

"Really nice burgers and other pub food. I had the beef burger, the patty was large and moist, cheese was melted on from the grill. The burger was topped with a freshly made fried onion ring. Chips were excellent. Large selection of beers. Inside was really nice, different types of seating, couches around a fire, everything looked nice and clean."

"Lovely little cafe on the shore of lake burley griffin. We had lunch on a public holiday and were happy with the food. Plenty of seating available outside as well as inside cafe. Mushroom ragout was delicious and pasta was cooked perfectly. Beer bartered fish and chips were fresh and crunchy. Garlic bread with olive oil was much and crunchy but could do with a little more garlic butter as the one we had barely had any garlic butter. Overall not a bad place for a leisure lunch."

"The venue is a busy pub style eating experience, live music, family and obviously dog friendly. (I'll touch on that shortly) We had the parma, cauliflower poppers and the Asian style pork ribs. I wanted the lamb salad, but it was all gone by the time we ordered at 2pm. Meals to the table took 30 minutes. The food together with two wines and a LLB came to $147.00. This included a 15% surcharge, the excuse being it was a public holiday. I can't talk to the other dishes, but my ribs were solid. Moist and fall off the bone with good flavour. This came with fresh slaw and very average chips. Regarding the dog factor.. Great if you love dogs..(we observed outside areas only) If not, just be aware there doesn't seem to be any limitations of where dogs can sit including on outside benches and even tables. Finally, Our experience with staff was always polite, helpful and efficient."

"Visited the W&B for a work get together and it’s a good pub for drinking and socialising. Nice atmosphere by the lake. The food is 50/50…the burgers wasn’t great and the sweet potato fries overdone. The risotto was far too salty. I’d move onto another place for food if you’re looking for more quality over quantity."
