Reviews
"I reserved a family of 19 for a grandsons birthday party, mostly children. The staff were wonderful and very helpful. The pricing was amazing for the children, and the food was delicious. I have a range of ages of children, between 12 and 1. They all ordered the $24 children combo, which included pork belly with mash for the main, banana split for dessert, and a traffic light for the drink. I have big grandsons who can eat like adults and they were full after their meal. I ordered a beautiful chicken, mushroom pasta, for $28. It was so huge that I had to give my left overs to 2 of my children who were struggling with their steak and burger meals. The facility itself was beautiful. We were near the fireplace, which was lovely and warm. Heaps of parking and nice bathroom facilities. I highly recommend this place for lunch and dinner."
"Great food with decent portions, well presented and quite tasty, meat was tender and juicy and dessert was sweet. The onion rings weren't as good as they were before which was a major let down for us, nonetheless less it was still very good."
"Regularly visit Smith & McKenzie, my go to for a Friday night drink and dinner! Always have brilliant food, the staff are great and the whole place has great atmosphere with the fantastic live music on Fridays. Definitely recommend visiting. Great local bar."
"The prices will get you good, quality food, but not the level of service or professionalism of an expensive steak house. The tables and chairs are old and dated. The decor is fine but feels cheap. Waitresses do not know who ordered what. Plates served from the head of the table, and not to individuals. No enquiring if the food is ok. No manager touch point. Drinks are not offered frequently. There is also an out of place brightly lit bar with one run down pool table without chalk and gambling machines. Do not go here expecting to visit fine dining."
"Good local spot for lunch especially if your going for steak. Yummy starters and cocktails too. Pasta was nice however found a hair which was passed off as a mushroom or mussel hair but resolved by a fresh meal and discount. A lil spendy for lunch but good food and atmosphere, service could be improved."
