Comments of The Paddington

First time I visited this place but my friends have been there multiple times. It has a great atmosphere, it’s big but not too noisy, the staff was very kind and helpful. They have a good wine/ drink menu. We ordered the chicken as its apparently the most famous dish, and it was. We ordered the 1/2 chicken and it came with a big portion of fries and greens. The food was very tasty. According to my friends who had the other dishes, the chicken is by far the best dish. That’s why the 4 stars. It might be a challenge if you’re not into chicken.

L. W.

I give 5 stars fairly easily but it's quality simple food done well. Been here many times and it's always good.

Awesome Sunday roast. This is our go to for reliably good food. Great service. Only wish the craft beer selection was better but that is a problem at all the Merivale places. Should have a rotating local independent craft beer tap. Then I would be there every night 😊

H. D.

Great meal! You must must must get the chicken. I’m usually not the biggest chicken person, but if there is any place to order it, it’s The Paddington. The octopus was very different to what I thought it would be like, but really really perfectly balanced and delicious. It was nice to be back in a venue with a great atmosphere after a few months of lockdown/restrictions. The service could have been a bit better, but all the people we interacted with were lovely.

S. &. S.

Stopped in for a glass of wine and a beer on tap. Great selection and love the decor.

Y. O.

Already been twice, food is always amazing. If you are hungry or big eater, you can order full size of roasted chicken just for 2. If you want to enjoy more dishes then go half and other plates for more than 3 ppl. Because it’s really popular place, service sometimes delayed. Stuff are friendly. Better to book.

C. H.

Fab setting. Fab food the cote de boeuf was one of the best I've had. My only suggestion for improving is that our first drinks arrived long long after our starters were delivered and consumed.

B. Z.

In the heart of Paddington, bring yourself and some friends for a great weekend lunch. The setting is rustic yet modern with super high ceilings. The roast chicken is a must try, you Wonder how good can roast chicken be? You'll have to try to find out. The Lamb cap is also amazing and highly recommend. Service is great and attentive.

M. A.

Don't order the lobster! It is a complete rip-off! We bought a lobster for 4 people and we ended up with literally a small mouthful for $50 each. Most expensive lobster I've ever had. The other dishes were good hence the three star rating.

J. E.

Love this place! The chicken is outstanding and reasonably priced for the quality. The atmosphere is excellent and the wait staff are very friendly and helpful. This is a great place for a good quality meal at a reasonable price, perfect for families, get togethers with friends or even small groups. Always on point, always full, book ahead if possible. You won’t regret it!

B. R. S.

Great place gor hangouts, party, gathering.

Stopped by to get away from the rain. It was packed, I was worried it was going to be a disaster, but it was not. I walked right up to the bar, the bartender acknowledged me right away. I had to wait a bit, but when she came to me, she smiled and thanked me for waiting. I ordered a beer and an appetizer, just bread and butter. There was a mix up, thankfully,and I ended up with an extra appetizer. Didn't even ask what it was, it just looked delicious! It paired well with the bread! Then had another beer and then went on my way. Based on the short amount of time I was there, and the delicious mix up, I would highly recommend it. I would definitely be back to try their full menu! Thank you!

Great experience. Amazing service. Beautiful cosy atmosphere. We had dinner here on a Wed night. I had the minute steak ($30) which came with rocket and crispy roasted potatoes. We shared a baguette basket ($6) (amazing whipped butter), falafel ($16) (approx 8 pc), octopus ($21) (sliced and cooked with some kind of grain and sauce) and a bottle of red wine ($62) (Melbourne?). My group also ordered a half chicken for 2 ($29), brussel sprouts ($16), minute steak ($30) and a snapper ($33). We were all pleased with the food. Bill came up to $253 for 5 pax. Good social distancing between tables. One of the greatest distance between tables in the restaurants that I've seen. Someone checked all of us into the system and prompted us to use the hand sanitisers when we arrived so that was reassuring. Our server was a young lady with really fair and good skin and she had a little white pearl bracelet on her wrist. She's really professional, alert and cheerful. Would have liked to say thanks and compliment her on the service but didn't get the chance to see her when we were leaving.

You are guaranteed a certain standard with food, drinks and ambience whenever you go to any of the Merivale group venues. The Sunday roast vibe you get from the Paddington Hotel is fantastic. The rotisserie chicken is awesome. The only concern was the attitude from staff. When your waiter opens a bottle of champagne and spills half of it, you expect management to fix the loss......not at The Paddington.

C. G.

The Paddington has style and ambience, and is in a great location on Oxford Street. The soft lighting keeps it relaxed and for mains the snapper is perfectly cooked, delicious and a must. Likewise the chicken rolls for entree. 🍽 As for the chicken schnitzel, make sure the chef doesn’t over cook it and be ready to chase the waiters down to order as service is not a strong point 🤷🏼‍♂️ The goods news is the cocktails have plenty of choice and it’s an easy crawl downstairs to Charlie Parker’s for a few more cocktails after dinner, as for date night maybe not the first date but date 2 or 3 for sure or group of friends anytime🥂🍹🥃

A. O.

Gorgeous place, nice atmosphere and great service, nice for a group, friends or a date. I got the whole chicken and shared with my friend, thought $50 was a bit pricey and they didn't have alternative for her being celiac. But over enjoyed it, food was delicious.

J. O.

Our family of 5 visited for dinner. The chicken dishes came highly recommended. First impression was the venue was very noisy, as we could hardly hear each other. Entrees to share were excellent. My wife and I shared a half chicken with mash and cos lettuce, a very large tasty serve easily enough for two. Unfortunately, one of the spicy chicken burgers contained uncooked chicken! Staff were very helpful though in arranging replacement food. Overall, an average experience.

E. E.

Daniel was fabulous, so friendly and upbeat and efficient! The food was very delicious and great value, would recommend for large groups

R. J.

We had lunch at The Paddington hosted by a very dear friend. Totally enjoyed the hospitality, attention to detail and friendliness of the restaurant staff. Food was excellent and the beef was cooked to perfection. Great selection of wine too. Warm, friendly and happy atmosphere. Highly recommended.

S. P.

Yum. Verging on a fine dining experience. Modern Australian. Little for the vego amongst us, but what was there was done very well.

M. T.

The burrata with peppers and olives is outstanding. If they ask if you want the baguette with it, say yes. Good sized portions for mains. Didn’t need the broccolini side, but couldn’t leave it, it was delicious! Excellent wines, need to come back to sample the whisky selection.

R. P.

First lunch out after 107 days of NSW lockdown! Food & atmosphere great. Not too expensive either. Recommended.

B. C.

Thankyou for one of the best roasts ever ... superb service and I'm still dreaming about roast and Yorkshire puddings! Top job

J. B.

The food is devine with great service, more like a restaurant than pub 👍

T. R.

Bring your wallet or sugar daddy Nice bars, very expensive chooks looks like its being renovated ?? but that's the styling they tell me, go figure

C. D.

Always great! Our server this evening was exceptional can’t remember her name but she is from NZ and her mum is from England! Food is always good and the place is cool!

L. e. e.

Great atmosphere, market is situated in the middle of padington. It still has a authentic geel to it because of the fammilies who are rhe entrepreneurs. Try the himalayan caterer would highley recommend them, very great tasting and traditional.

J. G.

An exceptional venue for great food, inviting ambiance and sensational drinks. Bring your whole family or come with a special someone. Start with a Merivale inspired cocktail in the front bar and make sure to grab a seat by the window looking into the space to round out the front bar experience. Feeling good, meander into the main restaurant and grab a seat in the back to the left, try to face out. The food is unreal and the space is visually just as delicious. Take your time, try the chicken, have another drink... Leave Happy. Come back again.

Loved it, food was so good, service was friendly and very attentive

T. T.

Amazing chicken. Really enjoyed watching the chef preparing the food.

A. W.

Delicious food, and extensive drinks on offer. Great atmosphere, especially on weekends, although the let down (perhaps and hopefully it was a one off) was the service, which was fairly inattentive and slow.

S. G.

A Welcoming place to catch up with friends and family. Chic yet cosy. The second floor (loft style) really opens up the space. Two of us have the banquet, 50 dollars each person. There was so much food we had to take half of it home. Definitely good price for value.

R. S.

Really nice place, good bar specials too. The roast chickens are to die for!

G.

Great to visit an upmarket pub that hasn't forgotten that it's a pub. You can get great pub favourites like roast chicken and lamb rump, but they are all cooked and served beautifully, with a great selection of substantial side dishes. Service is prompt and friendly. Will be back for sure.

R. R.

These guys do everything right everytime. Certainly the midas touch of dining venues. Staff are exceptional at accommodating requests. Food excellent and absolutely thrilled to find one of absolute favourite Mornington Peninsula Pinot Noirs on the wine list. 👏👏👏 Bravo.

B. S.

Great place to visit. Had a really enjoyable time with my partner.

L. L.

Great meal! In the heart of Paddington, bring yourself and some friends for a great weekend lunch. The service could have been a bit better, but all the people we interacted with were lovely.

M. C.

Had lunch at this Merivale owned Oxford St hot spot. The food was typical of Merivale. Unusual, creative, thoughtful, full of flavour, generous and frankly delicious. Service was excellent. It struck me how with the high ceilings and wooden floor the place wasn't more echoing and noisy, but it wasn't so the atmosphere was laid back and casual whilst easy to converse I a big group. Happy to recommend.

J. R. M.

Amazing vibe and vegetarian options on point 👌🏽

D. E.

When last weekend had the whole snapper so good The service 10/10

R. W.

Food is great. We got the buffet. Really nice cocktail selection.

H. W.

Awesome ambience & good staff. The menu is good, albeit a bit pricey. Also, it can get a bit squeezy at busy periods.

K.

Great place for a dinner and drinks, seems well equipped for COVID management, although distancing is slightly an issue while moving around and with the table positions in some parts. Had the half chicken and fries, it was ok. It was served semi warm and was very oiled. Had better for much cheaper also

R. L.

Not the most vegetarian friendly menu. My partner and I shared a starter and a main(cheese baguette), salad and fries. A few drinks and $200 later. However lovely ambience.

K. P.

Very nice atmosphere, food quality is on point and good value with drink on arrival for the set menu. Highly recommend

Y. S.

Juicy grilled chicken with lettuce salad 🥗 and chips. Nice and cozy inside, music was brilliant 🦄.

S. M.

Food was good, but service quite average. 90% of the standard service items (drinks order, food check, bill) we had to ask for. I even had to tap the waitress on the shoulder to ask for a steak knife. All 3 of of us had steaks! I think they are woefully understaffed unfortunately.

W. T.

Awesome roasts with great atmosphere and vibe! Family friendly!

D. F.

Actually another pretty good job from Merrivale on their pub rejuvenation. Food is good and plenty of space. Luckily managed to get a spot last minute in the run up to Xmas. Good option for things like that 👍

E.

We were there on a footy day, hadn't booked but were found a space on the balcony at the top overlooking the bar and chicken cooking area. Atmosphere was buzzing the decor is very cool. It was busy and the service, or rather lack there of certainly reflected this. We got there, ordered a drink and then waited ages to get our food ordered - the person that delivered our drinks was not able to do it and said they'd get someone, that someone took ages. Finally got to place the order, couple of us has a selection of starters to share, and one got a main. We specifically asked for it to all come at once so we could eat together. We waited, and waited, the people next to us that arrived after us got served, then the people to the other side. We kept trying to get the attention of someone but no one was paying any attention to those sitting around the narrow part. When we were able to ask, we were assured it was on its way. Still nothing, asked again - this time it did turn up...just the starters though! By this time, we had been waiting over 1/2 hour, those around us (arrived after us) had been served and finished. Finally the chicken turned up - the 2 of us having starters had now finished our meal. The poor chicken eater had to eat so fast so we could make the start of the footy game. Then, just to top it off, in the salad, metal filings of some description. Highlighted this to staff, but we had to go as we were going to miss the start. On the way out, were approached by the manager offering us a drink after the game. nice gesture, but when we did pass after the game, it was packed and they weren't letting anyone in! Overall very pricey for what it is, and our experience of service was severely lacking.

C.

Very enjoyable meal ,arrived without a booking and they managed to squeeze us in. So simple roast chicken , selection of vegetables and potatoes. Desserts were excellent as well ,10/10 for service and a fun night out with family in town

K. M.

I can't recommend this place more highly. The food is so delicious. We always have the Chicken salad and yesterday teamed it with a grilled haloumi salad. (Yes I love a good salad). So fresh and tasty. And lots of good wine by the glass. The staff are all friendly and helpful in that casual yet terribly professional way. Go for a mid week lunch, when it quiet enough to hear the great background music , heavy on the retro hits. A bit of Paddo beautiful people watching helps too....Best pub in the Eastern Suburbs.

F.

This is our Sunday night go to for Chicken and Chips, when we can be bothered cooking. Service is always good and the roast chicken and gravy is fantastic.

S. T. A.

Delicious food designed for sharing in a comfortable environment suitable for families with young children as well as grandparents. There were 6 of us so the Sunday roast special meal was perfect. And at $45 pp, including dessert, was really good value. We'll definitely be back.

M. H.

Reasonably priced gastro pub with broad appeal menu. Food is great and would definately recommend this venue for large groups as the menu is built to share. Service was OK - we were sitting upstairs, so had go and ask for menu's, and also had to go and request the bill. Funnily enough if this area was manned then we probably would have spent a lot more on the drinks.

D.

Nice roasted chicken! Service was a bit slow and prices are not cheap. The wine I had was not very good (and that for 18 dollar glass) so a bit disappointing. The atmosphere is nice, very vivid and they open till later than other places in Sydney I think.

B. E.

What a cute and cozy place! My friend and I went in after work and the staff was lovely. I had the squid, for a simple dish it was amazing! Cooled perfectly and my friend had the lamb which was cooked again perfectly. Such a good experience

K. S.

Terrific food, lovely ambience

P. G.

Been here on many occasions. Food is always delicious. Good value too. Plenty of choice on both the food and beverage menus. Has a very good vibe and music is fantastic. Great fit out too. Negatives include pretty average service (but always Everly friendly!). Can take a loooooooong time to get servers attention, and sometimes they forget... But if order is taken and remembered drinks come quickly. Other negative is some of the tables are too tightly packed in so when it's crowded it's a pain having tables moved around so people can get in and sit against the wall (downstairs). Overall a great venue, highly recommend and would give 5 stars with some minor improvements

M. M.

Wholesome food but a little too salty. Great fries. The 3 table staff were oddly inattentive and imperceptive ( but they were friendly). We had to ask for the menu. We had to ask for the order to be taken. We had to ask for cutlery. We asked for the desert menu. We had to ask for extra plates to share 3 deserts among 4. They were so inattentive it was funny - a bit faulty tower-esque.

I. M.

The much hyped chicken is brined, which makes it juicy. However, hopelessly oversalted, which makes is impossible to enjoy. It is served with hot chips and wet cos leaves. The “wet” part tastes more like water than dressing. None relieves the salt in chicken. We showed up exactly on time for our noon reservation only to be offered the shittiest table by the toilet. Never mind the restaurant was nearly empty. On the plus side: unlike the hostess the serving staff were excellent. The warm baguette served with fresh butter was delicious. The tomato salad was just as good (aside from bitter green tomatoes in it). Long story short: the chicken is not worth the price ($44!), the booking concept is unfamiliar to the hostess. Not in a rush to come back.

M. F.

Spacious cosy and vibrant. The menu includes creative and superb dishes in a centrally located venue. Good service

J. L.

Good food. love the decoration and service. Had great variety of sins and sides. great experience

J. M.

Had a beautiful ladies lunch with a large group of friends. Service was fabulous, food was incredible and the bar service impeccable. What a great afternoon we all had, thank you so much for a beautiful experience.

E. M.

Sat at the bar and had a good cocktail, fun location and friendly staff.

J. M.

'The 'Chicken Shop', as The Paddington is locally known, in fact offers a diverse and excellent selection of entrees, mains and desserts with a great wine list and some outstanding cocktails on offer. The service is first rate, the decore intriguing and the view to the kitchen from the mezzanine level irresistible. It's very popular so book a day or three in advance.' Since writing this review about 3 years ago I'm delighted to report The Paddington has continued to perform on every level making much more use of it's mezzanine level to achieve social distancing and what a lovely space it is! The food and wines remain outstanding, the staff are managing life in covid with patience and expertise. Again, 5 Stars from this long term customer.

d.

I love everything about this diner from the moment i walked in, the staff are fun, friendly and experienced! The chefs are amazing! We ordered entrees, mains and dessert loved every bite. Well done Justin :)

B. 9.

Great food until after we were served our main course. Then no one came near our table again our wait staff just disappeared ! In the end we flagged another staff member down for the bill. Not offered coffee or dessert.

J. v. R.

We had the chicken roll, which was medeocre. The roast chicken was good but not special. The beef was tender and good. We had expected more. We could see that the kitchen staff did a well organized job

L. J.

You have to go there. We’ve been there last week and we had such a good time there. We ate burrata, chicken, chips and salad and it was one of the best chicken we’ve ever had. The people working there were very kind and nice. So thank you very much for a good evening!!

R. S.

ATMOSPHERE: Very nice Atmosphere with warm dim lights and rustic decor. Welcoming and comfortable. We had a great time. The service and food is however the reasons why i wont be going back any time soon. SERVICE: This is so terrible. Had to laugh at how serious and evasive the staff were. Like playing cat and mouse even though we were in the middle of the room. They are zipping and darting around like they are busy yet everyone is waiting to be served. It took us 3 hours from seating to leaving during banquet with a few drinks and I think similar tables were in same boat. Didn't get the option of choosing my tip as they decided it upon themselves. FOOD & DRINKS: We got the banquet for $65ea which ending up being a very standard home-cooked chicken and vegetables type meal so felt very ripped off. We all joked about the food (thank god for the decent atmosphere) to make the best of it anyway. Won't be eating here again! For desert we all ate out of the same bowl with our spoons, it just felt weird, like no one has thought this through. The food was totally disjointed and there was no theme to it all. For drinks, didn't end up getting cocktails because the food was so standard. You'll find the usual selection of beers spirits and wines here. Overall, for your money, better off going to 10 williams, freds, or saint peter, which are all a stones throw from the paddington.

M. S.

We were seated at the pub area, very casual ambiance but they serve the same good food as at the restaurant. Since we were on the way back from a jog in centennial park and very casually dressed that was perfect for us. The radicchio salad is outstanding.

C. S.

The Service was excellent and the set menu was delicious (a lot of food though... I mean a lot... two desserts to end it... YUM!!!). Lives up to the Merivale Legacy. The cocktails were legendary!!! Would five it 4.5 stars if fractions were allowed.

V. B.

This hatted venue is a sure hit as evident from the swarms of people who come here for dinner or lunch. Treat yourself to some juicy roasted chicken. As a chef who worked in this restaurant I would recommend the roasted chicken main, crushed edamame dip, roast carrots and chocolate mousse which is so rich it should have it's own mansion

A. S.

Have never eaten here but have come here a few times for a drink and a 21st birthday party. The drinks are standard pub drinks but they do a great espresso martini. The pub has had a bit of a refresh so it's a good one to come to for a cheeky drink with mates,

L. H.

Great service. The food really nice, with heaps of fries and delicious chicken. If you are looking for something cheap it’s not your place but if you are looking for a good price-quality food it is indeed!!!

J. L.

Absolutely the best value meal in Sydney. Whole bbq Chicken + chips + salad , carafe good wine, sparkling mineral water and coffee for $100! For 2. Enough for 3. Great service and good atmosphere.

P. C.

The salad was lettuce leaves. The roast chicken was Woolworth hot chicken without the grease Very underwhelming

K. C.

The speciality is the rotisserie chicken, delicious and so moist, we also had the carrots which were also roasted to perfection. Great french Rose complimented the meal.

R. E.

Fabulous service , amazing food and perfect wine. We regularly take friends and guests here as we know everyone will enjoy the experience . Wonderful atmosphere to relax in, we can't wait until our next visit.

A. D.

Loud music makes it hard to talk. The food is over priced and not creative or inspiring. They do two sittings one at 6.30 pm and ine at 8.30 pm. Service was rushed inattentive. So loud iur table of six could not hold one group conversation. The toilet are down a large flight of stairs.

N. N.

Went here for a work function, the environment is great, food is lovely & the staff were fantastic! Ordered the lamb and it was cooked to perfection, all the other meals were really nice too.

K. B.

Excellent service and great food!

R. M.

Somewhat optimistically, we turned up without a booking on one of Paddington's busiest nights of the year (the Swans had been playing Essendon earlier). Luckily we got a seat! The food, wine and service were all excellent as always. Keep up the good work!

S. S.

Thank you Tim for making sure everything was perfect! The food was outstanding and we had a really fun night. Will be back!

V. T.

The chicken... Oh my god! It's a-ma-zing! The edamame and the chips that came with it were just the right combination. I could eat them non stop. Pumpkin and roast carrots were ok. ++ to shoe strings and the cocktails

J. O.

“We were the oldest people there”, I said to my friend as we left The Paddington last night. “No, there were some other oldies there”, she argued. Yes, she was right, but overwhelmingly The Paddington attracted a hip and happening younger crowd. And no wonder, it’s the latest Sydney hotel to be “Hemmesphied”. Justin Hemmes has had a terrific record in transforming bars into terrific new spaces. And it’s my feeling he’s done another great job. “You really must go”, I told a colleague this morning. “For $50 each, we shared a bottle of wine, a whole chicken, salad and chips. It was delicious, and there was chicken left over”, I added. We were lucky enough to be given a quieter spot overlooking the main serving area, as it was a reasonably noisy space. In part, because it was so damn busy. It was nine o’clock on a wet Wednesday night in Sydney, and the place was jumping. Highly recommended.

N. L.

Combo pub and rotisserie restaurant with excellent interior space - has a colonial feel to it. Top floor highly recommended. Good selection of reasonably priced inventive cocktails.

S. A.

One of the best restaurants in Sydney for a delicious and great value Sunday lunch!

S. v. d. H.

Great food (chicken was awesome) and great atmosphere

R. C.

Great food, well presented.

L. G.

Food and service was very good. A little pricey for what was on offer, but I had a really nice night.

C. S.

Nice food, I love most dishes in the menu. But service bit behind.

M. R.

I find it easier to dissect a lamb's heart than chop up their steak.

A. G.

The food was quite decent for the price and the Mars sundae was really really good. Service was exceptional with the only downside that the waiter kept topping up the water after you took one sip

C. B.

Food is excellent and the Sunday afternoon banquet menu is really good value at $55each. Service was a bit haphazard to be honest, but forgivable.

P. P.

New merivale with attention to details as all there other venues. The banquet was ok, but the chicken was the stand out. Good selection of beers and wine with a good vibe

N.

5 stars for service which was great, team were friendly and helpful. Stunning looking venue as always by Merivale. Thought the food was average and expensive for what it is. The major let down was the trout tartare

M. A.

Went there for drinks only. The sides we had with the food were delicious though and the portions of fries were huge! The charcuterie was a little underwhelming though.

E. T.

Follows the Merivale formula to a T. Which means everything is on point but the place somehow lacks soul. In saying that, the roast chicken is succulent and perfectly cooked, so if it's a cold winter night, you'll love it.

s.

Nice food, good atmosphere, but $240 for chicken and chips = seemed alot........overall good..... but wouldn't go again as menu was very limited.

A. S.

Amazing food n environment !

S. W.

Great place to hang out with friends. Good food and friendly staff. Upstairs bar/lounge is the perfect place to relax.

J. P.

More of a casual restaurant + bar than a pub... But don't let that put you off. Succulent chicken and chips. What's not to love? A great addition to the area.

D. G.

Funky old New York styled with great tap beer and a wine selection for the true wine buff. Menu will suit all taste buds.

A. H.

Great atmosphere and delicious food. Will go back

C. B.

Great place for a friendly bite to eat and a drink. Staff are always friendly and attentive, and the bartenders in the cocktail lounge upstairs are some of my favourite in Sydney.

J. G.

the newish gastro pub's renovation is very well done. The rotisserie chicken is to die for. It's very popular so best to book.

C. C.

Delicious flavors, quick service. It was a friday night and we didnt need reservation. We didnt wait for long time. But a little bit expensive

N. W.

Great venue and always a buzzy crowd. Food is really nice, but portions are smallish considering it is quite expensive.

G. S.

Great space, delicious chook, great beer and fantastic choc mousse in buzzing atmosphere All for $45/hd. Can't beat that.

j. g.

wonderful food and service great selection wine. Not cramped and noise....but was Valentine's Day

P. D.

Best chicken I have ever tasted. Great range of beautiful food and wines

S. A.

Perfect place to relax and eat good food. Thank you for the great service, we had the best night.

D. L.

Great Paddington afternoon drink spot! The Cauliflower is delicious! Great to start at The Paddington and walk your way up Oxford Street back to the city!

a. m.

Amazing as always! Great food,music and atmosphere!!

M. M.

Movie set comes to mind. This place has an incredible fit out. Matched only by the food, drinks, service and basically everything else. Great place.

J. A.

great service great food - it was on the quick side too despite the busy time! and the place was super cute!

C.

Pleasant vibe, bartending service & a House Mary with chicken! The Earl Grey tea was bland as hot water and scent free even with extended steeping.

V. G.

Was there for a private function thus limited experience but the venue, decor, ambience, atmosphere and staff are all top notch! Great experience.

M. M.

Good simple food however the price of drinks is outrageous. Basic local beers start at $10.50.

R. H.

Never fails to impress. Great food and great service. It’s a classic merivale venue. 👍🏼

T. L.

Good for a quick family dinner. In and out within an hour. Quality was good.

p. k.

Great restaurantal theatre... if you can say that, at any rate superb decore, wine & that roasted chicken is to die for!

G. K.

The drinks here are nice, I had a minor episode but it was quickly resolved! Definitely will come back for the chicken.

W. K.

Quality roast chicken, very juicy and tender. Half chicken and sides easily serves two.

A. P.

Friendly, efficient service; nice, open setting; awesome location; food great and desserts even better!

J.

enjoyed a great Melbourne cup luncheon.....disappointed no sweep !.....along with most of others attending....come on you guys it's part of the fun.

M. W.

Good menu and friendly staff. The wine was expensive. Make time for parking and a short walk.

P. J.

Rest food menu, fab location, nice fitout, French champagne by glass, reasonable prices, fast staff

L. C.

Great food and venue but servings were a bit small!

S. W.

Go here at least once every two weeks just for the chicken, it will change your life and you perspectives as to what a roast chicken should be. Worth it.

D. S.

Ok a bit hot i.e. lacks air conditioning. Renown for the chicken, but equally they do a great fish of the day

N. W.

A great little hole in the wall. I could easily have stayed and passed my time getting quite tipsy. Enjoyable place.

R. B.

Good food, friendly staff, nice ambiance. Will come and eat here again.

(Translated) Atmosphere and popular local restaurant bar As a restaurant, both are decent unusual places. Very popular among Paddington's numerous restaurants However, since it is a typical modern Australian menu, you cannot meet course meals or special menus. (Original) 분위기 좋고 인기많은 로컬 레스토랑 바 레스토랑으로서 바로서 둘다 괜찮은 흔치않은 곳이다 패딩턴의 수많은 맛집들 사이에서도 매우 인기가 높은 곳 하지만 전형적인 모던 오스트레일리안 메뉴이기 때문에 코스요리나 특별한 메뉴는 만날 수 없음
