Very casual atmosphere, order food and drink at the bar. The Spicy Margarita was delicious. Sweet…read moreand spicy the way I like it! The fish n chips were delicious! The fish and batter have been flavored each so every bite is tasty! The salad has a nice sweet dressing. Just the right size for eating in one seating. Be aware that with everyone in a large party ordering separately can mean uneven servings. As long as everyone is patient it's been worth the wait! Oh and someone in our party ordered the cheeseburger spring rolls, and they were a hit!

The food was pretty good, fresh and definetly has flavor. Had the Banh Mi and it had some korean…read moreflair but the pork was a bit fatty. However the rest of my colleagues enjoyed the tacos, chicken sandwich, wings, and pretzel appetizer. The service was efficient and the atmosphere was chill and great for an afternoon work lunch

There's nothing much to speak of here. Just your standard drinks and standard food. Staff are fine…read more The atmosphere is like a lot of the Kingston foreshore: sterile and boring. It seems like the kind of place people end up at because they're on a work trip and don't know the city very well. Lots of consultants and visiting bureaucrats making dull conversation if that's your thing.

This place is very much about being seen. If that's what you're in Manuka for, then knock yourself out. If you don't like hipster douchebags barely acknowledging you at the bar, steer clear.

It's suave and different to many places in Canberra. If you want to go to a place and indulge in some conversation and a few good drinks this place is great. Particularly in summer you get the sunset over the Lake.

The ordering and paying via QR code was convenient and service was prompt. I enjoyed their calamari and was surprised it was cut like fillets rather than the usual calamari rings. The kids ordered steak (lol) which were huge and were thoroughly enjoyed by the young ones. Didnt get to try a lot but heard the drinks were good as well as their beef curry! Parking could be a challenge so it was good we had shared cars coming here. Dog-friendly! (they offer steak for the pups)

How do I love thee, let me count the ways…read more FOOD & DRINKS Get the smoked trout on rye with avocado. It comes with grilled mushrooms and tomatoes that just heavenly. The mushroom is perfect, but don't let it get cold!! The breakfast roll is also very filling, as is The Pedlar's Breakfast. The shoestring fries are pretty standard, but really nicely seasoned, and the oysters are fresh and tasty, although I'm not sold on the gin+tonic granita as a topping. Several local beers on tap, as well as the standard cocktail offerings, extensive wine list for a mostly-brunch spot. Edited to add more food: Scotch Fillet: 5/5 for tasty meat and even tastier mushroom gravy Gnocchi: 5/5 for creamy sauce, perfect gnocchi, and roasted veg (omg the BEST) Waffle-ice cream thing: 4/5 for too many ingredients (the popping candy was too much) SERVICE & SPACE Indoor bench, booth/table, table and tall-table seating, with possibility of reserving. Outdoor bench and table seating with large sunshade umbrellas. Decor is very nice, I especially love all the plants and brassy little details. There are 3 or 4 TVs inside which are usually showing sports (I've heard the owner is a basketball fan, as am I, so it's often on). Order at the bar, food is very quick, staff are friendly and professional (and their uniforms are cool). Space transforms into cool-young-dress-shirt-wearing hotspot after dark, complete with tunes and mood lighting. A nice place to decompress after work. PRICE I do balk a bit at the prices here, but the food is worth it. Beers are between 5-10 for a bottle or pint, cocktails can run you up to 20, wine prices vary based on quality.

Great vibe, good food, wine and beer to suit all tastes. Close to CBD and main tourist attractions,…read morecaters for families, highly recommended.
