I got a reservation because I assumed it would be busy due to theatre crowd. Surprised to see restaurant was almost empty. I’d say everything was just average. Disappointed theatre menu consisted only of a cheeseburger or fish and chips or vegan option. Had a long wait for everything with showtime approaching. With service charge a cheeseburger a fish and chips and one drink (which was excellent) was over $75 pounds. Will look for other options next time.

Was looking forward to the Fish & chips afternoon tea as a birthday treat. Did tell restaurant but not acknowledged. Food was well presented and tasty. However, menus stated came with pickled egg and curry sauce, both missing, but still on the menu. Sadly we didn’t realise until we left and reflected. Pleasant server although wrong cocktail delivered it was quickly changed. Nice enough but wouldn’t recommend for a special occasion especially with 15% added for service.
Bbar and RestaurantResponded on 2 September 2024
Thank you for sharing your review following your visit. Firstly, please accept my apologies for our team not recognising the birthday celebration. This is certainly not our usual standard and I am very sorry for any disappointment caused. With regards to the menu and items not being available I have discussed this with our team and they will be taking the appropriate action to ensure this is rectified immediately. I do hope that we can welcome you back one day.

The fish and chip afternoon tea was a great idea and a much larger portion than expected. Luckily they had to go boxes as we didn't have room for all the cakes! The cheesecake in particular was really delicious!
