Service was a major issue for many reviewers. Some reported rude and unprofessional wait staff and management. One reviewer had a particularly awful experience with the manager, Sunny, who was accused of being rude and defensive. Others, however, had positive experiences with friendly and attentive staff.
Atmosphere
The atmosphere at the pub was generally considered to be welcoming and comfortable. Many reviewers praised the seating, footy or cricket games, and live music. A few noted that the pub could get busy, but overall, the atmosphere was seen as a major positive.
