After all the years I have come here and brought people to dine here I love it. But my resent experience with the in experience bar staff and the ignorant security staff. I am never ever coming back to this hotel until this useless ignorant staff are out of the way. There are more pleasant places to be.

We love this place. Food is always great, service is generally great (depending who is working), prices are reasonable for portion size. Despite being a busy place the kitchen is a well oiled machine. There is seldom long waits for food to come out. Well done on great communication between kitchen & front of house.

The staff were needlessly hostile and kicked out my friend despite him being no louder than any other patron. It was difficult to see this decision as anything other than a racially motivated decision. Would not recommend to anyone More

I am a local and the food has always been hit and miss but tonight’s meal took the cake. The special pork belly was so tough it was inedible. The crackling was soft and gooey. When I told the waitress she simply said “sorry”. So after 17 years as a Botany resident and many chances at the Waterworks I’m never going back! More

This is a great local pub, heavily patronised by the people of Botany. The bistro’s recent addition of a wood fired pizza oven has put their menu on par with the best pub grub of the area. Daily specials make week night dining affordable, Thursday Steak Night for $19 being a favourite. More
