   The food took 2 hours before we all received our meal. 9 people with food delivery spread over the 2 hours

   I tried to order thought the QR code, but it kept refreshing for some reason, so after 6 failed attempts I went to the bar where they said they stopped the QR code table service because there were too many patrons. But then never told us in person, so now I'm getting heaps of pending charges on my credit card for beers I never could order, making me feel vulnerable that they will end up charging me for drinks I never received. I used to love this restaurant, but now they do the QR code, I won't trust them and never come back.

   Seating was not very comfortable as we were seated on wooden benches without any cushions or padding. There weren’t any chairs with backs on them. We had an issue with the lunch special wherein we couldn’t have our drink later rather than when we ordered.

   We went in for dinner on the way to a concert at Marvel stadium. It was a great place to get some vibe and build up before the concert. Lovely food and a really enjoyable atmosphere.

   I’d booked a standard table but got a high table which I found really uncomfortable. The food was really nice but it all came out at once. The entree and mains. There was hardly enough room on the barrel table. The table never got cleared so we sat with dirty dishes for ages while we finished our drinks. It was busy.

    Only 5 out of 8 people received their meals. The 2 meals that did arrive were over an hour late. The rump steaks were barely 100g and were not cooked to the request level.
