Being a Sydney sider and visiting Melbourne trying the chicken schnitzel at multiple places, this one has so far been the winner. Just got the chips and schnitzel with no salad. 10/10, crunchy chips cooked in the middle correctly, chicken with a crisp and not dry. And the winner was the pepper gravy, freaking delicious. The mail exchange hotel needs to take a lesson or 2 from this place. Bit on the loud side of things when busy, but that's to be expected with an enclosed smaller venue.

We had a corporate event here last Friday. The venue was great and staff were very accommodating. The food and drinks were delicious too. I would highly recommend Hightail if you are looking to book for a function :)

In-Depth Review: Food 4.5/5 *Pasta of the Day - Gnocchi Marinated Beef - was really delightful. Soft Gnocchi, salsa Verde sauce, tender beef slices, ricotta cheese. It was very enjoyable, however, portion size was small compared to every other main menu item. * * * Value 2/5 *At $28, the portion was very small. I ended up having to eat at red rooster after to fill up. Atmosphere 5/5 *Modern casual, pub vibes with greenery strips. Warm and open feel with good natural light and outdoor area Customer Service 5/5 *Pretty good customer service with a non robotic approach, well done. Overall * Would definitely be back for drinks, definitely not the pasta. The sandwiches my colleagues got were massive man sizes, so I would definitely go for those items next time. Avoid pasta if you want to get full.

Ordered two parma’s on a Wednesday night. All round bang for your buck. Big portion and succulent chicken. Bar staff were super friendly and helpful. Blake, Jackie, Luma, Henry and Ruby are superstars in the kitchen. Espresso martini’s are a must. Thank you Hightail for a great night.

A pub that’s bustled with crowds, chatters & laughters. And Mr Burger is part of it too, during lunch hours.
