Good pub in the bush CBD area. Good service from the crew there and a good atmosphere inside. Food was alright went on their Parma day and the whole thing was a bit soggy to eat. Chicken wasn’t seasoned fully but the portion size was decent so good value I guess. Salad pretty ordinary but was alright.

Our lunch booking went smoothly - orders were promptly served - we had a Vegan and a Vegearian (me), and the tailored parmigiana's to meet our dietary preferences were delicious. We were served and finished within 45 minutes which met our lunch break perfectly. We'll be back again - maybe this week! Thanks Natural History for your awesome service and friendliness :-)

Service was poor. Cocktails were rubbish. Steaks were chewy even though cooked at medium rare. Was meant to have red wine jus with it, but they poored some watery gravy on top and ruined the dish. The "New York" cheesecake was worse than a Sara Lee cheesecake from Coles. Think the chef thought it was a creme Brulee and had tried flaming the top. Not sure if it's just the Wednesday night staff and chefs that's caused this experience.

The location is Collins street which is the nice one and the atmosphere was ok but the fries were burnt and the burger was too salty (probably the most salty one I’ve ever tried). Besides, their bun seems like the ones you can find in Woolies or Coles 🥲 I didn’t get the taste of fresh ingredients in my burger at all. I prefer not to try anything else here although the staff are nice people.

Interesting decor not found in eateries, a static display of taxidermy animals in a natural setting, with museum quality. Food is quite tasty but some meals are too small. Alcoholic drinks are a bit pricey.
