Outstanding service from Matty this afternoon. After a stressful day he left our table with an absolute uplift in spirits and put the biggest smile on our faces. He presented well, had outstanding customer service skills and was overall an absolute gem in accommodating my table. Will definitely be back for more positive vibes! Well done Matty!!

Ordered rib eye steak shared between 2 for $94. You get 2 extra sides in addition to the 500g steak, fries & salad. We got the broccolini in cashew cream + basil tomato salad. Tbh wasn’t expecting much from pub food but it blew our socks off. Restaurant quality, steak cooked to perfection as what we ordered. Both the sides are highly recommended. Fries were a bit blonde. Gravy was good. Cocktails were delicious. I must say pricing was quite high for a pub meal & atmosphere.

I'd only been to the Colonist once a couple of years ago and enjoyed it. Went for lunch today and had one of the best meals I've ever eaten. Coconut Chicken breast with Pad Thai rice, bean sprouts, Asian herbs in a Galangal dressing. Amazing! Fantastic service and excellent environment. I will be back

Wonderful menu, it had a nice variety and high quality delivery. Shout out to Matty who provided us a 5 out of 5 super customer experience. He is funny, caring and made sure we had the best experience. Highly recommend the Colonist.
