It's a lovely space to hang out (whatever the weather's doing outside). Adorned by greenery and flowers, and with loads of natural light, the Atrium is great for dinner events, or smaller scale cocktail parties. It's a sophisticated space,...
I booked the upstairs band room area for my 60th birthday party. We had a simply brilliant evening! The food was fabulous and plentiful; the staff were delightful and very helpful – and everyone commented on what a fabulous venue it was. The room layout with the stage/dance area, central bar and adjoining lounge worked perfectly. Highly recommend!
Love a beer at the Grace Darling with its outdoor area and various rooms inside over split levels. Happy hour pints for $8 isn’t bad and this time I got a Parma, because it was Parma Tuesday. It’s either regular chicken or a veggo option. While the chicken Parma wasn’t bad, it’s certainly wasn’t great. Fairly simple and the chips lacked any crunch. Come for the beers, definitely!
We held a function for my Dad's 90th last weekend and I couldn't praise the Grace Darling more highly. The functions team were incredible (huge shout out to the brilliant Nickers), the food was absolutely delicious (and plentiful) and the staff on the night amazing. We had a family member with life threatening food allergies, and again the whole team were incredibly helpful and professional - she felt well cared for, and importantly, very safe. Just an amazing venue!
Fantastic outdoor seating area. Food is nice but it’s expensive for standard pub parmas and burgers etc. Interior is also quite nice, with quite a lot of indoor seating available. Staff are friendly and casual.
I haven’t been back to their steak night for ages .. but it’s still tasty and good. Pretty quick as well considering they were quite busy. The standard is consistent. Definitely recommend to try their steak night. One thing that I need to bring up. They need to offer more desserts on the menu Previous Review: Came here for their steak night again after my last visit 2 years ago! What a great service on our table .. We thank the girl who was looking after our table tonight. Oh and the steak 👍👍👍 Normally I go here for drinks, but last time we came here for their steak night on Thursday. It was a delicious $18 steak, chips were crunchy and the sauce was tasty. Tonight (Monday) we came here for the lamb shank’s night. $15 with the mash and another $5 with a glass of red. We ordered chips and salads to share. Very good value and outstanding services. Highly recommended
