General Bourke reviews
5 Star Review by Joshua Hulse
Great service and food quality was tip top! Have and will continue to return to this venue while I'm here for work. And as expected, a perfectly porued pint to go with the best Beef and Guinness pie I've had ever.
2 Star Review by Adrian T
This is the kind of venue that you want to love. Good decor and a nice bistro area with outdoor seating. Food was a bit of a hit and miss. The lamb and scotch fillet were amazing, on the other hand the prawn linguine and the rigatoni were average (at best). What really left a bad taste was the service... The bar person had one of the worst attitude I've ever experienced. After putting our order through, we were told by another staff that they ran out of an item we ordered. When I went up to the bar to put in a replacement order, I was told to go tell the kitchen myself because he couldn't put it through. There was no other customer waiting and there was no effort made on his part. Fine. Not a big deal. It got even worse when later on I went up to ask for some tap water for the table, I was given ONE glass and pointed to a tap at the bar. No further explanation given. Will definitely not be back.
