Nice young lady served us, but the food was a let down. Ordered the hawker roll which was filled with the chewiest horrible brisket, with a gravy tasting sauce, not good and sent it back, ate side of chips. Friend had the pork belly, no crispy crunchy top, was just soft white. Ain’t going back… ever. Hoped it had improved from last visit years and years ago, nah.

Love this place! Went with family for Sunday roast which was amazing and it filled us up, leaving us satisfied. The drinks were super good too and it was lovely sitting next to the fireplace while having dinner.Service was really good too! They were super friendly and understanding :)

The food and prices are high but reasonable for the food you get. Kids got chicken pasta for $15 I wouldn't really give that a 5 that's more less a 3 as the chicken tasted like it was the tegals ready chicken in the square packets from the supermarket. Loved the sirloin steak with fries. (Picture below.) Had a dollop of garlic butter on top with 3 pieces of brocollini the thickness of it was huge, juicy and you can taste parts of the fat on it that was grilled, so this is worth the money. What I couldn't understand was they serve pork belly by itself just with garnish, I did have to ask if it came with any sides or that as it wasn't on the menu. The waitress had told me no just garnish and pork belly hence the reason why I went with the steak. So when you look on the menu that's exactly what you get is what is there.

First table experience:Food wont surprise. Had the pork belly bites (lacking flavour)and duck liver pate (teaspoon of pate and tripple the amont of a quince?). Mains were ok. Chicken breast was well cooked and sirloin steak as well, but not much flavour.Potato skin were more like potatoes, no truffle. Overall we were happy not to pay for the full price..Staff was nice and the place was quite busy

Service is good. Food is average though. Selected a few items from the bites menu to share. The lamb ribs were rather terrible. The fried chicken and the pork belly were the best. Prawns were nice. Sides of onion rings and flat bread quite nice and good as fillers.

Great service; did go during a very quiet time at this restaurant. The squid rings were cooked and seasoned really well but the batter wasn't very crispy! Otherwise enjoyed the rest

Ate here with my family recently and it was great. Had great service from the waitress Laura who was very accommodating to help the food requirements of one of our party. The beef burger I had was very juicy and tasty as were my cocktails. Will be back thank you!

Howick's local favourite and it lives up to its great reviews. We had a party of 6 and the restaurant was busy so it took a while to get our mains out. The presentation and tastes were good. The surprise was definitely the dessert! One of the richest chocolate dessert I've ever tasted! It was more chocolate fudge than tort as it says on the menu. Very satisfied as we walked out the door. The waiting staff were good, kept refilling our water. Will definitely be back!
