My partner and I ordered fish chips, steak and arancini and gin, peach and rose gin is good, steak and fish are fine, arancini was good but salty, we like the onion rings as well.

Lovely food and great view. Staff is superb and their beer is ice cold here. How could I say no?

The food here was amazing! We had the prawns, chicken burger and a dessert. The seasoning on the mains and starters were really good and balanced! The chicken thigh in the burger was chrispy and juicy with just the right balance of flavours. Something that didn’t suit my tastes were the sauces, in my opinion the sauces were a little sour. Overall the vibe was good and the views were nice!

Great food, tastes high quality and very flavorful. Service is very good, waiters are quite attentive and friendly. Nothing to complain about here, they also have a good selection of beers.

I wanted to like this place, but everything was just okay. Service was very flat from the three staff that were there, didn’t seem like they wanted to be there at all. Food was fine but nothing special. Batter on the prawns was way too thick so the inside was like eating glue. Polenta fries were quite wet tasting, not crispy like you would hope. Everything lacked seasoning. The building and aesthetic is the best part. Probably wouldn’t come back in a hurry.

I decided to give The Cav a 2nd chance after visiting earlier in the year, and am pleased that I did. This time the food and service was a lot better than the previous time I visited (last time entree and main both brought out at the same time, and a few tables were having issues with orders being taken, getting water etc). Tonight even though busy, service was really good, no delays in orders, getting drinks etc. The pork belly bits starter was good - I would have again. The steak main was a bit closer to medium than medium rare as ordered, but was not bad, and still very eatable. The mash and onion rings were good. I probably would have had a desert, but the limited menu for desert did not have an item that appealed to me on this occasion.

Don't really understand the high ratings for the food here. Went there at night and had basket of fries and pork belly bites. Fries were probably the worst I've every had at a bar. Looked like they were scrapped out of the bottom of the frier. Tasteless and too skinny and at $11 way over priced. Pork belly bites way too salty and again overpriced. Prices are above decent restaurant prices without the quality to match. And seriously guys why do you play music at such high volumes that you have to shout at the person next to you to have a conversation. Won't be back. Way better places out there.
