The Whistler

Went here today with 3x friends at 2:05 pm. Ordered chips for starters and entrees of squid, chkn wings, pork little rib things and pork dumplings. What a let down. Chips were soggy and quite obviously microwaved. Hot in the middle, warm on the out side. Pork dumpling were cold. Calamari was under cooked and cold and the wings were from yesterdays menu I reckon. Tough, dry and chewy! Very ordinary in deed and it cost $80! Won't be back.

Updating my review as the menu has changed and the food has gone back to being amazing. We recently came back here for our anniversary after we heard the menu changed and it was just perfect. Beers, food, and staff were all great! I think the salt and pepper squid was the best I've ever had, it was so perfectly cooked. I will definitely be bringing my friends back here.

Came in for lunch and experienced excellent service, the wait wasn't long and the pork belly was excellent, as was the Normal Beer. Will definitely drop in again A++

Came to the cafe for breakfast with three friends and left the most disappointed i’ve ever been when leaving a cafe. My partner and I waited an hour for 2x cinnamon scrolls after I had to remind the staff twice because they’d forgotten about them. I ordered 4 coffees for the table, paid $7.40 for a “Mug” Iced Latte that came in a water cup when the rest of the table ordered small coffees and all had larger glasses. All coffees had requested vanilla syrup, none of them had vanilla syrup in them. One of us ordered a sour dough toast with nutella, 45 minutes later, a multigrain piece of bread the size of a small child’s hand arrived over toasted.. We were told that they had run out of bacon for one of our bacon and egg rolls, 35 minutes later, our friends ham and egg roll turned up with a hash brown that could’ve passed as a brick. I have never been so disappointed with the service and food of a cafe in my entire life.

Thank you for the awesome service and delicious food. Really enjoyed it here. The pork belly bites were so nice and crispy. Didn’t get a pic unfortunately they were too delicious lol 😂 but all the other food we had was perfect. The bathrooms and overall restaurant was clean and the staff were friendly and helpful.
