Foys Kirribilli Restaurant

So close to a 3 star review, food was good, drinks were passable. Decor was awkward and so was the atmosphere nevertheless, a good location with good food. The place did look like a mess hall from a school camp and when I went to pay they tried to overcharge me. Staff was also atrocious but they did their best. (1 star for location 1 star for good food) lost 3 for (overcharge, poor staff and bad atmosphere)

I booked at table for 12 (10 adults 2 kids) for Saturday lunch. I had previously been here for a work lunch 18 months ago and really enjoyed the ambience and food. Hence i was keen to be back. I cannot express how disappointed the lunch had been. Food was really poor and subpar even compared my local pub. Restaurant was only half full and i booked 3 weeks in advance. We ordered scallops for entree. It was normal. Then waited over 40 min for mains. Kitchen was too busy doing takeaways as i saw it. There were 5 fish and chips. All of them were dry and overcooked.  Crust was hard and fish  derived of moisture.  And thats not to mention how small the portion was . i thought they gave us kids meal. It was really really poor quality so much so that one of elders at the table could not finish it. We also ordered 3 fish of the day and i could overlook how small the piece of fish was if not fot the fact it  very overcooked and chewy. The rigatoni was very ordinary and toppped with some very dry and hard prosciutto. This is $34 for pasta that wasnt even freshly made Service for drinks was very slow  so it was just the nail in the  coffin here. I did appreciate the staff giving kids colouring in pencil. Manager on duty gave us the  generic answer of "ill give feedback to the kitchen". In summary mediocre pub food for top prices.  Never back again.

Service ok, not great, but ok. The waitress was 100% pushing for the most expensive stuff without even caring about what I felt like, quite embarrassing. Moreover 26$ for THREE prawns is insane. And I mean literally three, I don’t mean there were few prawns, I mean they literally gave me three and of average quality too. Super expensive for what you get, don’t go waste your money here. Maybe worth it for a glass of wine on the terrace. Not sure.
