Feedback
Drum restaurant presents a mixed bag of reviews. Customers rave about the beautiful atmosphere and high level of service, particularly for larger groups. However, multiple diners were left disappointed by the food quality and service inconsistencies. While some enjoyed their meals, others found them underwhelming and not worth the price. The highlight seems to be the beef cheeks and desserts, but issues with steaks and entrees were also noted. Overall, it appears that Drum offers a lovely setting for a special occasion, but diners might want to manage their expectations when it comes to the food and service.
I love this place and should really dinate here more often. I was here twice and at both places the service and eating was excellent. they have inside and outside seats. dogs are allowed outside. the clenches that are here are really nice. I highly recommend this place whether it is a casual lunch or dinner, or a special occasion!
I hosted a 22-person dinner with it and could not fail to eat or service! the bark cakes we so tender and the jus were delicious and tasteful. junya kylie were amazing!
We dined here tonight and found the experience average for the price. The standout was the octopus entree. The octopus and pickled chilli combination was really tasty. We didn't feel the polenta added anything to the dish. For mains, we had the steak and chicken. The steak was a good portion size and tasty, but extremely chewy; our jaws really got a workout. The sauce was nice, but salty, and the carrot puree serving with the fish was quite scarce. The chicken dish also had a general portion of meat. The asparagus was tasty too. It was also salty. The mushroom side dish was two mushrooms. It was tasty, but very simple. The wine selection by glass was poor. They charge for on tap sparkling water $4pp unlimited. Note that our glasses were never topped up, even though I had an empty glass with the main meal. That is a rip off had we known they were charging, we would have asked for refills (which should be done without us requesting it). The restaurant was not busy. The ambience was not amazing and decor average. The venue did not appear wheelchair accessible, as it had almost half a flight of stairs to enter.
We had a great time at a long lunch here. Staff were excellent, great food and generous, would highly recommend for a group function. Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: A$100–120
