The Vicar

★ 3.4 / 5 (2590 reviews)

The restaurant experience is a mixed bag, showcasing both potential and pitfalls. While many patrons rave about the fantastic food, friendly staff, and inviting atmosphere, others recount frustrating service delays, with cold meals and understaffing issues on busy nights. The venue’s spacious layout and easy parking are advantages, yet the chaos during peak times dampens the overall enjoyment. Prices vary, generally ranging from A$40–80 per person, with some dishes earning high praise. Although there are gluten-free options and a decent offering for special events, the inconsistency in service suggests room for improvement before this spot can truly thrive.

Was User at The Vicar a mag?
I used to recommend never going into that place because it upset my sister. Recently, I sent a friend there for an annual check-up. He reported that it was dirty, expensive, and the staff were rude. He works on-site and mentioned that they often eat there on Friday afternoons. Apparently, they only clean the restrooms. View all feedback.

What User dislikes about The Vicar:
Absolutely terrible experience. We arrived at the venue at 6pm and ordered our food at 6:30pm. The final meals weren’t received until 9pm. All meals cold. No tables cleared. We complained to several staff, spoke to the manager Greg and they still couldn’t resolve it until we found Greg’s office and complained again.We won’t be back. View all feedback.

I really enjoy visiting this pub. The food is amazing, and the atmosphere is friendly. It's a great place to unwind after work with a nice cold beer. I've also had a baby shower and a christening event here, both of which were lovely. The floral decorations from @Crazy About Flowers added a beautiful touch, making the occasions even more special.

The atmosphere is fantastic, and the staff is friendly, even during busy times. Parking is convenient, and there's even a drive-through bottle shop available. I've visited a few times and have always had a great experience. I will definitely return!

My husband and I visited The Vicar for the first time last night, and we absolutely loved it! We’ve dined at several nice restaurants and bars in Sydney, and this place ranks among the best. The service was outstanding, and we enjoyed snuggling up by the fireplace with a glass of wine. Dinner at Rosa’s was simply perfect—delicious, authentic Italian food! The residents of the Hills should truly appreciate this hidden gem. The venue's design is also top-notch. We will definitely be returning!

As for dietary restrictions, there are gluten-free options available. Parking was easy to find, but the venue isn't very kid-friendly—it lacks activities for little ones. However, it does offer easy wheelchair accessibility. In terms of price, I spent around A$60–80 per person. The food was decent, scoring a 3 out of 5, but the service and atmosphere were lacking, both receiving a 1 out of 5. If I were to recommend any dish, it would be the chips. There’s plenty of free parking available.
