The food is pub-grub style, but it's good value and the serves are large. Keys Bistro suffers from some drawbacks associated with suburban pubs -- the poker machines can interrupt conversation and the "regulars" use language that would be considered profane to delicate ears. In the unlikely event that you want to order wine by the bottle, you may be disappointed. The Keys Bistro is a stone's throw from the Cross Keys Reserve. In all, the Keys Bistro offers a good value proposition and I've always left satisfied.

I was a bit distracted by the noise from the Pokie area and the TV coverage of things I could bet on. The big distraction was the local men at the bar, who were known to the staff by name, who swore constantly about all aspects of their life and their interactions with others. I did feel a bit uncomfortable.
