I recently held a dinner for 22 people at Drum and I couldn't find any fault with the food or service! The beef cheeks were incredibly tender and the jus was absolutely delicious and full of flavor. Junya and Kylie provided amazing service.

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.

I absolutely adore this restaurant and I really should come here more frequently. I have visited twice and both times the service and food were fantastic. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, and dogs are allowed in the outdoor area. The customers who frequent this establishment are also very pleasant. I highly suggest this restaurant for a casual lunch or dinner, as well as for special occasions! Service: Dine-in
