What User doesn't like about The Unicorn:
Ordered lunch and very disappointed with the portion sizes...! $20 for 4 prawns?! And $19 for one slice of cauliflower and a measly blob of lentils?! Come on!! Tasty enough but still hungry after clearing our plates... View all feedback. What User likes about The Unicorn:
It's not all designer looks here but downstairs in the restaurant there's a great ambience and lovely outdoor courtyard. The service is quick and the steaks are terrific. Pretty good value and if you feel like casual dining and a glass of wine or beer this is very hard to beat. It is rated very highly by Time Out Sydney for good reason! View all feedback.

The Unicorn Hotel is a fantastic place to be on a Sunday afternoon. The live jazz music is simply amazing!

Terrible staff with attitude, bar maid dropped the f bomb and just kept going. Just couldn't drop the aggressive attitude.
