What Leila Reichel doesn't like about The Forresters:
Let me start with the excellent service but really its the food that i have come here for - expecting smoky spicy bursting with flavour dishes. Ordered the jerk mackerel - the fish flavour overwhelmed any taste of the jerk and the vegetable medly was 80% rice and the vegetables were boiled so had no flavour at $22 for the vegetarian dish i felt fleeced. Save your money and go elsewhere View all feedback. What Raffaela A likes about The Forresters:
The atmoshere is very easy going and chilled. I was there on Monday for the 5 dollars steak and I I was happily surprised by the good quality of the meat; was juicy and tasty. 1 stake is enough (but if you are very hungry better order 2). View all feedback.

Came here for a quick drink and it's a nice place. Lots of different rooms to suit your fancy of type of bar.

So the ambiance is unpretentious, slightly hipster, shabby-chic Aussie pub Beers are pricey ($8 a schooey) for the ambiance.

This feels like one of the true American/fusion burger joints in the city. Their menu is basic but arguably that's what makes this place so quintessential....
