    Ordered several small and large plates for sharing amongst four of us: burrata, lamb kofta, salmon, beef, chorizo pasta, salad and chips. All was delicious. Burrata was a bit too chilled to have any real flavour … but I’m being picky in finding faults! Service was friendly and efficient.

    Thank you for your feedback! We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the meal and service. We've noted your feedback on the burrata temperature and let our kitchen team know. Thanks Jodie!

    We really enjoyed the refreshed menu - the lamb koftas and dips and pickles were especially nice. As always the wine list is a great mix of interesting and reliable offerings and the speed of service make pre-theatre dining relaxing.

    Tuesday night was excellent as usual. We have been dining at Theatre Bar since before the Wharf upgrade occurred (years before COVID) and it has never disappointed. Food quality always great and bar/table staff pleasant and efficient. The ambience is always fabulous seeing the harbour and bridge through the windows. Cheers!

    Always a wonderful experience to sup at Theatre Bar at the End of the Wharf. We all enjoyed our pre-theatre lunch from the revamped menu.

    We were very disappointed with our meal. The salmon was overcooked and tasteless It needs some sauce to improve the dish. The rice was gluggy and the wilted green unappetising. Will never choose this again.

    Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're truly sorry to hear that your meal didn’t meet your expectations. We strive to provide high-quality dishes, and it’s disappointing to know that we missed the mark with the salmon on this occasion. Your comments are very helpful, and we will certainly review them with our kitchen team to ensure improvements are made. We hope you'll consider giving us another chance in the future to provide a better experience
