Update May 2017: I'm revising my 2014 review of Gryphons. The last time we went there to celebrate my birthday, we were impressed with the quality of the food and service.

Today, however, was a different story. We booked for Sunday lunch and when we arrived, the girl behind the bar told us to take a table in the restaurant. After waiting for 15 minutes without seeing any waitstaff, my husband and a customer from another table (part of a small group also celebrating a birthday) went to inquire at the bar. Apparently, Gryphons no longer provides table service and guests are expected to order their food and drinks at the bar. It's a pity the the girl behind the bar didn't advise us of this when we arrived.

Given that the staff didn't seem keen to serve us, we left. I hope the other birthday girl had a better experience than I did!

I thought this place was a pub, but it is far from it. It has really nice seating for fine dining and pub-style seating. The food was good and the staff were extremely helpful and bubbly.

Approximate cost: $26
