This place has a pub- like vibe and plays the footy and sports on TV. Drinks are a reasonable price and it's an alright spot for a pre-drinks sort of venue

Nice bar for a few casual drinks with friends. Heaps of other places close by for Kick On's. Footy and other sports are played in the front room

This place is one of those relaxed modern, yet classy venues. The front bar is perfect for a casual drink whilst waiting for people. It has an open layout like a sports bar. Further back is the dining area. The menu is upper class pub so expect plates along the lines of cured salmon, pulled pork fritters and duck cigars as starters, barramundi, braised beef cheeks and steamed mussels as mains.

I really like this bar. Its has an open space feel and the layout is good. You can book the back section out if you are having a private function which is good. I like that its not too dark and has that pub feel with TV's but it is classy at the same time.
The staff seem cool and the nibbles are yum too.

Approximate cost: $20

A won a competition giving me a $100 voucher to The Wolf and I.
I checked their website to see the menu a few times & thought it seemed pretty good I can usually tell if the food at a restaurant is going to be good by their menu & pictures of the food. I made a booking for a Friday night and took my mother as a treat.
It's a difficult place to find a park on the street but we found one in a car park that didn't cost anything and wasn't too far away :)
So parked and went in to the pub/restaurant. I was nervous at first because it was more pub like than restaurant and extremely noisy inside ( and out)
We went in down the back where the restaurant part was and had a look at the menu which was the same one on their website.
I thought about having a cocktail but I declined and being not much of a wine or beer drinker & I didn't see cider on the drinks menu I didn't order a beverage at all and stuck with the water. Mum just ordered a diet coke which she seemed very quick to devour.
We ordered the chicken terrine to share with home baked bread
We really enjoyed this dish & the presentation was outstanding,colorful & beautiful to look at like a painting. We were both very impressed. I kept telling my mother see I told you the food would be good. It tasted delicious too.
Now here's where I made the mistake of not listening to my gut feeling I ordered a rare fillet of steak nicely charred on the outside but was lacking seasoning and with a bernaise sauce also extremely lacking seasoning I should have ordered some other dishes to share.
Mum enjoyed her dish of gnocchi with a sweet corn sauce,spring onions and sage butter. They also have the usual pub fair ie burgers, parmas,fish & chips (probably much yummier & more exciting than your usual pub meal though and unique and tasty dishes such as FLOUNDER SHOOTING STAR
(STJERNESKUD)
Danish rye bread, salad leaves, marie rose dressing, shrimps, flying fish roe (lumpfish roe), asparagus which I am thinking maybe I'll order next time.
The ladies next to me ordered around 4 dishes which they shared I was envious of them the food looked seriously stunning that's ok We will order them next time we come.
For dessert I had the pavalova mascarpone vanilla mousse and fresh berries and kiwi delish. Mum ordered a bailey's creme brulee with (housemade) licorice icecream.
All in all we were very impressed chairs were a not very comfortable and the place was unbearably noisy but the food was worth going for. We will be back (maybe on Tuesday or Wednesday next time) Maybe when it won't be as noisy
The portions sizes were very decent too and I liked how you could see into the kitchen.
