    Excellent food and great ambience. Catered for entire family including children. Staff were great - we were there celebrating a family get together and did not feel rushed out like so many do these days. Dining room is up a set of stairs.

    Excellent customer service by Courtney and the bar staff. Our rib eyes , sauces vegies & kiplfler potatoes were so good 👍. The wine and pints of Guinness were delicious as well. We moved from the original table we booked out front because of the sun in faces shining through the window and the staff told us we could sit anywhere. The new booths at the rest of the 3 crowns hit the spot no problemo. All in all a great afternoon lunch with some work colleagues. Thanks again 3 crowns .....
