    local, friendly service and staff able to adjust as our needs changed through the evening-helped us easily relocate to a new indoor table when it stared raining outside. The shared platter was generous cooked beautifully. Salad was a bit average, chips yum, drinks well priced. Thanks

    We’ve been here for the first time and didn’t regret it. The food was delicious, the service was attentive and welcoming from the moment we stepped in. Pan-seared salmon and the spatchcock were perfectly cooked. The salmon was crispy on the outside and tender inside. The chicken was flavourful and well-seasoned. Our mains were complemented with a glass of Riesling from South Australia, which left a pleasant aftertaste. The staff was very attentive and amiable throughout the whole evening. Overall, dinner at Butcher and The Farmer was unforgettable and we will definitely come back.

    The restaurant itself is a little noisy however quite nice ambience. We had breakfast arriving at 10am on a Sunday and there was a group of 8 of us, although we ordered coffees in a staggered fashion not all at once. The waitress was professional. Things that went wrong with our order. 1. One round of coffees were served cold. 2. Coffees took quite a long time to arrive, twice. 3. Tea did not arrive at all. Perhaps if they had another person assisting to make the tea and coffees things would run more smoothly in the morning rush. 4. Salt & Pepper shakers did not work. After receiving instruction from waitress on how to get the salt shaker going. I tried again but in the end just left it. Other people complained and we got one that worked. We wanted to enjoy it and the waitress did do her best and remained polite however too many little things went wrong for us to come back. Breakfast menu was also quite limited although bacon was yum.

    I was worried when I booked and saw all the comments about insufficient air con, however we had a lovely time in the tram which we mostly had to ourselves with no overheating. A couple of small problems - we were not given cutlery and after trying to wave someone down to get some, we just got it ourselves. I don't mind doing that at a cafe but it was a bit annoying for a nice restaurant. The bottle of wine we ordered to have with dinner only showed up after we'd almost finished eating (again, we had trouble trying to find someone to ask). The food was spectacular. The service was friendly but at times lacking. We had a really lovely evening and will definitely come back.
