   I picked the Captain Melville as being good for a group dinner, the only downside is not having split billing. This is a thing that is ridiculously easy to facilitate these days so while it's my only disappointment, it's a significant one. I note the current process also impacts on how many drinks (alcoholic or otherwise) I order because while food is table service, drinks are not. Please consider a change to this process - I really do enjoy bringing groups to this pub, it's an otherwise perfect location.

   Dear Juanita, thanks for the review! And we'd like to update with you that we are able to do split bills now! Our venue is a little more difficult than others to do it since the Blue Stone walls block the internet in our Dining Area and it certainly affects our system. We have worked hard on this in order to make it easier for our guests this year, and finally, we made it! We are looking forward to having you back again :)

   The food was delicious and the service was quick and friendly. Special mention to the Irish guy that worked there - super friendly and knowledgeable :)

   Captain Melville once again served as a dinner venue to 20 members of the Continuum convention looking for a great meal in a space where we could all sit together and talk. To cut a long story short, it's the only venue so far that I've been moved to book two years in a row due to the high quality of the well-priced food, the ability to hear ourselves talk without yelling, and the friendly staff who are so patient with taking all our orders. I don't think we've ever had any mixups with the food aside from the occasional Jenga block landing in someone's aioli. (P.S. if you're playing the games that Captain Melville provides, we are very sorry if there is still aioli on the Jenga block. We did try to wash it off.)

    Not impressed! I suggested Cpt Melville for lunch with a group of work colleagues. When we got there it was packed at the bar - I guess people where ordering meals ? We did wait a while but it wasn't quick so I admit I jumped in and asked the guy behind the bar about our reservation. I made the reservation about 2 hrs before but the bar staff said I hadn't and showed me a bit of paper that had reservation names written on it , my name wasn't on it so he dismissed me. If I wasn't with work colleagues I would have walked out but I persisted and showed him my confirmation on my ph. After serving quite a few other people at the bar he eventually showed us to a table in the bar section where I'd booked but was still really rude about it. We ended up sitting in the dining area where the service was good so was the food (super noisy thought) Sorry but what's the point of offering bookings if you not going to keep up to date with them. Everything else was great but your bar staff man let you down badly. I won't bring work colleagues here again and i wouldn't recommend it. He might have been busy but there's no excuse for being rude to customers or for saying they lied about having a booking. Wendy
