We enjoyed sharing a smashed avocado and granola. Service was a little absent at times. Loved the space and engaging decor.

A disappointing experience at Monster. The prices and atmosphere does not match the new order at the bar system. Whilst the food was tasty we had issues with the total lack of service charging what they are. No longer the restaurant it was and I can’t imagine this new approach suits anyone…

Dear Jo, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that your recent experience at Monster didn’t meet your expectations. We understand that our transition to an all-day dining concept — including the new order-at-the-bar system — represents a significant shift from our previous service style. This change wasn’t made lightly; it reflects a broader evolution in the hospitality landscape, where we’ve had to adapt in order to remain sustainable and accessible to a wider range of guests throughout the day. Your experience is not what we aim for, and we truly regret that we fell short during your visit. Regards Monster Kitchen and Bar

Food is expensive and horrible. Food at a country pub is half the price and half a step better than food at this establishment.

We appreciate your feedback and hope you’ll consider visiting us again. – The Monster Team

Tired menu with two out of the 4 things on the Mother's day special not available. Steak didn't seem to have any red wine in the jus, kofta was a bit ordinary too. Staff were pleasant but slow and disinterested.

Busy environment, suited best to younger crowd. Staff very friendly and efficient. Couldn’t be faulted . Food good to very good depending on dish. Angus steak and chips , and cabbage plus lentils excellent . Poached pears with ice cream good but very sweet (youghurt would have been better accompaniment than ice cream). Overall recommend but more of an excellent bar with seating than a conventional restaurant .

All these new changes to monster have been for the worst. I really don’t see myself coming back here and that’s quite a shame because monster was quite a unique restaurant and I will miss it.
Monster Kitchen & BarSe respondió el 6 de abril de 2025
Dear Dishant, Thank-you for your feedback, we regret the changes didn't meet your expectations. The changes to Monster come about as changes to all Ovolo hotel food and beverage operations occur across all our Australian hotels. All our hotels are moving toward a more traditional all-day dining concept as we re-orient the hotel toward a more conference and events-based hotel and soon refresh our furniture and spaces. Whilst we are keeping some of the popular Monster dishes, we have moved away from the a la carte/set dining model. We value you appreciated the Monster of old, but in the current market we have had to evolve the model in order to continue to operate and meet the needs of our guests. We do thank-you for patronage irrespective. Kind regards Monster team

Overall a step down from before. Ok but no longer a go to dining experience. The new omnivore menu had tasty food but that’s where the praise stops. Service was lacklustre, like no offer for extra wine or desserts after our meal. About halfway through they changed to still water (from sparkling) just dumping the carafe on the table. Our side of chips came out at the start as if it was a bar menu snack and not a restaurant side.

I booked a table in the restaurant expecting an a la carte menu for my partner's birthday dinner, only to be told that the restaurant wasn't operating and we had to choose from a limited bar menu and sit in the bar area. Very disappointing. The food was reasonably good, although we weren't offered deserts or coffee. In addition, we were told that cocktails weren't available after 8.00pm. More like a modest country venue than dining in a five star hotel. We won't return.
