    Everything was absolutely amazing! The service was super quick, and the portions were huge. Definitely worth every dollar spent. They also have a cute bar scene if that’s what you’re looking for.

    The Australian is always a fun spot for a new take on the sports bar/ pub. But trivia with Rus takes it to a new level. Love it!

    My boyfriends dinner consisted of meat pies, stuffed sausage roll, potato wedges and fried mozzarella sticks. I ordered the lamb roast with seasonal vegetables. My only complaint is that the lamb was a little tough. I expected it to be very tender and was disappointed that it wasn't.

    When we come to Manhattan, we are always looking for new and different dining experiences. The Australian was no exception! The food was delicious and the service was attentive but not to the point of hovering. We had a great time and can’t wait to return!

    As always, the service was impeccable, the food was yummy, the drinks were fantastic, and we had a great time. Brought a group from my job and everyone loved the place. Many mentions of how cute the decor is and how strong/delicious the frozen drinks are. Will be back!!!!
