Brooklands now not so much since the head chef left a few years ago, to be replaced with no-one. CYs is bombed, alot of cool cars seem to turn up there....

I've found CY's to be a bit hit and miss first time i went there it was awesome best Angus beef steak i have had anywhere, but last time was pretty average. We complained to manager she told us it was the kitchen staffs last day and they were in a real CBf mood. So hopefully its better now.

since you are going anyway would it make a difference if we said it was bad?
edit: i've never had a bad pizza there

Pizzas are quite decent at windsor, very cheesy, they don't stinge on toppings. Haven't been there for a few months but so could have changed <- standard disclaimer lol

Not sure if srs.
Place is still turd just polished.
It was ok when it first opened,it gets progressively worse each time I go,
absolute terrible service,meals coming out at different times, food over or undercooked, and for what it is, it's a rip off.
Yeah not to much down CV way, one nice Italian place at the shops on wWarton, and ok chinese in Willeton but no steak places
Last drop seems ok, only been once, bit of a weird place... dunno if i'll go back.
Not a fan of nicholsons, shit everytime I been there.
I just take a 10 min drive to Roxby on South St O'conner, $6 pints cant go wrong
Either that or i head all the way to Freo

I've been goin to Nicholsons for about 5 years now, it used to be really good huge serving and awesome food. Then about 2.5 years ago it was sold as there was all new management and most of the staff were now Asian and the food and service took a massive dive. I dint go there for about a year after that, then went again recently and the menu had all changed and the food was really good again. And its been like that the last 3 times i have been there in the last few months.
CY's on a sat/sun avo in summer is good if you want to see some bombed cars, there is usually a selection of HSV and FPVs there. Quite often see a pair of Lambos parked there as well as a few euros. Also recently seen the Thunder Perfomance VE with big blower poking out the bonnet parked down there.
If you don't mind putting your stab proof vest on then head out to The Bentley. Since the last revamp the food has stepped up a few notches and they have a half decent tap selection.

I've been there last month, they got a new head chef recently, he's supposed to be good. I had lamb shanks there, they were fantastic!
wouldn't touch the brooklands either worst food i have had in ages.
Last Drop - only ever heard bad things
lakers - Ok but pricey from memory.
CyOconner is in the entertainment book so might give that a shot :)

^^THIS!
Get there early before the locals sniff their way through and cause trouble.
Awesome meals for the price and decent selection of brews.

I been the last drop heaps of time, Always had Great Service and a Good Meal.
Nicholsons has been a bit hit and miss lately.
I might have to give CY's a go I think.

Each time I've been to Nicholson's it's been great. Servings are huge, and taste great. Keen to try some other pub's though, so might give CY a crack this weekend.

The gate
Hmmm.. Went there for a meal with my family and a couple of others.
4x raw chicken parma's later. The other meals looked to be cooked nicely. More than likely won't be going back. What sort of pub can't cook a chicken parmigiana.
