Venue was a lock out as at capacity although we had a booking that was made a month prior they would not let us ( 2 people) in for our table we arrived. Were advised to head to the back of the line which was extremely long. We went to the back of the line reluctantly mind you and then eventually a staff member walked the line asking if anyone had a dinner booking . We stood in a different area until a lady came out to confirm our booking with her iPad ( completely understand that procedure) Once we were finally inside everything was great and the staff were fantastic and meal was delicious! I just think from the start we should have been able to be checked off as we had a booking . Anyway just my experience 👍🏻

Staff were very average, and very unhelpful…. The venue was not busy, so the staff weren’t flat out! So to be so unhelpful and very unfriendly was very disappointing….. Seafood risotto was oily …. Very expensive for what it was!
The Precinct HotelResponded on June 26, 2024
We are so sorry to hear you had a negative experience, are you able to let us know if you were in over lunch or dinner? That way we can review the time period and provide further training. It is disappointing you did not enjoy your time with us as it is always our aim to be welcoming and friendly. Thank you for providing feedback so we can improve

Our food was fantastic and the service was great but the price on the day was a bit ridiculous. The surcharge for the public holiday was a bit steep. Nearly had a heart attack when we went to pay. Not sure we will return to the venue on a public holiday again.
The Precinct HotelResponded on June 12, 2024
Thanks for the feedback and we’re glad you enjoyed the food and service! Unfortunately, due to the added labour costs of staffing on public holidays the decision to put a surcharge for public holidays was made this year for the first time, we did not take the decision lightly and held off for many years. We do understand your position though and hope to see you back at another time!
