"Food was amazing, the kids loved the kids meals, and left them very satisfied and full 😂. Adults also enjoyed their food very much, everything was a hit! Service was amazing, our order came at around 15 mins or so, which is pretty good, considering our order was pretty big. Atmosphere was 10/10, there were TVs for us to watch, and the mood just really gives you a warm and welcoming vibe 🔥 Overall, fantastic place and highly recommend!"
Oscar
"Had an amazing birthday dinner here. Both cocktails I had (Strawberry Kiss & Pink Gin Spritz) were so delicious. Cheesy Garlic Pizza Bread was so yummy, and my sirloin main with truffle parmesan fries, peas, & gravy was one of the best meals I’ve had out in a while. Staff were very friendly too, & food & drinks all came out quickly (was a Monday night though!). Will definitely come back."

"Botany Commons was the perfect venue for my daughter’s 21st birthday celebration! The space had such a great vibe — stylish, welcoming, and ideal for creating a memorable night. The entire team were brilliant to deal with from start to finish, and a special shoutout to Codi, who was incredibly accommodating and made everything feel effortless. Nothing was ever a problem, and their support made the whole planning process completely stress-free. From the setup to the service on the night, everything ran smoothly, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend for any special occasion!"
Velma
"the food was so good I considered proposing to the chef. The atmosphere was classy yet cozy, and everything tasted like happiness on a plate. Special shoutout to Millie, who deserves her own Michelin star for service alone. She was charming, on the ball, and somehow appeared the exact second we needed something — magical, really. If I could give this place 11/10, I would. YAY YAY YAY"

"We ordered the southern fried chicken dish, onion rings and BBQ chicken burger and honestly it was some of the best food we’ve ever had! Will definitely be coming back. The service was great and our food was delivered quickly."
Jesse
"So I booked the outside deck function area for my Mum’s birthday... It was a brilliant venue overlooking the city with all the amenities you could want for such an event. The food was great—the kitchen even baked whole salmon fillets as an extra request. All the guests were super impressed! Big thanks to Brittany and Stephen who were in constant contact prior to ensure all went to plan, and to Brittany and Emily who did an awesome job looking after us on the day. I can't recommend The Cav and the team enough! If you are planning a function it ticks all the boxes."
Andy
"Really enjoyed our afternoon Christmas function I was invited to. The service was great which I was not expecting as most pubs have crap service, in my experience. Food was amazing (sliders, chips, calamari) and we sold the place out of Veuve. Was very nice."
Adam
"A group of us booked a few days earlier for the NFL. The staff were extremely accommodating with getting us set up in a prime spot, along with having the commentary playing as well. Overall a great experience, tasty food and plenty of beer."
James
"I visited the bar today for a team lunch. I ordered the habanero chicken burger and enjoyed some laughs and drinks with my colleagues. The bar has a great selection of house wines and beers, plenty of space for meetings, and they offer some exciting sports events to watch."
Sterling
