    We had our work Christmas dinner at the Pier on what was a very busy Members draw night and they didn’t disappoint. The place was buzzing and the energy matched. With this in mind, I had booked a table out on the deck so that we could enjoy the beautiful view of the river as well as the amazing sunset. Because of the volume of people, it took a while to get our meals, but when we did, the entire group was very impressed. So much so that a couple of them went back the next evening. The Oysters Kilpatrick were a hit as was the Thai Beef Salad, Chicken schnitzels, Rib eye steak and the Barra and Mushroom burgers. We’ll be back for next year’s Christmas Dinner and many times in between. Just make sure to bring a light jacket and a pair of sunglasses, that sunset view is one of the best!

    Our table for 20 was not set up for us on arrival even though the booking had been made weeks before. The wait for meals was long, one person on our table waited 1.5 hours for her garlic bread, and no apology was given when it finally arrived. Some meals were ok but the majority were overcooked.

    My partner and I had an excellent night. The staff were friendly and courteous, the dinner was top notch, and the entertainment was brilliant. Next time we're in Tassie we'll be heading to Ulverstone to enjoy another great night out at Island State Brewing - The Pier.

    I had booked 10 days in advance through Open Table and received reminder messages. My friends and I arrived on time but we're met at the door by a sign saying there was an Oktoberfest event on which was completely booked out. Staff knew we were coming as I saw our names on a list but they seemed perplexed about what to do with us. The place was crowded and noisy. We were offered a table to the side but food would take an hour to be served. We received no apology or offer of compensation. It was a disappointing experience and we won't be rushing back. Three of us had been at The Pier on the previous Thursday for a family birthday which had also been booked. There was a meeting of local Rotarians on at the time which received service priority and so our group waited 75 minutes for our food. This is a long time for kids to wait and, given that the food is mainly burgers, the wait is hardly justified. The Pier really needs to up its game re communication and customer service. Currently very ordinary indeed.

    Very long wait for our food, 80 minutes due to the Rotary Club meeting apparently needing to be served first. I believe the rotary booking is a regular booking therefore you should allow for this and either limit the numbers in the main room or ensure that the kitchen can cope with the increased numbers.

    The ambience and food is good here, however they need to up their game in regards to service and wait times. There is always a lengthy wait to receive meals (well over an hour in some cases!) and always a wait to order drinks. Their wine menu is outdated and lacking of variety and the staff seem to have no idea what they are serving to patrons. Potential to be great venue, but staff need to be trained and more staff need to be available when the venue has events on.

    Very unorganised event. Went to see the Neil Young tribute. Performance started 30 minutes late and was not even 2 hours long. The food was okay but extremely slow. The staff serving the dishes looked lost and walked around in circles. Too many people inside the small venue. Wouldn’t recommend. Bland menu, no desserts, no cocktails. Would be really nice if we could order food/drinks from the table using QR code.
