Visited December last year. I ordered my meal using the app, however when it arrived it was a vegan burger when I had ordered a steak sandwich. The waiter proceeded to tell me that’s what I had ordered and that the receipt said so. I couldn’t check because the app doesn’t have that function it only lets you see the monetary value spent not the itemised receipt. The waiter stated that the kitchen would make me the steak sandwich. When the sandwich finally arrived it was with a burger bun not a sandwich style bread as depicted in the pictures and as I had seen with other customers orders

Had a great day/night catching up with mate from out SE and OS, excellent atmosphere on the rooftop, crowded towards the end. Nice and quietish in the Cabinet room for meals – excellent food, quick service and a not so busy bar as well.
Only negative is the music could be louder in the smoker’s area, besides that, overall, an excellent place to meet up and eat.

Booked my team Christmas party here and was so fun! We only had 2 hour booking and the guy was a bit curt on kicking us off. But he redeemed himself by organizing another table for us. We were ordering so many drinks so think that might have helped. They even let us stay there and moved another booking. Great service! Drinks and food was solid. A great spot for a group gathering, but book ahead!

I was with friends on the second floor i think it was the treasury room. Nice and quiet, not a lot of people, which felt good. I'm not sure how it takes over an hour for a small plate of fries to made, but it did? somehow they forgot my order, which made me feel so hungry I didn't order anything else? it ended with a complaint to staff for waiting to long and she asked for the receipt it didn't give me one so I showed her my bank statement for proof $27 for $5.20 each worth of these drinks alone does not equal $27, In the end not worth the money. I would also point out that the one on the right

Sue Steyn looked after my wedding reception a few weeks ago and can i just say, she is amazing! She not only made it stress free for me but went above and beyond by organizing balloons, table menus, welcome board and stuck to our theme. Thank you so much Sue! I recommend this place if you are looking for an intimate, relaxed reception/event. Food was superb also! Everyone enjoyed themselves :)

Booked a table at the Imperial Hotel for my birthday and had an awesome time!
Staff were very helpful and were responsive when communicating with them via email. Venue location is very convenient and has a wonderful view of Parliament House.
Ordering food and drinks to your table is very easy, with just a simple scan of a QR code. Quite a big drinks menu, and tasted great.
Big shoutout to one of the rooftop bar wait staff (unsure of his name sorry!) who was working hard to get our drinks to our table even though it was raining and wet up on the rooftop. He’s a legend!

Awesome rooftop. Prices are steep for the quality of meals you get.
Very disappointed with quality of food for the price. Quality is being sacrificed for Speedy service, which is great for drinks, but not for food.
The pictures of the food and location are perhaps the pub's saving grace.The chips are really yummy though!
If you have questions about the meals, the staff refers you to the page where you're meant to book an order from, no waiters to take your order. It's all digital.
gf options available.
Ordered steak Sanga and a Gluten free burger.... The bun in the gf burger wasnt even heated
