We came later in the night when kitchen was about to close, but our waiter was fast friendly, advised us the kitchen was about to close and was more than happy to help us to decide on what lovely kai to have. Kai ( food ) was beautiful, staff were friendly, atmosphere was bliss, nice cozy little spot, I now understand why they get busy...glad I finally got to check this place out, instead of just hearing about it. Price per person $30–40 Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4

We sat up on what I would describe as a staged area. Our waitress helped seat us. That's where our interaction with her ended. We waited and waited for water to be brought to us and menus. In the end we walked to the bar to order only told they would come to us when we asked for menus. Finally got our menus from another table. Again waited for her to take our orders..nope. again a visit to the bar to order. Our food was interesting. I ordered the vegetable stack. Sort of wasn't what I imagined or based on the menu. The sauce seemed like a mixture of vegetables all lumped together. The carrots were frozen not fresh and ruined the overall taste. My partner liked his fish tacos but commented that the fish was of the frozen variety and not fresh. The only attention we got from staff was from the super friendly guy. He was lovely and chatted to us about our dogs. Would we come back?? Probably only as part of a group, certainly not as a couple.

A beautiful place that needs to improve the decor a little. There is no Wi-Fi for customers. The chef there is excellent and has a cheerful face. There is a problem with orders when the place is crowded. Price per person $30–40 Food: 4 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 4

Really disappointed with the service we got at Butter Factory recently, food took almost 2 hours to arrive and when it did they were missing half of our food. The waiters may have been new but it was never clear when things would be coming out and they barely ever checked on us whilst we waited. We were excited to join the quiz night which on Facebook was never advertised that you needed to book and when we showed they explained it was fully booked but then had let another group into the quiz night even after saying it was booked out. One of the older male staff had a serious attitude problem towards the end of our night which was a huge factor as to why I’m giving this review. Unfortunately I normally love eating at butter factory and normally the vibe is great but this experience has ruined it for me and I don’t think I’ll be going there again.

Nice staff nice menu but slow to take order then had to ask if we could have a drink and wasn't offered any water till we finished our meal and not asked if we wanted dessert at all. They had a large group to take care of so hopefully it's better other times. The cleaning leaves alot to be desired. Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3

The food came in really late. While placing the order we were told that it will take half an hour for the food to come to the table. We were fine with it. But food didn't come out even after one and half hours. I still give them a 5 star for 1) for the genuine care of the staffs and the quality of food. 2) It was father's day and they were busy. They did come and check on us a couple of time during the wait. At one point we did get a bit itsy and contemplated walking out, when we saw a group of 8 who came in half an hour after us getting their food while we were still waiting for ours. I should mention this guy who took our order, he was exceptional. Just before we left I heard, he had to jump in the kitchen to help the chef with our order as we have been waiting far too long. Kudos to him, we will be back.

Went there for a birthday dinner last night. Placed order at 6.40pm it took 1hr 15min for our meals to arrive for a table of 6.... would have been nice to be told of the wait time when we ordered! The steak meal sat up on the pass for 5min before it was delivered. The remaining 5 burger meals took another 5min to arrive so Dad was not eating his steak because he was waiting four our meals to arrive. Waiter said we would get a complimentary basket of fries for the wait, this did not arrive. Burgers were all mostly bun and little filling. Felt like they had left our table order for last because other smaller tables who got there after us got their meals and even finished eating before ours arrived. For 5 burgers +chips, popcorn prawns entree and a steak meal, this wait of 1hr 15min was ridiculous and the food was below average. Cocktails were lovely though!!! We even went through Mcds drive-thru on the way home!!!! Price per person $30–40 Food: 1 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 4

Great indoor and outdoor seating areas. Awesome place for a quiet drink, sitting down for a meal or going to a band music night. Good selection of food and drinks. Friendly and good staff.
