A fantastic night with a great mix of food and service. Will definitely be going back. The creme brûlée was unbelievable and the ricotta doughnuts weren’t bad either 😀

I love the layout of this restaurant and bar, several different spaces for different occasions and moods. Great wine list. The food was average however and some of it overpriced! $32 for a gristly porterhouse with nothing more than a hand full of hand cut chips and a sauce was a bit ridiculous. The pork schnitzel was decent though, as too was the pate. The croquettes were tasty but needed a dipping sauce or aioli. Bonus points for the free pool tucked away in the corner for some late night entertainment.

The Feed Me option is perfect for a meal shared between friends. Every time I’ve dined at Stray Neighbour the variety, quality and quantity of dishes have surpassed expectations. Great customer service and relaxed and friendly atmosphere is also notable.

Really good food, with a good selection. OMG the croquettes were incredible!!! Lovely staff and prompt unobtrusive service. Noisy though, due to warehouse style building.

Sides very small for the price & steak not that good......not very tender at all & for $36 you'd expect a lot better. Very disappointing!!

Always yummy food and a great atmosphere Unfortunately the menu options were more limited than usual, with some dishes unavailable, but I guess that’s a sign they’re delicious, and had sold out!

Great atmosphere and meals where top notch great variety of drinks to choose from the only thing I will say is maybe there needs to be a few more choices on the menu apart from that 10/10

Excellent food. Short menu ensures quality and freshness. Drinks reasonably priced and friendly bar service. If you place your trust in the hands of the chef you will be well rewarded by the 'feed me' option.

The restaurant was very noisy, it was steak night and there was a large party celebrating a birthday. Service was attentive, steak delicious, but side vegetables were over cooked and expensive.

The four of us were blown away by the experience, having only been to SN previously for beer events and occasional beer and pool, the experience of dining was a 10/10 in service, atmosphere, food and wine. This will become a regular for us, dont go changin'.
