Small Bar- Crows Nest

Fantastic food and great service. Will defiantly be back.

Very disappointed with our experience at Small Bar Crows Nest. We arrived on time and having booked a table there was none reserved for us. We were a party of 4 there to eat and we were put on a high bar table that had three bar stools. The waiter organised another stool but the table was tiny. We were advised we would be moved when another table became available and that was the last we saw of the waiter all night. We ordered a round of drinks and paid. The larger table for 4 became available next to us but some other people swooped on it before we could throw our bags on it to claim it. I would've thought the waiter may be keeping an eye on that and move us. So after realising this was it, we ordered food. I presented my First Table voucher and the 50% was deducted from our food. The food all came together and we had to hold platters while dishing up on our plates and the server waited for the platter as there was clearly nowhere to put it on the table. We then ordered a couple more dishes but our First Table voucher was not honoured. I get that you can only use it once but we hadn't left the restaurant, it was only about 30 minutes since our original order but no, we were not given the First Table discount. The waitress said something about a Tab but that was never offered to us when we ordered originally. All in all a very disappointing experience. So when ordering your food if you think you may go back for more, open a Tab and pay for it all at the end with the First Table discount. Food is good though.

Good food and excellent service!

Brilliant little bar, love love the food and gorgeous courtyard. Great friendly service that went above and beyond good service. Thank you Catherine’s party xx

I've been to Small Bar many times, and love coming back. Lovely spot with great atmosphere, nice food and good vibes. We were served by someone who was new on the job, so still learning but did a great job. Great value!

Had a really great time at small bar. Also it was a really great bust atmosphere for a weeknight when we went which was pleasantly surprising. Thanks heaps guys!

Small bar has such a lovely warm, cozy atmosphere. Perfect for a cold winter night. The food exceeded our expectations. We over ordered because the sliders were larger than expected! The wine selection is great. Loved our experience here!

Great food and atmosphere. Would definitely go back

Always a great atmosphere and delicious food. Staff were friendly and remembered our drinks order the next time we went to the bar.

The atmosphere was great but a bit loud. Staff were helpful and friendly and made sure the experience was enjoyable. The food was tasty and interesting but could have been more flavorful. Large selection of drinks and different food.

Great place for catching up with friends over a few drinks and shared plates. Service friendly and accommodating. Food easy. Fast service. Great wine.

Never seems to disappoint. Always my go to for a good catch up over tapas style food and a good glass of wine. The atmosphere is always great, best to sit in the courtyard if there is availability as it is so pretty out there. Staff are always so friendly and happy to help in anyway!

Beautiful setting with a pretty, covered courtyard. Fun share food with a mix of familiar favourites, like soft tacos and sliders, and finger food with a twist like halloumi with honey and rosemary or the vegan cauliflower wings.

Can't wait to come back!

Fabulous!

The food is so good. Perfect small bites for two...we might have over ordered as we couldn't decide. The vibe of the place is cozy and intimate and the back courtyard is lovely.

Fantastic. Amazing food. Gorgeous little wine bar with a great atmosphere!

We had a great night at Small bar. Love the duck tacos! The service was really good despite busy Friday night!

We had the best time. Chilled atmosphere, fantastic service and the food was amazing. Thank you!

Excellent.

Amazing

Enjoyed the venue and also the food hadn't realised it was more of a tapas menu so only small plates, hence the name "Small Bar" so we just ordered more,! meat balls and a charcuterie board to share really excellent, nice wine and brilliant service.

Really nice people and an amazing venue. The garden at the back is the place to go!!

I can't say anything negative about this place. I absolutely love it. Everything from when you walk in the door to when you leave. Beautiful wooden tables and chairs in the entrance and elegant garden chairs and tables in the back under the twinkling fairy lights.

The service is wonderful with really efficient waiters and bartenders. The food is delicious and there is a decent selection of beverage.

Really highly recommended

Great food and drinks with a beautiful courtyard at the back. We really enjoyed our experience.

Nice selection of bar food Share boards are a good way to get a range of flavours. A great Pinot noir helped things along. Thanks to staff for the friendly greeting and service throughout

Food was delicious; not a bad choice out of the whole tapas style menu. Barman went out of his way to organise us a courtyard table on a busy night. Will definately return.

A great venue and atmosphere. The food was delicious as always. Unfortunately we did ask for the tapas we to come out staggered but it all hit the small table at the same time. Will be back!

I've been to Small Bar many times and love it. The staff is amazing - always helpful, smiling and just all round brilliant! Love the atmosphere in the garden. It's just magical with the lights in summer :) Would recommend this wonderful gem to anyone.

I can’t thank this restaurant enough for making our evening so special. The food and the service were sensational. Thank you so much. I recommend anyone to spend a night here be it for a celebration or just a great night out.
Excellent all round!!

Food was great, wine was great and service was great. Minimal amount of cocktails but what they had was good. Mostly focused on wines and beer but the options were great. Recommend the vegetarian share plate - even if you're not vegetarian!

A great girls night out with tasty food to share and good atmosphere! We’ll be back

Great little spot but don’t expect table service. Order everything at the bar and you are set. It can get a rowdy since it is a bar.. great food and great service. Will be back.

A good night to celebrate our anniversary in a charming and ambient courtyard. Will definitely be back!

Delicious sliders

Enjoyed the ambience and food . Staff were terrific too

Lovely place. Good vegetarian options and the staff was hospitable.

Food was great. Recommend the tacos and sliders

For a rookie at First Table, it was great. Service was excellent (staff were lovely) and the food was delicious as it always is at Small Bar anyway. Easy after-work catch up for everyone.

Great food and service, first time here and the place was packed. As it's obviously a small place it made for a very noisy venue and hard to talk.

Awesome venue with a great atmosphere. The food was delicious and even though the place was busy we weren't waiting long. The extensive wine list makes decision making tough! Would definitely come back.

Great atmosphere and food was awesome. Perfect venue to catch up with friends and celebrate a birthday.

Really impressed with our experience at the Small Bar. Great ambience on entry, no shortage of people there at 6.00pm. Table booked through First Table, ready and waiting. Delicious food and due to the healthy discount, we were able to sample many of the small dishes from the menu. Highly recommend

Great night out with friends, good food great wine and a cosy atmosphere. Could have stayed all night.

Had a great time! The bar gets busy early so there was a great vibe even at 6pm. Really quick service. Tasty food. Friendly staff. No issues whatsoever.

The venue was small, intimately lit and provided a great vibe. The hoisin duck and pulled pork tacos were divine, along with the lamb, feta & ricotta meatballs. Could not fault this place at all. Will definitely be back.

Fab service, attentive staff. Food was great. Will be back again. The total bill was an even better surprise.

Was a great experience. Was the first time using First Table and was no hassle at all - it was seamlessly applied and our table was all booked for us when we arrived. We had Calamari, Haloumi sliders, guacamole, tacos and arancini balls – all delicious and a complete bargain. Meant we could get ourselves some upgraded wine choices

Food was delicious but service was a bit poor

Awesome food, great atmosphere and fantastic selection of beers and wines. Will be back for sure.
