    The rooftop setting is fabulous! Staff service fantastic. What lets it down is the food quality, pretty average for the money.

    Awful place. Noisy, crowded, chaotic, terrible service, appalling table presentation. Will never go back.

    While the food was as to be expected, the staff were lacking and even borderline rude to us.

    Quite a disappointing experience we had at the Light Brigade on the 5th Jan. I booked a table for 15 on the rooftop for 7pm. We arrived to find that the rooftop was closed due to rain and we had been given a table inside that only fit 6 people. There was zero effort made from staff to try and accomodate the booking. I understand it was a busy evening with the cricket and many walk ins- it had also started to drizzle (hence why the rooftop was shut) but the customer service we experienced was very poor. Personally, I think all bookings should be honoured over walk ins. Or, if you know the rooftop is going to be closed, honour the booking by putting aside a table for the group. We were standing around for 30 minutes calling other venues to try and accomodate to our group. After waiting around and hovering over tables, one group left and we all squished around 2 tables to eat our food. It wasn’t the most enjoyable experience. The food was great, as it always is. But in terms of service- we weren’t overly pleased.

    The Light Brigade Hotel is the perfect place to dine on a summer's day, apart from the amazing view the food was simply delicious! The menu was hard to choose from, as it all sounded very tempting. The calamari and wedges were great, and the fish tacos were the best I have ever tasted. The service from Luke, Caillan and Zac was friendly and professional. We look forward to returning again soon!
