Gryphons Caffe Bar - Canberra

Gryphons is a very good venue to visit to catch up with friends but sadly the standard of the food doesn't meet up to expectations. Having been there quite a few times over the years I just can't believe that the menu has not changed over this period of time! It is such a shame because this Caffe Bar could really do a lot better if someone would just put a little more effort into the food they serve. The atmosphere is very friendly and overall it is a fun place to go to but the food is not up to standard.

Arrived here for a relaxing quality beer, the service was great. The footy on the multiple screens but not loud so we could have a good chat without the TV banter , food was both fast and fresh, generally clean and well looked after. Pints ~$9

Stopped in for a quick drink before heading out for dinner. First time here and it had a great atmosphere. Enjoyed a Bent Spoke Pale Ale on tap while the Brumbies played on the tvs around the place.

This place is our local. Great chips & the calamari is mostly sensational. It tries to be the best, a gastropub, good wines and beers. Little things stop it getting there. Orders often come out a bit wrong. There is a lot of maple and sugar on the mains and salad menu (less is more needed?) and Thai salad not actually Thai (thick Hoi sin glaze). The burger buns are hard to eat. But I'm rooting for you Gryphons! I want you to be the best.

Visited here for breakfast after reading the awesome reviews. The scrambled eggs and the muesli was pretty spectacular. Unfortunately the baked eggs were way over cooked. We were directed to take a seat on arrival and waited over 15 minutes to be served before finding out there was no table service. I would def encourage staff to be more communicative to patrons on arrival. Hence the average rating rather than very good
