Criterion Hotel, Sydney NSW

Just popped in for a quick bite, well been here longer than intended. The bar atmosphere is just so chilled. Good food, lunch was full and afternoon tea it's filling up again. I had a plate of chips for $10 and a fish taco for just $7. That fish taco was absolutely, awesome, delicious, and amazing.

If you are here for lunch you must be sure to order the fish taco. I just ordered one piece because I had order other things as well.
But damn it is a damn good dish and which I had ordered more but I had other things... Lol

Unfortunately the A/C was not working.
The shower head broken so couldn't be used.
No tea or coffee cups available, although advertised.
Jack hammering beneath the room all night, I appreciate that hotel has no control over that but maybe offer another room!
No one around to seek assistance from.

The female manager who worked on the 30th July at night was highly rude and unprofessional. Being stupidly sarcastic towards my friend whilst we were wrapping up 2 farewells who were leaving the country was uncalled for and a plain poor attitude. It goes a long way to just be nice. You're such unhappy woman and I pray for you to get humbled. Ta

Don't bother going here, the bouncers are clearly uneducated and on a power trip, came here after one drink at a friends concert and he allowed 3/4 service without any explanation, when we asked why he had no response, and we asked his name and he said I don't need to tell you .. the bar was dead .. these types of 'security' are why Sydney's nightlife is diminishing. Do better. If the management would like to reach out I have a photo of the security's badge.. poor representation of your venue

Made a dinner reservation for Tuesday 28 may due to the website looking like a nice Irish hotel for dinner. What a big disappointment. The menu was nothing like a good old Irish pub and when we arrived nothing was prepared for us. The menu had a choice of about 12. The staff even had to ask a couple to move to make room for us. There was a bar down stairs but not open and we had to walk up stairs to order our meals and drinks. The place as advertised on website is not what you get. Recommend not going here. I asked for steak Medium/well and it came out medium/rare
