Feathers Pavilion - BURNSIDE

Were there for an early weekend dinner. Chinese Broccoli side had no balance of flavour and was way too salty. Calamari was $16 for about a cup worth of calamari on the plate and nothing else not even a token salad had nice flavour although a little oily. Spring rolls were soggy, squelchy things in a pool of oil on the plate. Banana fritter desert was oily seemed to be the theme of the night however the coconut ice cream was a hit. Crispy skin chopped chicken and orange blossom brulee were both wonderful. Staff were accommodating with tricky drink orders and fidgety children but service was slow and dessert was forgotten about until reminded then it arrived promptly. Might give them a try for breakfast but won't return for dinner. Although I will say have had coffee here a few times and has always been good.

Great crispy duck salad, sooo delicious. Fish and chips lovely and crispy if a little oily. Lovely light and bright venue. Bathrooms a bit messy

The newly renovated Feather’s Pavillon has undergone a facelift to rival Kim Kardashian and a name change that would make Prince wish he’d gotten in first. Formally The Place Next Door, Feather’s Pavilion offers an open eating arrangement of white wash tiles, iron light bulbs and smooth timber furnishings with an open view of the top of Glynburn Road.

Feather 's Pavilion (FP) is a venue I 'm regularly driving by, so when I noticed it 's modern revamp I (Amanda) couldn 't wait to give it a try. FP takes reservations which is convenient especially when you a planning a catch-up and want to ensure you don 't miss out on a table. We arrived at 11am on a Sunday and were seated at our reserved table in the 'sunroom '. This is a floor to ceiling glass room at the front with only ceiling fans to keep us cool on this 39 degree day! Inside where we ordered at the counter was lovely and cool from the air conditioning but to our disappointment all the tables were full.

May 2018 updates, rating 3 The once asian inspired menu has now changed into a less inspired pub menu with small plates and more classic large plates. There are also pizzas but nothing very different from a fancy pub. We were underwhelmed by the food, although taken as pub food, it was nice, but no longer interesting. The service was nice but on the slow side. Before 2018, rating 4 We went 2 times and really enjoyed the asian inspired food. We loved the Barking Dog wine, for us it was a really nice experience, and we will go again for an easy no fuss date night.
