Torque Bar & Grill - North Strathfield

I stumbled upon this restaurant by chance when I needed quick repairs for my motorbike, as it happened to be conveniently located next to the bike shop. The restaurant was empty during my visit, so the service was fast and efficient. I ordered the BLT with chips and was pleased with the quality. I was surprised at how quiet it was at lunchtime midweek.

Went here today with some family for lunch. The restaurant wasn't overly busy but the service took forever. I'd had such high expectations for the place but was let down. The venue itself was really clean and spacious, we had a large group of 13 but were all very comfortable. The waiter who served us was covering way too many tables and did his best to help us out. Unfortunately the drinks were delivered way too slowly and our main meals were delivered at intervals in a 45 minute window. The waiter did apologise and gave us some complementary food. The food itself was average and very much overpriced in my opinion). I paid $51 for a full rack of pork ribs that I found very dry and bland. The surf and turfs we ordered were ok but quite small considering the cost.

I frequently visit this restaurant with my friends and also with my family. The food is delicious, albeit a bit expensive, but the ambiance of the restaurant compensates for it. I really appreciate the layout of the restaurant, with comfortable tables and chairs, ample space, outdoor seating, and a spacious bar. Additionally, the convenience of having their own parking is a plus. I highly recommend this place for its diverse menu, great atmosphere, and overall experience.

I have visited this restaurant with my family a few times and have always enjoyed the food. However, on Father's Day, I was very disappointed. The lamb and chicken shish kebabs were dry, and the seafood plate was missing the octopus at first. After I asked about it, it was promptly brought out in a bowl covered in what seemed to be rib marinade. The waitress confirmed that the restaurant must have changed hands, which may explain the decline in quality.

This is a fairly big restaurant, and there were about four tables occupied. Food was fine, although ordered very conservatively due to the waitstaff not really being on the ball. We were there second half of April, and had sort of forgotten about it. I can't believe people go to steakhouse, order seafood and then complain about it. Sheesh guys, cut them some slack. Maybe they shouldn't have it on the menu but they try to cater for the person in the group who might not want a steak.
