It’s been a while since we dined at the Kingston and it was always enjoyable. The “new” Kingston after extensive renovation delivers three excellent spaces with great attention to quality fit out that provides a relaxed character and atmosphere to each space. We had lunch in Marble & Pearl, a refined dining room with a focus on Australian beef and local seafood, all cooked on a parilla charcoal grill.
Even though it was the official opening day and finishing touches were still being applied, the service from the staff was attentive and friendly, and we were well looked after by Renata.
The miso glazed marrow bone was excellent, as was the panko-crumbed John Dory. The retro prawn cocktail was nice but would have benefited from more prawn meat. The 300g O’Connor’s hanger steak from the parilla had a great depth of flavour and was served with house-made green and a red chimichurri on the side
The wine list is well curated to match the food on offer and caters to a range of budgets. Will be back.
Super excited that our local bar is up and running with a very Luxe feel. Love the new look and menu. Cocktails by the fireplace is definitely on the cards again and again. Well done
We were a large group of 18 and the service was great - super friendly and attentive. We enjoyed a set menu which catered to all tastes and showcased the pub's broader menu. The wine and drinks list offered a great range and also delivered real value. Thanks for a great night - It's wonderful to see a local suburban pub retain it's charm - am sure we'll all be back!
