    We booked for 15 of us and the service was second to none. Careena especially went above and beyond creating an even better experience for our table. I was pressed for time and had rushed a few decorations to create an atmosphere but upon arrival they had added their beautiful touch. The cake was even presented better than when I left. Highly recommend, food was absolutely delicious x15.

    Ordered the eye fillet and it was cooked absolutely perfectly medium rare. Being able to substitute a normal salad for a Caesar salad option was a highlight and the the surf n turf upgrade with the garlic sauce was exceptional. The Westower Team consistently deliver great food and a great place to relax. The kids playground keeps my son occupied whilst I get to enjoy ice cold beers.

    What a regional gem of a pub! Playground occupied the kids while we got to sit outside and enjoy an ice cold beer before our meals came. Best quality pub food in the northern rivers. Oh and paid for the night with a nice little win on the pokies too! Winning all round

    Can't get enough of this place. Best pub bistro in town. The ever evolving items on the specials board is great to mix your options up from their main menu.

    My husband ordered eye fillet steak. It was cooked medium but was tough for such good quality steak . I had a chicken parmigiana which was dry, although chips were good. Had not heard good reviews of the tavern but thought we would give it a try as we live close.

    Not a good selection for vegetarians. Either pizza or remove the bacon from a Caesar salad. Previous times there’s been a great mediterranean salad or vegie stack. Hope the menu will change so we can go back again.

    Westower TavernOwner

    Hi Lousie, Thanks for your review and thoughts. We've just heard our seasonal menu change will take effect in April and the chef's are working on new creations already. You feedback will be discussed at menu creation meetings. Hope to seeyou again soon

    Westower TavernOwner

    Hi Katrina, Sorry that you weren't happy with your experience. I can guarantee you that you weren't seated in a smoking area as we ensure we are compliant with all laws, rules & regulations! If you'd like to sit further away from the smoking area in the future I'd recommend you request to be seated inside or on the deck.

    A bright sunny location, reasonably central to town. I had the chicken Caesar salad, very acceptable ???? Prices are about what you’d expect in 2022..

    Westower TavernOwner

    Hi John, Thanks for your review. Glad you enjoyed your experience and meal. See you again soon.

    The service and atmosphere were great however all steaks were over cooked including the chips. Salad and garlic bread great.

    Westower TavernOwner

If there ever is an issue with your meals, if you let us know at the time, we can easily correct the issue on the spot. We look forward to seeing you again soon

    The menu had a good variety and the steaks we ordered were cooked really nicely. The service was excellent. The vibe was nice on a busy Saturday night. Kid friendly.
