Ok so it was our first time at the Flying Moa, the service wasn’t great we were standing at the top counter for at least 30min before we were directed to a table. On sitting, not once did a waitress come to see if we were ready to order so instead I went up to the bar requested some drinks and told the waitress that we were ready to order if she doesnt mind serving us please.
There after we enjoyed our meals and would return again on the acception that their services improoves. Some people should serve with a smile
that will go along way.

This place is pumping on a Thursday night! I went with a group of girlfriends for dinner two Thursdays ago which went down very well with the $7 cocktails. Awesome place to spend the evening in good company, with friendly staff who made us feel welcome right through the moment we come through the door. Will be back soon

Wednesday is steak night and great value! Nice friendly staff on the night we went, although it was very busy and loud. Would go again for this special deal. A bit overpriced for ‘pub’ food though.

Went there to celebrate a birthday, the service was quite average, none of the staff were that friendly, no one came to check on our meals or asked us if we needed/wanted anything else.
The food was not that great, and I’ve had better pub food for the same price. The ribs were alright, I’ve definitely had better at other restaurants though. The NYC Cheesecake was atrocious. The crust was salty and so was the cake, it’s like they used salted butter in the crust and added salt to the cake to try and bring out some flavor. The serving of the cheesecake was so small for $11. It has to be the worst dessert, so I would not ever recommend it.
I don’t think I’ll go back, or recommend this place as I know of better places where the food is far superior in presentation and taste.

Have been there twice and will never return, glad we had vouchers as certainly would not pay for the crap service we received both times, the food was ok a little over priced especially for the steak sandwich, visited on a Sat for lunch and 1 waitress (poor girl) felt sorry for her – drinks took about 15 mins and then they were wrong, we received the garlic bread with the mains and she says “oh sorry was the bread ment to have come first”

YUM YUM YUM. THe steak deal on wednesdays is amazing value and I love a good hot plate! The ribs were very tasty and the meat just fell off the bone. Was a little diappointed by how many ribs you get though as once you go past the bone there isnt that much meat. Sharing was a great idea though my friend and i had half of each meal and were very satisfied by the end of the night!
We ate lunch at The Flying Moa and were dismayed to find the Salsa accompanying one of the meals was fermented (i.e. it was rotten). We complained and the wait staff checked with the kitchen who confirmed it was not supposed to be like that and they would make a fresh batch (too late for our meal). Nevertheless they charged us full price for the meal. When pressed they gave us a voucher for a “free” beer if we return – which I certainly won’t be. The salads were all tired and I would be very worried that their food handling procedures are safe.

Second visit here… Just as good as the first, great food, priced more than reasonably.
We were in a group of 8, on a Friday night. Great atmosphere.
Noisy on a Friday night which does not at all bother me, but may others.
Id say a great place for after works drinks also – especially during cocktail happy hour!

Visited for lunch. A nice looking pub with a menu that caters well for pub grub (the usual deep fried items) or a nice lunch with clients (salads, steak, stonegrill etc.). I’d recommend the Flying Moa for its convenient location & parking, good service, nice interior. The food is OK. We’ll be back.
Went there for the first time last night and was WELL IMPRESSED. The place is very modern, tidy and clean and the menu is massive with heaps of really good sounding meals to choose from and the staff were absolutely superb. highly recomended and I am already thinking about going back for lunch next week.

Had lunch there with my wife and took advantage of the Entertainment Book’s complimentary main… Nice place with good food served promptly. Another of my favourites… PINTS!! Only downside is it’s proximity to the road.
