Runaway Bay Tavern

The food was exceptional this evening and the meal was served quickly. The chef's expertise was evident in every dish. Well-executed cooking.

I'm a native, I didn't come here because eating was waste, I wouldn't feed my dog. well to see a change in chefs with real experience we are back as regular. eating is now 10/10 spectacular.

Eat very average, the staff was great, but that is where it stopped, the drinks were the most expensive I had paid everywhere, the eating was very bad for the price paid, they try the local ligas club as it is better to eat.

Arrived on Friday evening about 6.30 pm. A guy was singing and playing guitar. He was good. Four of us settled into a table which was dirty. Luckily we had some tissues and cleaned it. Went up to the bar. Three team members were at...the end of the bar chatting. We were totally ignored despite waving at them. Finally one of them came over and said “are you alright”. We said no we want to order some drinks. Drinks arrived but not a good experience.

I'm not surprised the staff are miserable and the place is empty on a Friday evening. Having worked in hospitality and tourism the past 25 years, this place could really do with an overhaul. What a shame as there's so much potential...
