Morningside Tavern, Sandringham

Part of our epic neighbourhood line up is the Tavern, boasting a huge outside seating area with festoon lights and comfy indoor furnishings, this is the place for a hearty meal. We marvelled at the huge fabric mural and the retractable projector screen (for those game days, no doubt). They had what you’d call good, honest bar food — woodfired pizzas, beer-friendly nibbles and meat dishes. Get the burger if you're hungry — it's a winner. There’s also some interesting selections like the lamb cutlet and eggplant parma that we’d love to try some time.

Food was okay, nothing worth going out of your way for but filling if you’re looking for pub style meals. The service was really slow, we sat down and it took 10 minutes before the waitress came back with menus for us, 20 minutes after that she came back to check if we were ready to order yet and then we asked for water and it took her walking past us repeatedly 5 times over the next 10 minutes before we got that. Probably wouldn’t be my first choice to go back to but wasn’t a terrible place either.
