   Service was poor. You order from your table via qr code, additional weekend surcharge and compulsory card surcharge through qr code. Expensive pizza comes in a box you collect yourself, with no plates. Water jugs were empty. No wine or beer list, just a blackboard with types of beer and wine no brands. Limited shade. Food came at different times, sauce was missed.

   This was our second visit here and we were a bit disappointed as we had a really nice time the first time (a year ago). The setting and ambience is beautiful but the service was not very good. The staff were rude on arrival and treated us like we were an irritation. The food (pizza) was ready quickly but we had no access to plates or cutlery and when I asked the kitchen staff they were rude about it. Didn't know we were expected to eat pizza out of a box. The children's meals came about 20 mins after the pizza was ready for the adults. All in all not a great experience and I wouldn't rush to go back.

   Rather expensive for for what you get. Limited food options, not a good variety. Not very hospitable for bigger gatherings with their terms and conditions. It's a $5pp charge if you want to bring a birthday cake, bit ridiculous IMO considering the number people we brought to the place spending the amount of money we did. Bar service was incredibly slow and seemingly inefficient (im no expert but I'd have more then one person pouring beers and explaining your beers to every customer), the second person behind the bar we often tied up making cocktails or cleaning. Another person or 2 wouldn't have went a stray. I've always been a fan of the beers though! Not sure I'll go back anytime soon

   Craft Beer seems to be a secondary consideration now at the bar and not really promoted. Ordered a pizza for $32! Was expecting gold flakes in it for that price. Tasted good but expected more toppings. Also ordered olives for $12 and expected them to come with crackers at least... no just a small bowl of mixed olives. Food service was really poor. While I applaud table service now, the pizza is delivered in a pizza box to your table. At no time were we offered napkins, plates or cutlery for our meals and had to ask. We used to regularly enjoy a beer and meal at Murray's, but it seems employing untrained Backpackers and increasing the bottom line from tourists is the new Business model. As a local it's a shame I probably won't be returning anytime soon.

   Overall it was a good experience, it was nice day, they had a live band which was nice. The food was nice but not exceptional, the service was excellent, our waitress was fantastic, made it so much better. I would go again if I was in the area.

   The food was mediocre for the high price tag. This place is very much aimed at tourists. The service is non existent. You have to wait for bar staff to stop gossiping to be served. They don’t offer menus, it’s all online however you cant view the menu prior. Poor Nan was feeling excluded! Staff were zero help at every interaction. Just a shame for us locals that this is now no longer a suitable venue for returning customers.

   Anna Bay locals, and originally booked table for 11am for birthday lunch, got called to say we couldn't have lunch at 11 because they prioritize tourists buses before 12. Then we arrived at 12, tourists buses were all still there, server sat us at 3 different tables which we had to move our party of 10, 3 times before we were sat out the back in a squashed space with another seperate party of 10, sitting a foot next to each other, we had to constantly ask the other party to move chairs to get in and out of table to get our food as there was no table service to us either, only serving the door to the tourist bus tables, which were all spaced out and had plenty of vacant tables we could have sat at instead. Food was average. $20 for a garden salad is Abit rich considering it's just lettuce and they had sold out of kids nuggets at 12pm..... So the lack of preparation for stock was extremely poor also. The pork belly bits were 5 small crumbs of pork belly on top of a bed of seasoned corn. They had also sold out and had no ZERO SUGAR options for drinks, which for us who have medical conditions, meant water was the only option for a birthday celebration. SERIOUSLY???? Overall, extremely disappointed with how downhill Murray's has gone. It use to be such an amazing place for locals to hit up for special events. Whole places Has gone down hill. would not recommend.

    To be honest we were a bit underwhelmed and disappointed with Murray’s / B Farm this time around. We visited 7 years ago and had the full “brewery” experience with tasting paddles and beer menus, however there was nothing like that this time…not even a drinks menu or description of beers anywhere except a list on the wall of the bar. Just felt like a fancy beer garden and not really like a brewery and we left feeling a bit disheartened. The food was really yummy, pizzas were cooked perfectly and the cider was one of the best I’d had yet I was sad to find I couldn’t buy any to take away.
