over rated, poor service and up thier own arses. I imagined that this was going to be something really special but it was disappointing to say the least. Food was OK but service was shocking and attitude was worse.

My name is Tamara, I would appreciate it if you could contact me on 5229 6100 so I can discuss with you what happened the evening you dined. We pride ourselves on great customer service, and I would like know what happened so I can address this with the appropriate staff member. More

I had no idea what to do or order when l first went to Black Bull but both my girls go there all the time and rave about the place. I now know why! Food is fantastic and there is such an array. Not expensive either. I will be back!

We love this restaurant! Have been quite a few times now, the service is great and I've never eaten anything that I haven't really enjoyed.

I visited Black Bull for lunch with a friend yesterday and was left rather disappointed - the reviews on TripAdvisor and Urbanspoon gave me reasonably high expectations that were quashed rather quickly! The menu was 2 tapas for $14 and none of the options really appealed to me but because this place is a favourite of my friend's, I had... More

I recently went to Black Bull for a night out with friend. Food is always 'value for money' with a good selection to cater for everyone's needs. I like the fact you can have tapas, entrees or main and order continously through the evening. My favourite dish is the cheese croquettes and I love the churros. My biggest issue with... More

Had a beautiful dinner at this very lively and atmospheric restaurant/bar and learnt what Tapas really should taste like. We opted for plate after plate of Tapas only and shared them amongst the four of us and it worked well. Especially when washed down with jugs of sangria and finished with dessert Tapas!!! A favourite of my Victorian family for... More

The last time i visited here i didn't enjoy it so i was reluctant to return but it suited my friend who works close by. We decided to share some tapas and wine. First tapas was the special pork sliders. We received three tiny little buns with coleslaw and shredded pork, nice but tiny, nothing amazing. The pan friend chorizo,... More

This restaurant provides a great food experience with an interesting and different wine list that has been very well selected to complement their very excellent menu. Their Chefs obviously know their stuff. The service from the front of house staff each time we have been there has been attentive and seamless. We would highly recommend this as a restaurant everyone... More

We were shown upstairs into a large, unattractive room (reserved for large group parties?) so our experience did not start well. Downstairs whilst crowded looked more appealing. Perhaps downstairs would have offered better service as well –tucked away out of sight might have explained why it took an age toi get the first drinks order delivered. So, décor scores low... More

We visited Geelong for 2 nights to attend a wedding and stumbled across this restaurant on our first night whilst walking towards the foreshore intending to dine further down at the waterfront. Wow, what a find! The staff so helpful, attentive, the food was fantastic with a great variety, we chose the Tapas for 4 and we loved every dish,... More
