The Bailey Bar and Bistro - Joondalup

My husband and I ate here for dinner recently. The restaurant was empty so we were seated quickly. Had the 4 cheese croquettes as an entree. The croquettes were really nice but the sauce/chutney was even better. Our mains took approximately 30 min to come out which was weird considering we were the only ones dining. I also couldn't help but notice alot of the staff standing around with nothing to do. Regardless, I had the barramundi which was nice but lacked some seasoning. My husband had the ribs which were cooked perfectly however the sauce was a little too sickly sweet. All in all was a nice meal.

I 've been to The Bailey heaps of times. It 's one of my locals. I 've enjoyed most meals here but it 's always been standard pub fare until just now. I want to say 'new chef ': the menu is the same but now 2 nights in a row I 've been electrified by the presentation and the taste of the same old menu I 've been pillaging for the last 2years. The screens here hint at a new menu which I read as 'new chef ' and really, I 'm excited! This will be my go-to now instead of my alternative.

I was a bit concerned about previous reviews however we couldn't have asked for much better.  Most of the staff (except for one rude lady at the bar) were friendly, efficient and helpful. I had the steak and it was absolutely delicious!  My husband had the chicken parmigana and he did say it didn't have a lot of sauce, but wasn't unhappy.The staff were very happy for us to bring our own cake in, and checked with us if we were ready for it.Overall very happy and would return!

We arrived at 7:30 on a Friday night there wasn't much atmosphere at first it's a big place! but it got busy quite quickly. The food was surprisingly good; I had a steak it was cooked perfectly. The drinks were reasonably priced $26 for house sparkling was great value . And then at 9 the band Hi-NRG came on brought the house down. Top night!

Yum, yum, yum. Cannot fault this place, just went there last night (Thursday , food is awesome and I 've just come back from a trip in America/New York where the food is amazing, so I think 'awesome is just below 'amazing '. I had the linguine with prawns and bacon, so yum, shared half with my friend, she wouldn 't give it back to me! She had the goats cheese tart which was delicious too. Everyone 's meal looked so good, wanted to try it all. Not sure about the bad reviews, maybe different chefs on a different night. I went here last September too and the food was just as good. :
