Review Jarks Cityside Restaurant & Bar - Hastings

3/8/23 First time here. We came in without a booking, thankfully we were seated at a leaner. Lots of seating and even at 11am was starting to get busy. A good range of food and drink on the menu, and the prices are reasonable. I had the seafood chowder which was very good. My partner has the beef cheeks which was cooked to perfection. So we have found a spot that we will frequently go to. I recommend trying this place, ring to book a table to be safe. I will post photos next time, and there will be a next times!! 2/9/23 Jarks for lunch, beautiful so opted for outside seating. Beef cheeks was lovely as always, the fish and chips were good fish was delicious. This spot is my new fav!

'Steak' was the demand from our daughter, so a quick google found Jarks. The reviews looked good and as it was only 3 minutes walk from our Motel, off we went. It was 6pm on a Friday and the place had a good vibe, and the staff looked happy to be there. Table service was prompt. The rare eye filet was cooked great.

Always such a lovely atmosphere and the food is so yummy 😋 with fast friendly service. Highly recommend!

Lovely place for dinner. We all had Ribeye steak and it was yum. Not a scrape left on the plate. Highly recommend a visit.

Love this restaurant so cozy. All the staff are very friendly and appreciated there help much. The food taste is really great and nice presentation for all foods they delivered. Love it!

Lovely food, great service, was quite noisy, but it was busy.

5 stars for the meal, the service and the vibes. Garlic pizza bread a crumbed beef schnitzel was delicious.

Really great place. Lovely atmosphere and they were so accommodating when I came in late. Great beer service.

Really helpful and friendly staff, great food served in good time - even though they were full of people. Good food :)

An excellent evening spent at Jarks. 10 of us went for a family birthday and it was a great experience. We sat down and the server introduced herself and asked if we wanted drinks and then starters. They came out quickly and were delicious. We ordered mains and the wait wasn't bad. However when the meal came out they had stuffed 2 of the orders up so they gave us the wrong meals but also made our original meals too. They didn't charge us for the 2 people who's meals were wrong. They also told as as when they spotted the error. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. The place was busy but not crowded. The staff were helpful, and very polite. I 10/10 reccomend coming here

The best like always. We never book as always last minute thing, let's go out for tea and like always the best service ever and the food is always spot on. We keep going back because of the staff, service and the food xx. Love you guys. Thanks heaps
