My group of 7 people all had a fantastic dining experience! 😃⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A few more vegan options on the food & wine menu would make returning more appealing.

It was very cold, the freezing breeze was coming through the gap of the door, otherwiseatmosphere nice. Foodwise very expensive for average meal. Steak was fatty and undercookered, hot chips $3 for very tiny little bowl, salad ok, desserts amazing though. Last time we were there it was delicious thats why I brought friends back, a bit disappointed this time sorry

The good: opens at 5pm where all other dinner joints open later at 6pm (on Sundays) Friendly front staff and waitress Car parks available Food was overpriced - vegetarian burger cost me $26 with chips and onion rings. Yes it was huge, but quality over quantity in this case, onion rings were soggy, the tomatoes and cucumbers looked sad and patty was dry. My boyfriend’s steak was overlooked, the mashed potatoes were lumpy.

Ordered house dips and bread fro started. It was just plonked down in front of us not telling us what the the dips were. They tasted ok. For mains my husband had a burger which he saw as ok nothing to go out of his way for whereas I had pulled pork which seemed over cooked and sweet. Then it was placed ontop of some potatoes which was soggy

staff were friendly, food was nice. Good priced for good portion. Would be good to have more variety of prawn dish on the menu rather than just a prawn salad.

Our table of 10 inc 3 children plus a 2yr old and a 12 month old probably accounted for a noisier venue that night and we were pretty talkative catching up with one another for the first time in 18 months!!! Hope the other patrons weren't too put out.

My partner ordered the ribs and enjoyed his meal. However, I ordered the beef schnitzel and did not. It was more crumbing than anything else. It was a really average schnitzel and it was very expensive! I also had to pay an extra $4 for gravy, so my schnitzel ended up costing over $30! Extremely overpriced for an average to below average meal. Was very disappointed. I was just glad I didn’t walk into the restaurant starving. The service and staff were very friendly.

Food cold, salad looked like it had been made hours before serving it. Cobwebs in the restrooms, menus stained and dirty. No atmosphere ( felt like i was eating in a cafeteria). Its only saving grace was the waitressing staff. Not sure if the restaurant has been taken over because its nothing like it use to be.
