Food was good but waiting 50 minutes for our meal when they weren't that busy was disappointing!! After initial drinks order we were never asked again for further drinks. No apology for meals taking so long to come out and no one asked how the meals were or if we wanted dessert/coffees. Need to improve service as it lets down how good the food is!!!

We were enthusiastic about dining here as we’ve seen the venue on previous visits. We were just a bit disappointed with the butter served frozen and it was a bit cold in the restaurant. Great steak, mediocre chicken wings.

It's absolutely worth the slightly higher price at Carmel's as you will not be disappointed. We had the marinated lamb rump and my partner had the steak. It was all fantastic.

The food was lovely. But is was extremely expensive for the casual atmosphere and cruising on offer. We waited far too long for dinner to be served.

Food was very tasty, hot and well presented, with a big selection to choose from. There was a good selection of well priced wines. Seats were a bit hard on the rear end ! ( maybe provide cushions for patrons ?). Service was a bit of a slow and waiters didn't know which courses we had. Overall the restaurant provided good food and wine at a reasonable price.
