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.

Good food, although the burgers were a bit too saucy (the sauce was falling through the plate, through the gap in the wooden table, and onto my legs, fortunately I wore shorts). Service was quite slow, we waited a while to be acknowledged after walking in, and also waited a while to pay.
