    Only problem I had was I ordered the roast of the day. Very tasty but the lamb was cut too thick for me. I didn’t say anything as it was very tasty and the vegetables were very good. The other 3 people in my party said their food was excellent.

    Great food and lively atmosphere. Generally good value for money. Only part I didn't like was that it took >20 minutes to receive our food.

    We had a lovely meal on a Monday evening. The menu selection suited us perfectly and was just what we were looking for. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the food arrived in very good time, and was delicious. Best carbonara in a long time.

    Visited again whilst on holiday in Nelson Bay after two years away. The food and the service was still good value. Both our two girls 8 and 10 enjoyed the menu. We then booked for Christmas day - was again had a good experience. Family orientated and nothing seemed rushed or too much trouble. Mike

    The seared scallops were excellent.however the meat tasting platter was disappointing. The pork was beautifully cooked but the other two meats were substandard.
