Food was nice but only luke warm, took forever to arrive at our table, but the restaurant wasn't that busy. Service was average, very disappointed with everything.

awesome service, consistently good food. Great for family dinner, or a night with friends. Nice work team

Booked for a group. Great service from staff. Group orders taken quickly and efficiently. Food arrived at same time. We'll present steak cooked medium as requested.
Helpful with gf.
Plenty of gf mains but be aware fries are cooked in same oil as non gf food.
Only one gf starter. Only option for dessert: icecream Sunday. All toppings gf. My sundae arrived with wafer biscuits. I reminded the waitress that I required gf. The sundae was taken out to the kitchen and wafers removed. I didn't get a different Sunday. On the whole service was efficient, pleasant and helpful.
Parking on street and in mall area.
Wheel chair access. Child friendly.
Seem to be very aware of vegetarian and vegan options.
Generous servings.
My partner enjoyed his warm chicken salad, and lime and lemon cheese cake.

Quite busy on the Tuesday night we visited as a couple but we were shown to a table immediately. Bit of a delay in meals arriving but nothing catastrophic and the food was excellent...lamb hotpot & seafood works both first class. There's a busy and very popular bar here as well. Genuine asset to the community. Service was good. Pricing was OK. Two mains & two drinks = .00

We don't eat out often so it's always a treat. Waitress was unattentive and aloof. My food arrived when my husband's was 2/3 completed. My drink order was incorrect. When my steak arrived it it was as dry and tough as old boots (ordered med/ well), my veggies were limp, cold and inedible. The chips were clearly old and refried multiple times (all 10 of them) When I asked the waitress about them she said that they were fresh, that they had been cooked that morning!?! Fresh?? An offer to make a new meal after waiting so long was obviously not an option. She then said after speaking to the manager that I wouldn't be charged for the plate of food! I had eaten 2 bites! I have to say the manager was great in the end, not charging us for the drinks we had, even if mine was wrong.The waitress did offer a free takeaway burger but I was not willing to eat it, even if it was free. Won't be back , sorry.
