    Weather was perfect for we opted for outdoor seating! Food and service always great here! Was a vibe, we had a great night always do. Would be great if a speaker could be out side so you can hear the live music. But when I booked I chose to sacrifice the music for the outdoor seating

    Food was delicious, steak cooked to protection We chose to sit outside as it was such a lovely night, this was a mistake, road noise made it hard to talk and to top it off table behind us was a table of loud foul mouthed guys This is no reflection on the restaurant as we have been here many time and will return just wont sit outside

    It is the ideal venue for us to meet and dine every 6 months. Food and the service was very good. To day of course very quiet and we enjoyed the stay there.

    The service was amazing but the food was extremely disappointing. The nachos did not taste like traditional nachos.. they had capsicum and a very weird condiment. The cauliflower bites were really greasy and soggy and the cheese and meat bites were bad too. The only food thing was the Arancini balls. I won’t be coming back. They need to do something about the quality of the food. However the service was very good! Everyone was very friendly.

    We were left extremely disappointed. We bought a platter to share for two people but the portion of meat on the platter was heavily subdued by an abnormal portion of chips & minimal veggies. When we choose a platter, we are mainly after the meat otherwise if we want such a chunky portion of chips we can always order the chips alone but not disguised as a platter. Please include a variety of veggies on your menu not just one.
