    From the outside looks like a run-of-the-mill pub however the interior of the dining area was spacious and done up nicely decor wise. Plenty of light. Food was excellent.

    Service was no great and having to pay 13.5% service charge did not equal the level of service. Our order was taken without the waiter writing it down. He forgot our starters so we had to remind him and then he forgot our chips for our main course. The chips didn’t arrive until we were nearly finished eating. The foccacia was below average but the steak for the main course was very tasty.

    First time eating here and it was absolutely lovely taking my Dad here for Dinner while staying down in Hepburn Springs for the weekend. I will be telling my friends and family about this place as the Building heritage architectural was beautiful.

    Streak was outstanding. The best steak we have had in years. The barramundi special was dry and overcooked and the butter bean mash not palatable. Outstanding service. I should have returned the fish to give them an opportunity to rectify. My bad.

    Food was very very average. Roast Chicken Salad was huge bed of smeared rocket lettuce with tiny strips of chicken sparsley through the thick bed of rocket. Chips seemed like heated up frozen chips Focaccia Bread was crumbly and cold

    Food is that of an upscale pub, I had beer battered fish & chips, hubby had the eye fillet. Both were good but not great, lighting in there was quite dim even at lunchtime on a sunny day. Staff were lovely
