Me and my friend went for the bottomless lunch the host was lovely and the drinks were good way to much ice that you couldn’t drink through the straw though. One of the bar tenders was super rude to my friend he had a hat and was short he barley filled drinks halfway before pilling on so much ice which he then pushed down with his bare hand we ended up scooping off the top layer of ice once we got back to our table. 100% not enough food for a bottomless also not clear enough that it was only bottomless drinks and not bottomless food as well, food was not great the 4 pieces of cauliflour was bland and soggy as were the 2 spring rolls, calamari was fine but only two piece is ridiculous the same with the aranchini, the chips were good and that was all the food me and my friend went and got more food after we left as we were still hungry was not worth the money and we won’t be back.

Great value food package. The steak with salad & chips was great. We enjoyed it with the drinks included, whether it was the schooner of beer, a glass of shiraz, or ginger ale.

The quick lunch meals at $25 are great value for the size of the meal + drink. We were a group of 6 and all our meals were excellent. We need to better understand when ordering via the app how to ensure all our meals and drinks arrive together. 1 drink didn't arrive until we chased for it which was after all our meals had been delivered. But it was just a matter of asking one of the very friendly staff. We find the music is very loud here and it's really hard to talk and hear each other. It's a great place to go for lunch on a work day.

The only improvement I would like to suggest is to lower the volume of the overhead music as it can be difficult to hear each other talking. Other than that, fantastic.

Have been here many times for the drinks, but this was the first time for the food. The $59 set menu was great value and the staff were super accommodating and lovely as we were a group with 3 kids and they were so patient and kind. I had the steak which was cooked perfect medium and the sides were excellent too. Couldn't speak more highly of this dining experience - it was a pleasant surprise for sure!

Too loud as there is not much sound absorption. Recommend once a while have a live band.

I organised a large table for my 40th and the time we had for the bottomless package was so fun! The staff were so lovely, attentive and really made us feel welcomed. The food was average but for the value with drinks it was nice! Drinks are on tap but it just meant that we really got our moneys worth because it took no time to make. Thank you to the team on Sat. We had a great time!
