    I recommend the popcorn prawns. The service was good there and very fast and the manager on shift was very lovely and helped me with any issues I had

    Worst dining experience we’ve had! Service was not up to standard, taking more than 45 before drink/entree orders were taken. Also tables were disgusting, no cleaning and dirty plates left on tables for over an hour.

    Took ages to be served, we ordered honey bread and mains and drinks. People who had ordered way after us got there food where us. We received our main before the entree and our drinks last. Our steak was undercooked when asked for a well done Very upsetting when it was for our anniversary which we don’t get to do often without our children and choose to treat ourselves

    Only visit 1 or 2 times a year but was happy with service. Staff were attentive and polite. Food was cooked perfectly. 4 meals with 1 of them lamb chops which were average and a bit fatty, but that's the nature of the cut at times. Other meals were great.

    Service nonexistence food took a long time to arrive. Ordered a meal with mash potato could have thrown on the roof it would have stuck. Very gluggy and could not eat.

    For a Sunday it was pretty quiet, the noise level was still relatively loud, the service was absolutely terrible, was ignored and given one worded answers on any questions we had food/service related. The food was mostly cold, hard and disappointing, really expensive for what it is. Overall was mostly disappointed by the service and the lack of cleanliness and politeness from the staff towards customers, more interested in their own conversations than service.

    Hi Leah, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m truly sorry to hear about your experience—it’s certainly not the level of service we aim to provide. I appreciate your honesty regarding the food and service issues, as it helps us improve. I’ll be addressing your concerns with our team to ensure we do better in the future. I hope you’ll consider giving us another chance to provide the experience you deserve. Best, Deanne
