Love the food, consistent quality and excellent service
We were a party of 6, we were celebrating a birthday lunch, and it was wonderful, the staff were attentive and the food was fabulous, thank you for a great afternoon
We have a two course theatre meal and both plates were excellent. Barramundi starter was very tasty while the main course was well presented, good serving size and again as with the first course a delight to saviour. My partner also comment on the quality of her dishes that were different to my selection. Overall very pleased, and timing was just right and finished at a time that allowed a leisurely walk to the Arts Centre.
Staff were helpful and knowledge about the courses provided. Only draw back was their menu prices on the web were outdated but the amounts charged to us were honoured rather than printed published prices. Nevertheless the prices as per now are very competitive and represent good value.
