    Usually consistently great, we go here often, however last night wasn’t as good. Bones in my barramundi + it was quite small compared to normal. Margarita I usually get is $21, it couldn’t be supplied as they had no strawberry syrup, was given another syrup option, but it was half the size & the same price.

    The chilli prawn pasta dish ( a special) unfortunately had mushrooms in it.This was not listed as an ingredient and would not have been ordered if this was known. When a server asked about our food and we spoke of the ‘surprise mushrooms’ in the dish, he just said to ask to have them left out next time???? Another of our group could not eat their chicken schnitzel as it looked a grey colour not golden like it should have. Also dry.

    We go to try the weekend specials every week. I had the Stuffed Chicken Breast Grilled chicken breast stuffed with cheese, wrapped in bacon, and served with creamy mashed potatoes, roasted heirloom carrots, asparagus, and creamy pesto sauce. Absolutely amazing and a very generous meal for just $28, outstanding Thank you Palmwoods hotel staff for another great weekend lunch

    I booked a table for on the balcony last week only to find when we arrived the table allocated was taken by others, so the whole process was a complete waist of time. It only works if the restaurant in question follows through.
