    We were left standing at the sign that says, wait here to be seated for quite a long time, they opened at 4pm this was now 5pm, fortunately a young lady arriving to work there, stopped to check us in and show us to a table, at this time there were more staff hanging around in groups talking than there were customers. Went to the bar to buy a drink and a male staff member looked at me then turned back to carry on his conversation, eventually he came over to serve me. I next went to the meal order counter, no staff member was present, a cook in the kitchen rang a bell to get the attention of any staff member, after some time, the young girl who had led us to our table served me, still rest of the gathered in groups chatting. When the meal arrived it was bearly warm, obviously took sometime after it had been prepared to be picked up and delivered to the table. When we finished our meals, the same young lady who at greeted us came to pick up our plates, we informed her of our disappointment with the meal and the service, I told her that if she wasn't there we would probably still be waiting at the check in, she offered to talk to the manager on our behalf and maybe get us a free glass of wine, we thanked her, but declined it was now very busy and noisy, shame its been our goto place for sometime, but not anymore.

    We always eat at lunch and usually choose from the lunch menu is just perfect. Of course the full menu is available which is absolutely perfect. The barramundi is fabulous as are all the burgers and sandwiches. The club is my personal favourite. Great balcony area for small groups or couples. Beer garden recommend for families with kids.

    we had a table on the balcony which was lovely but it must have been above a smoking area which was a bit gross at times. Lovely otherwise :)

    Brilliant from beginning to end! All the team, particularly Chrissie, bar staff, and Shane on security were so professional. Food was excellent as well as the wines, thank you! We will be back.
