    The service was good and the staff were very friendly. The food was tasty, however, the burramundi is a very small main and needed a side. However I didn't know this, and I was still hungry afterwards and had to buy fruit immediately after.

    Went for steak night but meat was full of fat and gristle. Hard job cutting it with a steak knife. Not cooked over flame, more likely a hot plate. Served rare as requested but not a drop of blood as dry. Disappointed as expected far better and tastier food. Shame.
