Nice staff, nice food. It was busy, but we didn’t wait too long and staff were honest about the fact we’d wait a little bit. We were hairy with it all.

Service was questionable, too many wait staff coming to ask us if we’d ordered then no one knew if we’d ordered. Kids meal came out wrong then waited 20 minutes for a take away box which cost $1.00. Food was a bit tasteless and cocktails tasted pre made. Not great!

Enjoyed a great birthday celebration for our family of four. The staff were great and took this on board. A good range of dishes on offer. Plenty of variety and enjoyed some of the cocktails on offer. A great view of the lake only added to the experience.
