This is a great place but sooo noisy, hard to hear oneself talk. We were able to change to another table in a less noisy area so that helped. The prawn curry is to die for!

We have been going to the WAG for years, food is consistent, service is dependable. It can get loud and tables are quite close together. We love that the menu hasn’t changed so our favourites are still available - portions remain the same so great value overall. It can get busy so reservations are highly recommended. Most recently we were there for our The servers appeared to be distracted and not attentive which is an unusual experience. But overall a continues to be a great local restaurant.
