Half way through my meal I was asked to move my car as I was in someones parking spot. I went and moved my car and apparently thats just where someone always parks. Not a reserved spot. I looked again no signage. After messing around with my car for several minutes I returned and my dinner was cold. The food and drinks are worth a second visit but Im not getting messed around with parking again and a cold dinner. 4 stars for food, 3 stars on the price and a 2 star in parking. =3/5 stars

The quality of the steak and ribs is up with the best, service is attentive, polite and some what adorable. Downside, don't go too early unless you want to eat with geriatrics and children. The decor is close to a sad unloved Chinese restaurant and an Australiana diner. Not pretty ! Drop the front window vinyls to table level, put your tables of 2 to the front would be a good start. All up it's a good local steakhouse you can rely on.

The menu has enough variety to satisfy everyone without being overwhelming. The selection of drinks is good too and they have good beer on tap. The majority of the staff are pretty good, but there are one or two who need more training, however this is not a complaint as the restaurant only opened recently. I had the Butchers Burger with extra cheese. I couldn't finish it but it was delicious. I hope they allow dogs somewhere at the front of the restaurant, as I noticed there are lots of people with dogs in the area (I'll be one of them) and I think making the place dog-friendly will give it a warmer, village feel to it.

We had always wanted to try this place, as it's local, looks clean and smart, has been there for over 30 years, and it's seafood! What's not to love? Well, quite a bit, actually. It started off well, I'll give it that. The Sydney Rock Oysters were obviously freshly dry shucked, and were absolutely top notch. I didn't even mind having to spit out a bit of shell. Mal's Calamari was also top quality seafood. Beautiful, tiny things, lightly battered, but a tad on the floury side, and lacking seasoning. Not a bad start, and we were excited about our mains..Well, we were, till we got them. I had ordered prawns, which were served like you would expect garlic prawns at a Tapas bar, sort of kind of, except they were served in a bloody great big cast iron pan, in half a litre of oil. Gaaahhh!! They were all different sizes, and ranged from rubber bullets to OK on the cooking. Completely underwhelming. Mal ordered the John Dory, which was a bit dry, and was served with seasonal vegetables. He said the potatoes were greasy and bland though, and that everything on his plate needed a bit of love (Kind of ironic, as it was a Valentines Day menu.) Oh well, we had a bit of a laugh, and hoped dessert would redeem them a bit...What lovely, hopeful things we are! Siiiiigh. The vanilla panacotta was beautifully set, except, it was Coffee panacotta, not vanilla and I am not a fan of coffee desserts. Mal had Mango with Vanilla Bean Gelato, except there was no vanilla bean in it, and the mango was kind of so so. Upsides? The staff are friendly, and the wine by the glass is in generous serving sizes, and the company, of course, was excellent! I thought the whole experience was very average, and at $80.00 a head, far from good value. Just as well we still plan to get laid anyway, and were not counting on the meal to work it for us!

When I saw this big sign saying, they now serve wood fired pizzas - I thought it was a good time to check it out. Only they didn't serve wood fired pizzas when I got there. Whaaat? (I thought to myself). The mains come out. There are a few fish mains that were ordered by the non-vegetarians including the boneless flat head fish ($34) and the John Dory Fillets ($38). The food is fine but not amazing. It's on par with the local fish and chip shop but just double the prices. The prices are too much for the food. The food is average. I wasn't happy about the false advertising about the pizzas. With it's sleeker looking shop front - I would have expected more.

Once inside, you'll see the counter isn't filled with your usual deep fried hunks of indistinguishable fish, instead there's an array of colourful salads made up of prawns and other seafood. There are also trays of scallops, crab claws, calamari, oysters and all sorts of breeds of fish marinading in Olde Fashioned's special sauces. These are available to be fried up whilst you order, though it's advisable to order ahead, as we did, so that it was packaged and ready for us when we arrived 15 minutes later. The prices are mercifully decent and service very cheery, especially considering it was the Friday night boom. Our whiting was a cracking blend of crispiness on the outside and tender flesh on the inside, while the chips were chunky and crunchy, the best mixture for any easy as pie Friday night chippie!
