Three guests had informed the venue well in advance that they required Gluten free bread rolls. Unfortunately, this was obviously too difficult a request and the guests had not been given any food until well into the evening. There are only 4 female toilets to cater for 300 women. Definitely an OH&S issue and against Australian Regulations.

The sweeping staircase, stunning chandeliers, and gorgeous table settings have an air of elegance to them - whether at a debutante ball or wedding. Even the entrance and foyer to the building is beautiful, with a white exterior, and marble entrance. If you are planning a cinderella-esqe type event, where everything is traditional and sweeping grandeur then this is definitely the place for you. Both times I attended an event here, the food was delicious and the banquet service staff were great- they were especially good at keeping the drinks flowing, which is a big thumbs up for me.I just wish that the events held there could run later, though I guess that is the same with any function room -plus after they had kept the drinks flowing, it was probably better that I went home to bed anyway!

They appeared somewhat confused about whether they were in the right place or not. The server at the counter tried to help however there appeared to be confusion around whose name the booking was under. Anyway, eventually world order was restored and the party was pointed in the right direction. I stepped up to the counter and just as I asked for a table for three one of the elderly had returned to clarify some details. She didn't excuse herself or anything remotely courteous, she just began to talk over the top of me. The server then proceeded to answer the lady's questions about future functions, bookings and some basic pricing for a party. I found the whole thing quite annoying really. Especially when the server had already begun to engage with us. Perhaps it would have been much more appropriate to just direct us to our seats prior to accomodating the interrupter lady. It would have taken all of 10 seconds. We were eventually seated and given our menus. It was taken for granted that we knew the protocol, no explanation as to where to order, if there was table service, order drinks at the bar... nothing. A waitress came over after what I thought was an appropriate amount of time and asked if we were ready to place our food order. She was friendly however just left of centre in terms of enthusiasm but quite adept nonetheless. At least my question as to protocol was now answered. Our drinks arrived quite quickly and our meals soon after. We all ordered a chicken parma so unfortunately for the sake of this review I can only comment on one dish. The dish was nice, a decent sized parma with a generous topping of cheese and napoli sauce. The chicken was thick, I mean really thick as in a whole breast. I found it slightly unusual for a parma to be so thick however I must say it was cooked perfectly. It was cooked right through as chicken should be and it was moist. The accompanying chips were thick cut and quite tasty. The salad was actually quite a good salad with fresh ingredients and a nice dressing. In all, the meal as far as pub meals go was good. The place itself was ok, nothing stood out as being a feature however it was neat and clean. It is interesting to note the rather large car park was almost full. Upon arriving I thought we may struggle to get a seat however as it turns out about 95% of the visitors were in the pokey venue attached to the hotel. 'Conveniently' there were sliding doors directly from the restaurant into the gaming room. This was the first time I have visited this place and to be honest I don't know if I'll return. The food was ok, the service was ok and the facility was ok too however it just didn't press any buttons for me.

The restaurant opens for lunch and dinner daily, and a terrace cafe is available for more casual dining - the cafe also offers a daily breakfast for those early risers in the area. I've never eaten in the restaurant; however a catch up with friends over a coffee and a pastry is quite nice here. The Starlight room hosts all those dinner and show tribute nights - you know, where BABBA, or the legends of rock bust out the classics for a package price. It is also available for hire- I attended an engagement party, as well as a couple of 21st birthday parties here, and each time the room has been beautifully presented, and the service has been excellent. The finger food provided at all the parties has been delicious! So two thumbs up for consistency. Easy parking and a playground for kids makes the venue family friendly, and perfect for a nice evening out.
