I went to this restaurant with my family, ordered Lamb Shank which was supposed to be served with…read moreserved with a mint gravy sauce, broccolini & creamy mash potato, when it came out it was in a 'sort of' broth, no mint taste, the broccolini was limp & the mash was floating in the water/broth. Very disappointed, spoke with the waiter who really didn't want to do anything spoke with someone, came back & said this is the way it comes. If you don't like it, order something else but you have to pay. The meat itself tasted like it had been boiled to death, no taste. It cost me $52.45 for 2, yes, I had to pay a levy for using my credit card. Would never go back. Maureen Watson - Unhappy customer...

When I tried to get the servers attention she ignored me. Good thing I like hot sauce I guess. I then ordered the 300g prime rib medium rare. The best part of this meal was the chips. The steak was medium / well done and more chewy than an old boot. The mushroom sauce was OK, but the steak, supposedly the hero of the dish was the villain. Sadly, another co-worker at the table also ordered the 300g prime rib and he was overcooked also. Another ordered the 500g rump and referred to his as a leather belt. Very disappointed. I didn't bother with desert in case they screwed that up also.

The food is simple and tasty, it's no fancy restaurant but we can never complain for the price. One downside is that there is not a lot of staff, sometimes it takes a while to be served as during the day there may only be one waiter/waitress and one barman. Altogether is a a relaxing place for a cheap lunch on the weekend, we love it!

Friends and I came here for my first day on an Australian vacation. I'd forgotten that table…read moreservice restaurants are a rarity in this country so was pretty confused about ordering and even getting water, luckily I was there with local friends that guided me through the process. The food was great, we all ended up ordering steak and ribs with a pizza bread appetizer to share, but even the non-table service service left something to be desired. It took ages for our food to come out, despite the restaurant not being that busy (there was a large party near us that already received their orders and about four other tables of 2-3). When our food finally arrived, it was our mains and the pizza bread didn't come. My friend complained and they brought it out relatively quickly, but by then we weren't really hungry for it; should have just asked to have it refunded.
