Delicious . Nothing over cooked , hubby was a prawn fisherman and nothing he hates more that over done mushy seafood . Lovely scallops, prawns in garlic butter, arugula salad, gorgeous calamari, and tender fish. The potato fries were an odd combo. They felt too heavy for the lightness of seafood Some nice sourdough on the side would have suited better and would have been great for sopping up the delicious sauces. Bring your own wine if you wish it as they don't serve bevies here .

It's a modem looking place with white decor, exposed timber and plantation shutters. The food is good, big helpings and typical pub grub. There is a great separate kids room with three Xbox to keep the kids entertained. The kids rooms has a camera that streams live on to one of the TVs so parents can watch their kids from the bar. Out the back in the smoking area with a pool table. Perfect for a lazy afternoon drinks with friends, a meal with the family or late night drink.

The service was friendly and the food was great. I ordered the lamb cutlets with rosemary crumb and full of flavour, I got 3 cutlets with chips and salad and it was a big meal for me. My partner ordered the chicken parmigiana and it was huge, also came with chips and salad. Recommend this place, they have raffles on Friday nights which is bloody busy. Beer is cold and they do specials. Coffee and cake will set you back $9

We got Palak Makhani and a veggie korma to take away in a Backpackers Special with naan, rice and papadams for just $14 each and it was absolutely delicious.

We ordered the turkish bread with dukkah and balsami $6.50 prawn and avocado fettuccini $28 and lamb rump with mustard and egg $25 and the fish and chips kids meals with ice cream and sprinkles $10.50. Not the cheapest meal around, but it was nice food for a doggy town... I'm afraid the only food... besides fish and chips. The wait staff were friendly and the food didn't take long to come out. Ignoring the fact we all had a mild tummy ache afterwards, the food was nice... but not superb.
