"Will visit again for sure"

"The food was slightly better than average and the food didn't take overly long to cook. Service for me was good but I feel its selection on the menu is slightly better than other places. I've been twice, not sure whether I'll be back again. I did find it a little pricey but the seafood I got was a good portion." more reviews

We went as a work group of 44 people $45 set menu. One good thing is if they don't show you don't pay , it is a nice clean place with lots of familes. On a winters night it was very cosey.

The staff were very slow, not interested in taking your order. The food wasn't very nice, not somewhere i would go again.   (July, 2008)

Overall 6 - Food 8, Ambience 4, Value 7, Service 5

The restaurant was cold inside, had to leave our jackets on for the whole time. Prompt to be seated and take drink orders, but entree and mains took a long time. Email booking was not picked up by restaurant but they had room. Food was good, and the manager was very friendly and helpful but she was rushed of her feet. I think a bit understaffed. Turn on some heat and hire another person!   (July, 2008)
