    Front of house were attentive and the food was fresh and well presented. Both dishes were enjoyable and the time between courses was perfect. Would dine here again.

    My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the Autumn Pot Pie offer and also had a side of vegetables. We also got to enjoy the buffet breakfast twice during our stay and whilst some tomatoes and mushrooms would have been a nice addition, what was on offer was great given the space that they have. The staff were very welcoming and attentive, and its great having a restaurant on-site after travelling all day.

    I have never had such shocking food in any restaurant. A tiny narrow piece of salmon was burnt with charcoal edges and tpped with some dust to cover the burns. Consequently the salmon was dry and horrible. It was served with half a slice of zucchini and one tiny broccoli flowerette. For $40 it was a total ripoff and something easily made at home with more veg for under $15. My partners ' steak also was over cooked and shrivelled. Service did not exist, only taking the order and bringing the plate after a very long wait. I would advise all to avoid this restaurant.

    We had the $25 honey glazed salmon with a glass of wine. It was delicious, well presented & the wine was reasonably good quality as well. We also had sticky date pudding for dessert which was also quite tasty. All in all a great meal & exceptionally great value.

    Friendly staff but perhaps lacking slightly in training. But nothing that was an issue. Food was very well presented and tasted wonderful. The atmosphere was pleasantly nice. Food was prepared fast and was a good price (slightly costly but the tasted and look was very good).
