    booked a table for 10 for a hens dinner located near dance floor , not the best locations constantly chairs bumped. more disappointed 1st we ordered 2 sharing platters $110 , waiting staff were to eager to remove from the table and took it away when unfinished - grazing means taking your time a lot of food was ordered and drinks , thought when we booked we were on the high level as been there many many times for years this time disappointed with location and rude patrons who thought it was ok to join our group uninvited, taking our food before finished frustrating

    I haven’t been to this venue in years and it seems that it’s not a place to just go out as a couple to eat dinner. The food was tasteless. The atmosphere is for those who are with a bunch of friends who want to have a good night and maybe get a bite to eat if they get the munchies. I won’t be going back to eat.

    Great neighbourhood gem. Good for families or partying, depending on when you go. Live Music three times a week including cruisy acoustic Sunday sessions. Lots of car parking surrounding the venue and friendly staff.

    We waited nearly an hour for 1 cocktail jug ! My friend received her food after waiting 1 and a half hours and it was just a simple cheese pizza I had 2 lamb pockets left on my plate and went to the toilet while my friends were still at the table and the server cleared them away and ignored my friends saying that I was still eating them. We then waited another 45 minutes for a second jug We brought the above up with the staff and asked to speak to a manager but again this request was ignored This whole experience ruined our evening.

    The food was good but there are better food places around the area. We were a party of two and somehow our drinks came at different times. I had to prompt staff to bring me my drink and also to get us a bottle of water, well into our meals. Staff were friendly and welcoming, from the bouncer at the door to the waitress.

    All meals were way too salty. Risotto just smeared on a plate. No presentation at all.
