    Upon arrival we ordered beers & softdrink from the bar. We 3 adults all got the same beer - a Hazy beer that was on tap. The beer was placed on top of the fonts (see attached pic). The first pour looked good, the second two pours looked like they were from the bottom of the keg, but we headed to our table and waited for others to join us. The beer didn't taste great. But we persisted. However, I just couldn't drink mine. Not usually one to complain, I still braved up the courage to head to the bar to question the integrity of the beer. Only to be told by the Bar Manager - "it's a Hazy beer" and "that's why is 6%" My reply - "yeah mate, I know what a Hazy beer is" as he was pouring a beer from the Hazy tap to prove a point, while not acknowledging me at all! And then commented - "We probably just need to shake the keg" (or something to that affect). Yeah, mate, I am a brewer (not that I look like one) and I know that shaking the keg is only going to make things worse! While he was griping and carrying on, he was flanked by 4 other bar staff - 3 on the serving side with him and 1 on the customer side next to me. That person on my side also commented on how different the beer looked, comparing the beer I had bought up to the bar and what the Bar Manager was pouring, saying - "Yeah, that looks heaps better". The Bar Manager still mumbled and grumbled under his breath about the beer and it being a Hazy and that's what it is and some other ramblings that I couldn't hear, and didn't care to hear. At the end of the day the beers cost $11 each and he had to pour another one. Did that break the bank for the night? I doubt it. But do not ever question the customer and assume that they know nothing about beer.

    * Diner 1 I dined at Breezes last night with my sister and had ordered a $25 bowl of Chicken Laska. On ordering, I had requested that the Laska without the chicken pieces and instead requested that it be replaced with vegetables. On receipt of my Laska, I noted the soup was very watery, very diluted and lacking vegetables, except one piece of tofu. It was almost as if the chef was cost saving to make the soup last for more bowls. This was my fourth visit to Breezes, and I found the visit lacking in value for money, basically I paid $25 for a bowl of hot water. I am extremely disappointed, and I will not be returning or recommending the restaurant to friends or my family members. On a positive note, I have previously eaten the fish and chips dish and I had found that this was very delicious and value for money. *Diner 2 Order as per Menu CRISPY SKINNED SALMON GF DF - paid $34. chilled potatoes, green beans, salmon pearls, Mediterranean style salad, lemon aioli, balsamic glaze, micro herbs I changed the original order: replace chilled potatoes with creamy mash potatoes. This may have contributed to a miscommunication in my overall order. I received: one piece of crispy skinned Salmon and creamy mashed potatoes only. I did not receive green beans, salmon pearls, Mediterranean style salad, lemon aioli, balsamic glaze and micro herbs. I feel overall, the service was good however the portion size of the food ordered nil salad, etc. as above, resulted in a disappointing dining experience and I left feeling hungry.

    Service left a lot to be desired. despite reading recent reviews of suboptimal service and a friend relating her poor experience, we decided to give it a try but sadly, we were disappointed. the recent reviews were definitely accurate. service was slow; we had to follow up on our co-diner's meals twice and were given a poor excuse as to why the food was late (we actually ordered immediately one after the other, yet food was delivered 15mins apart). the only reason why i gave 3 stars is because the food was tasty and was very filling (none of us could finish our meals). the portions were quite large for the prices, so it was value for money.

    Service could use some work, walked up to the counter as we booked a reservation and asked if we could just sit anywhere as there was no one there. The staff member nodded her head without even a smile, not a single word, not even “hello welcome”

    My $44 scotch fillet was was over. I had asked for medium rare, bloody, but it was at least medium, no blood…, I didn’t send it back this time but I often have to as it’s happened a few times. When done as requested it’s sooo tasty.

    Picked to come to breezes for the special mothers day things to make my mum feel special. I wasn't aware mothers day is only a morning thing and not all day!!! We would have gone elsewhere had we have known. Felt the advertising was very misleading and we wasn't the only ones.

    I probably wouldn't recommend for brunch - the meal I had (smashed avo) was stone cold. I think the smashed avo had been kept in the fridge or defrosted from frozen and it made the eggs cold (which weren't poached properly). The burger couldn't be finished, partly due to the egg being overcooked and too tough to chew. Can't fault the chips - they were perfect and delicious. I have been for dinner before and it was ok, but this was really disappointing. Staff were great too!

    Food was good. Staff were helpful when approached. Would advise against sitting in booth 1 as midway through the meal water came from the ceiling and landed in the gravy. Gave the kids a giggle but not ideal!

    We visited on Sunday lunch time and it was chock a block full, the venue is fantastic especially if you have kids, there is an indoor playground to keep them occupied while you take a break. Staff were really helpful and when my ratbag kids wouldn't get away from the cake display the manager offered to cut a slice for them so I could sit and enjoy lunch! Service for our stay went over and above. It was pretty loud admittedly with the acoustics and high ceilings and lots of b'day parties in motion but that wasn't a bother. Beautiful pizzas and I was told the pulled lamb and fetta burger was outstanding! Very much worth a visit.

    The service was fine and staff friendly and helpful. Unfortunately the food was disappointing , the gnocchi was inedible and salmon well cooked but the dressing really detracted from the dish and not needed. Noise levels made it difficult to hear.

    We attended last night; we found the venue very loud and echoing. We realize that there was a Quiz Night, on, but we found it too noisy. The service was quite slow it took an hour for us to get our meal. I think some noise reduction within the building would help. Thaks Clare
