Meal was terrible. From menu I ordered Calamari with Rocket & fennel salad & lime mayonnaise without fries. Food arrived with fries & a limp salad of few mixed lettuce leaves, radish, cucumber & tomato with tartare sauce. Calamari overcooked. Barely edible. No fennel, rocket or lime mayonnaise as described on the menu. Complained to waitress and she apologized. Would never go back.

Beautiful place, I love coming here! So nice to sit outside on a summer night with fairy lights and surrounded by Belgrave rainforest greenery, usually they have Friday night live music and Sunday live music. There are tables in the beer garden section right next to flowing the river, how serene and gorgeous! Very ambient place. We had to ask for the outside speaker music to be turned down as it was a bit too loud, they happily accommodated. Very friendly staff, great service, you can tell they were maybe a little understaffed and they admitted the kitchen was under the pump, however this did not really affect us and we completely understood. Great food, extensive alcohol list, we loved sharing the entrees in our group. Calamari is amazing! Previously I have had lunch there twice, winter is nice with the fire place! Summer dinner here was beautiful, definitely a must do:) Book ahead or miss out!
