I have a disability and asked an employee if I could please give him money to buy me a bag of peanuts from the front bar. He responded by telling me “you have to get them yourself “ when he clearly could see and after telling him that I have a disabled leg. I complained to the manager who was disappointed with the staff member.

Food was pretty good , however the lamb shank needed more cooking time as it was a little tough. The pork belly was superb as was the porchetta. The pear desert was nice but the pears probably needed a few more minutes cooking time. We also won a meat raffle which was a bonus to own experience. Overall a great place and we’ll be back.

I guess we picked a Saturday night so should have expected a lot of noise. However with the soccer on the TV, the AFL on the other TV and something else on out in the semi outside area the noise level was higher than expected. It was difficult to have a conversation.

Food was really good, the place was very busy and for the most part the service was good but a couple of staff members seemed a bit disinterested. There were also a couple of obnoxious patrons that probably should have been shown the door. The place was VERY noisy in the bistro but not enough to drown out a kid sitting next to us playing a handheld game at maximum volume. When some people left we moved tables.
