    Beautiful venue but a little pricey. I had the barramundi special and found it a little bland.

    I booked the dinning room for our luncheon as it was somewhat of an occasion for our family. I was exceedingly disappointed with the timing of our meals, 5 meals arrived at the table very promptly but the final meal arrived as everyone else was finishing. I did not feel this was worthy of the 15% surcharge.

    Think twice before going to the Old E on ANZAC day. Everything is good as usual but there wasn’t enough servicing and cooking staff for the small amount of patrons plus 15 % surcharge as well.

    The food was good but it would have been great if we knew that the kitchen closed at 2 pm as we wanted to order desert. Out booking was at 1 pm so we needed to allow time before we ordered desert which we could not do which was very disappointing

    Meals are getting pricier on the specials board. Today had the public holiday surcharge and they didn’t even recognise membership discounts. Again we had to wait a hour for our lunch while one person was served an entree as her only meal, so that the rest of us had to wait till the kitchen did mains. And then it turned out that three of our remaining orders were from the entree section but they came out with the mains. We all ordered our one dish at the same time with the same table number yet the staff member taking the orders did not put them all through together. Staff need to ask the patron who orders only an entree if they want it to come out with the mains.
