    When we ordered the sign said 30 mins for food, which was fine as it was busy. Our food took an hour and when I enquired the staff member just shrugged and said “it was on its way”. The food is more expensive than other places of the same/better quality in the area plus the public holiday surcharge. When we ordered our food, they didn’t have enough change so basically said tough luck. Which was okay as it was only .5c but really it was just the final straw. We live locally and won’t visit again.

    The staff were friendly and great service. The food was very average. Calamari Main very poor salad, calamari tiny bits and included octopus pieces which is not calamari. Prawn pasta was tasty but only included 6 prawns, very oily. First visit will not return.

    Chicken parma was very tasty and a good sized portion. Funny that you need to self-serve.

    Fantastic venue, but service and food below average. Waited 55 minutes for 4 kids meals and two Parma's. Both Parma's burnt, one of the kids meals came out ten minutes after all the other meals. Staff friendly but service terrible, and over $300, not worth going there again.

    The Wooli tavern is our local. We have always given great reviews. We love going here, but last night the service was quite poor and food not up to the usual great standards. Staff rolled their eyes when we mentioned that there were not enough chairs at our table for everyone, that I had booked for.

    The meat for the parma and kids schnitzel was dry. The kids sappghetti in napolitana sauce was very disappointing. Pasta in tomato sauce. Why cant kids meals have flavour and actually be tasty. Overall disappointing as we came here 18 months ago and the food was amazing.
