• "The service was great, the timing was good, we didn't have to wait long to be served or to get our food."
• "The only thing I would rather have had would be a salad rather than the cooked vege with the mains (& some greens with the kids meals) but I really can't complain, it was great."
• "The service was brilliant, the two staff members who served us were very personable and couldn't do enough for us - a rare find these days!"

• "The food was good but the service was a bit slow, especially when we wanted to order dessert."

Food Quality

Pros:

• "The mixed grill was SO delicious and full of flavour, we even commented on how they managed to infuse flavour into the vegetables."
• "The fish basket my mum got had some of the most well cooked prawns, squid and fish we'd ever had."
