He offered a number of meal options and we ended up settling on just ordering from the menu (Pre-ordering). Purchasing our drinks from the bar separately.The service was great. Plenty of staff and the meals did not disappoint, without any hiccups.As usual the meal sizes were very generous.Andrew also allowed us to bring along some decorations utilise a separate table for the Birthday cake.We basically took over the outdoor dining area near the pool.My mother had a lovely Birthday our guest were most impressed.Thankyou Andrew the team who made our day very memorable relaxed.Vicki

First and foremost, all the staff were attentive and helpful. The pre-dinner drinks, particularly the spiced cocktails, were excellent. The garlic pie appetizer was absolutely delicious. For the main course, we tried the whole fish and the stuffed chicken with pesto, both of which were beautifully presented and full of flavor. Overall, dining at this restaurant was a delightful experience.

I visited after reading Collins’ review, but it seems nothing has improved since then. I do not recommend this restaurant.

While the service was passable, the meals our group payed top dollar for left us stopping by Macca's on the way home. From gristly, flavourless stake, overcooked dry fish and a salty oily salad to a $20 dish providing four frozen prawns, some loose spinach leaf and inedible rice drowned in cream, this restaurant finally had me fulfilling my Gordon Ramsay dream of picking apart a meal rather than eating it. I can promise you won't have to worry about serving size, as no-one in our group was able to fully finish their meal. Even when washing it down with sub-par, watery cocktails, the only true highlight was the complimentary table water. With an overall cost of over $200 for the group (not budgeting for being well overcharged for the wine), this meal was truly a once in a lifetime experience (I hope).

I only found out when I overheard another patron discussing it. After l finding a table and sitting for about ten minutes, we began to wonder how to order drinks. My husband went to the bar to ask, and one of the staff members mentioned that someone would be over to take our order. When she finally came, we asked for a drink menu, and she responded, "Don't you have one?" Clearly, we did not. We finally received our drinks, and while the cocktail was perfect, it came without a straw, and we didn’t feel like asking for one. When it came time to order our meals, we chose the chicken pieces and bruschetta, which were both delicious — though we did watch as the chef mistakenly took our order to three different tables before finally serving us. It shouldn’t have been that difficult to identify us as table seven. When it was time to order our mains, the options were steak with Kilpatrick oysters, chicken breast with seafood, or risotto. Since we don’t eat seafood, we asked the waitress if the chef could provide an alternative topping. She replied that she didn’t think so, but I requested that she ask him, as we would have to leave without another option. Eventually, the chef offered us pepper gravy as a substitute. Honestly, couldn’t they have quickly prepared something like tomato and onion? They could’ve even used the bruschetta mix! When our meals arrived, the gravy was missing, and we had to ask for it again. The steak was tough, the chicken was dry, and it was served with cold rice and two pieces of cold broccolini. My husband ordered dessert since he was still hungry after the main course. In the end, we each had only one drink, and the bill came to just under $200. We will not be returning and will advise others to steer clear. Service: Dine in Meal Type: Dinner Price per person: A$80–100 Food: 1 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 2
