The meal was well-prepared, but unfortunately, the steak was overcooked. The drink selection was good, and the restaurant wasn't busy. The staff was friendly.

The pricing for steaks from the meat selection was unclear, and we were not informed of the expensive prices or weights as we made our selection. We were shocked when we received the bill. The noisy air conditioning made it difficult to have a conversation until it was finally turned off. The plain table chairs were adorned with cheap, printed table sets. Overall, it was a very expensive and terrible experience. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone and suggest finding a better dining option in Emerald where you can get a nice meal for half the price.

The staff was very friendly and the restaurant was excellent. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food, especially the chicken beech special. We appreciated how well they took care of our dogs. Thank you!

The restaurant looked lovely upon entry, staff were friendly and attentive and the menu was exciting to view, not just simple restaurant attached to accomodation type fare. This was impressive and did...not disappoint in reality when placed in front of us. My Lamb Cutlet dish with white truffle oil potatoes (the heavens opened and I heard angels singing) with Pomegranate/Mint sauce was decadent and had my eyes rolling in sheer delight. Flavour central! Hubby was well pleased with his meal of Rissoles with Vegetables (this simplicity of the sound of this selection did not match the depth taste and flavour) and our sons similiarly were impressed with their choices. Lovely wine selection, finished night with a cocktail and a short stroll to room. Wonderful night, highly recommended.

The staff were really helpful and friendly. Now...... the restaurant....... unbelievable food and service. Don’t know where they...found the chef but he is a godsend! No doubt the best meals I have ever had while travelling. Many thanks to Faith for her great service. The lamington ice cream is a must!
