After 20 minutes.. the waitress came back to our table to tell me that they don't have garlic prawns! I think it's too early to sold out of the dinner menu and she should have told me that when I ordered it. So I swapped it to crumbed calamari instead.The crumbed calamari wasn't cooked properly. It tastes weird and not fresh. I ate the chips and salad instead as I was so hungry after staying in the hospital all day. My partner's chicken parmigiana wasn't great either. Not sure we will go back again after the experience with their service and foods.

But it's not to be unfortunately :(.The servings are huge, but the prices reflect them as well (in Queanbeyan it was huge portions and normal prices). And something's missing.... the taste has been magically taken out of all the food somehow. When you order bacon and eggs, the bacon should be crispy, salty, and juicy... I'm salivating just thinking about it. But what comes out is floppy, oily, dry. The eggs were watery and again, no flavour.I soooooo much wanted to rave about this place. I wanted it to be my new local.But it's not, and I can't recommend it. So much hope :(.
