No lasting impression but nothing bad to say either. Convenient position.

Large chunks of fish, squid and prawns in a tomato napoli sauce. It was just a little sweeter than I am used too but it was splendid. Top that off with a delightful waitress and it was a top meal. This meal is highly recommended.

Nice salad extra with spring rolls. Decadent desserts. Only wish they had to pack a fork in my bag.

My friend ordered a cappuccino in a cup, but received a skinny flat white in a cup. When we raised the issue with the waitress, she simply asked if we were happy with the mix-up or if we wanted her to change them. The coffee tasted good, but could have been hotter. Overall, the food was lackluster and the waitress seemed bored with her job. She could use some improvement in customer service skills. It's a shame because the location and set-up of the restaurant are pleasant. Unfortunately, this experience is what I have come to expect in eateries in Mackay. I would give this restaurant a rating of 2-1/2 out of 5.
