Main meals, I had gnocchi, it was beautiful, it melted in your mouth, I've never had such Beautiful food. Others had lamb it was cooked perfect and a salad. We were all very happy with our meals, service was excellent. Will definitely be back.

The pastas all had nothing in them except garlic and oil. The Marinara at $38 was a big pile of pasta with no flavour and a few mussels. My daughter had bad stomach pains after her pasta. Thankfully the slow cooked pork that I had was nice. Very disappointed.

Menu is very limited, our main meal arrived before our wine did and we had to ask for our side order twice before it arrived, and when it did, we'd finished our meal. I think the problem with this venue is that they want high-turnover and perhaps rely on 'tourist traffic'. Plenty of others to choose from at the Crown Complex.

Our bill was almost $800 for 9 people and food that was uneatable, I don’t usually complain or ever write reviews but had too as we were all so disappointed and shocked that a restaurant could still be open at crown and serving this terrible food

We got a nice outside table so it was a nice Sunday lunch . As we were leaving we asked for the pints to be added to our card , it was like asking the lady behind the counter if she wanted me to pull her teeth out. No smile no response no nothing . Will only go back if I am desperate
