The waiter, one of only two waiting staff, was very friendly, helpful and entertaining! Our meal was a long time arriving but we were happy to wait and people-watch. The waiter was very apologetic for the delay but the kitchen staff were also obviously rushed off their feet.

They were very gluten free aware and advised of suitable dishes (most on offer as it happened! Very reasonable price at $15 each. Most definitely recommend!

Squid was salty, pig was dry and old, tasted rancid. No sides offered, no garnish. The bread (white bred rolls) that were brought out before the mains were stale and hard as rock. The only consumable item of the whole dinner experience was the wine. Regret we dined here! Meals are not even fit for a dog. Absolutely terrible. When we complained, waiter blamed the chef (apparently the owner of the place), agreed with us on the poor quality of meals, but did nothing to remedy the situation. Charged full price. We should have just walked away....
