Absolutely delicious and super fast service from the chef and the bar staff. I hope you pay them well!

Prices are well up and the standard has really dropped. I had steak, chips and salad which used to be $34-36, but is now $44. Pretty much no love had gone into cooking the steak which wasn’t seared off and had been clearly dropped straight onto the top of the chips with no resting time. Not seasoned, plus the salad was this nasty tasting commercial dressing on it. My partners salad bowl was a real mix with the same bad dressing on the salad and hummus straight from a catering pack.
