Had an impromptu dinner here, it was great. The food was lovely and we got to sit in front of our own fire place. Prices were good and service was excellent. Staff were also amazing. Brilliant atmosphere, will be back. View all feedback.
What User dislikes about Pause:
Food quality seems to be average . Imported crab etc... I would be happier with less seafood and better quality in dishes . I think with the beautiful local fresh produce things could taste a lot better . I'm not sure on the chef it just didn't have that much flavour or pizazz as I would have hoped. I hope that the food can improve lovely location and good service. View all feedback.
I have visited this restaurant three times now and it never fails to impress. Looking forward to returning soon.
Another amazing tasting menu experience. Chef Reno truly shines. The slow-cooked pork was incredibly tender. It's important to support our local eateries during these challenging times. The tables were spaced out well for added safety. Thank you to the team for a wonderful evening.
This is the best restaurant in the area. Please don't close down, and if COVID-19 is affecting your business, let us know and we will support you.
Placed an takeaway order on their website. Says they close at 8 pm and my order would be ready by 7:05 pm. Got there at 7:03 pm and they were closed. Service: Take out Price per person: A$20–40
We can't comment on the food, as we didn't stay. We booked for father's day, but were not informed at the time of booking online that there would only be a fixed price 3 course set menu available. We enquired if we could order individual dishes, but this was not a possibility. None of us wanted more than one course, so we left. This could have been avoided if we were informed of the fixed price menu when we made the booking. A disappointing experience. I'd suggest contacting the restaurant before you go to find out exactly what is available in terms of a la carte/ fixed price menus, as this info doesn't seem to appear anywhere on their website.
