The atmosphere is very 80s Australian, with a buffet-style salad and dessert bar that comes with a main course order from the menu. For vegans, there are two main options: gnocchi and a salad. On Fridays, they offer eggplant parma, which we were disappointed to find out was not available on Saturdays. We all opted for the gnocchi with spinach, lemon, and chili, which was good but not outstanding. The portion size was generous, and none of us were able to finish our meals after also indulging in items from the salad bar. The only dessert option offered is fruit. The staff was accommodating in checking which prepared salads were vegan-friendly, such as the Roast Veg Salad. The restaurant is spacious and well-equipped with air conditioning, which is much appreciated in the heat. A special mention goes to the staff's effort in creating a "fruit cake" for my birthday, made with fruit plates, grilled pineapple, and coconut, complete with candles.

For vegans, there are two main options: gnocchi and stir fry. On Fridays, they offer eggplant parma, but unfortunately, they would not allow us to have it on a Saturday. We all ordered the gnocchi with spinach, lemon, and chilli, which was decent but not outstanding. The portions were large, and none of us finished our meals as we had already eaten from the salad bar. Dessert options were limited to fruit. The staff were accommodating and willing to check if certain salads were vegan-friendly. The restaurant is spacious with much-needed air conditioning in the heat. A special mention goes to the staff who made a "fruit cake" for my birthday, consisting of fruit slices, grilled pineapple, and coconut with candles. Overall, a pleasant dining experience.
