Friendly greeting on arrival, the main dining room was a bit too cool with the air con so relocated to Parklet which was great spot catching the late afternoon sun. Prompt & attentive service to take our drinks order. Our meal (shared mixed grill) was beautiful, the different meats tender & expertly prepared with chips, dips & bread & salad items finishing off the platter. The meal is very generous in size. With a nice wine each the meal was less than $70. Great value for 2 people for a quality meal. The staff are all very friendly providing an enjoyable experience all round.
