We ordered the seafood platter and we were not dissatisfied. Prawns bugs and oysters were fresh. Decent amount of food. It was pretty busy but platter came out super quick. Little bit hot inside as no air con but all up not to bad. Staff were friendly as well.

Afraid the pictures don’t tell the story. Holiday camp with fellow diners barefoot picking feet next to your table! Go up to place your order and pay upfront for a fairly poor food offering. All food comes at once. Chicken shocking. On checking if fresh ‘no’ flashed off in the morning and finished to order! At 7pm. Save your money and go elsewhere.

If you are happy with a brasserie local pub meal then this will be fine. We had visited 5 years ago and had a very different experience of fine dining and quality service.

Disappointed with meals and service. We were a table of 9 xmas dinner. Caesar salad was bland lacked dressing and croutons were stale. $98 rib steak came out more well done than medium and smaller than what expected for a $98 steak also no decent steak knife either. Salmon was over cooked. Lacked service.. They wanted to put us on lawn area, with mosquitos and away from restaurant. We requested a change which we got. Staff we felt were rushing us to get out mind you there was only about 40 people there in total. Probably won't go back again. Have been their couple of times. Time for a change. Just disappointing.. Not sure if they served desserts as we weren't even offered this.
