    Claire Castle has a lovely ambience. The staff are helpful but subtle. Food was delicious. I had the special of Barramundi with ginger and soy and Jasmine rice. Flavours were good and the fish was cooked perfectly. My husband had the king prawns with garlic. They were a good size and flavour was good. Good sized portions. We really enjoyed our lunch.

    Disappointed to be told that two of the dishes we ordered were not available. On booking I asked for a quieter area so we could carry on conversations but were placed at a large round table which are difficult to converse with others seated on the other side of the table. Prices for both food and drink were good value. Our waitresses were polite and provided good table service.

    I eat there once a month and the service and food is always consistently great. I take friends there occasionally and it has always been a success, regardless of the meal. One other big thing is that they let each person pay for their own meal, without all the stress of people trying to pay for one bill. Greatly appreciated! A neighbourhood gem for me, white table cloths too.

    Was disappointed when I wanted veal but they said they run out. Only to then hear half an hour later the next table ordered it and was served. Very very poor customer service in relation to that,
