Dined in the Cottage Restaurant on the evening of 18 Feb 2012. The Restaurant was busy, but not full. The dining room was uninspiring, and we were under an airconditioning duct, which made us cold. There was a small group, and we had what I would describe as one of the worst pub meals I've ever had. Each course, and drinks, required us to prompt the waiting staff (who were friendly and helpful, but not attentive - perhaps they were understaffed). It was obvious that orders were getting lost in the kitchen at some point. There was a gap of 25 minutes between the service of the first of our entrees, and the last. Main meals were similarly affected. Some of the entrees seemed fine. I had eggplant chips in a chick pea batter - it was oily, and completely lacking in flavour. Not worth waiting that length of time for, and certainly not worth $16. My partner had a seafood cocktail which was poorly presented, and looked far from fresh. For main I had chicken parmagiana (for want of anything else - the menu was very uninspiring), and it was overcooked, oily, and had far too much cheese on it. The chips were fresh, but the salad was coated in a sweet mayonnaise that was horrible. Certainly not up to the $26 price tag. My partner had fish and chips. The fish was oily and lacked flavour. The chips were fine. I can't comment on the other meals. We didn't have the Cottage Restaurant's deserts, because it was a birthday party we had bought a cake (they didn't charge anything for that). Coffee was fair, but, again, took a long time to come. I won't be back again.

Approximate cost: $28
