There were 7 of us booked for dinner on Saturday. They'd had a table for 6 made up and had to change it.
Bar upstairs incredibly noisy and not suited to conversation.
Seated for dinner on time - our 2 final guests arrived. We'd already checked out the menu online and I am vegetarian, so I knew they had little on offer.
We're a loud family that sh*t-stirs a lot and laughs a lot, and the wait-staff seemed to struggle to engage or enjoy our friendliness. The overall comments on the food were mixed: the lamb shanks were good but too much on the plate; the kangaroo was ok; the barramundi was disappointing and over-cooked, the chicken parma was ok, and my vegetarian option was very plain - pasta with vegetables (fusilli). I also greek salad.
The wait staff were willing to accommodate our selection - as we wanted the salad for the barramundi served separately, and we wanted a serve of 'wok-tossed" veg brought out.
What was disappointing was how long it took for the mains to come out.
I personally disliked the Greek salad - chunks of cheese, too much onion, way too many cherry tomatoes... and no real flavour.
I didn't like the meal, for value it was poor and bland. Very poor option for vegetarian.
For what we paid - over $300 - I would have expected a lot more.
Personally I would I only return for a similar reason - that being because someone was holding a birthday or special occasion dinner there. I won't book it for myself.

Approximate cost: $25
