This was one of my most disappointing dining experiences in a very long time. The service was friendly and very quick, the atmosphere was chatty and family friendly without being overly loud. Unfortunately, that's where the pleasure stopped...4 dishes were ordered between us and not one was enjoyed. Grilled Barramundi - frozen, odd texture, exceptionally salty from the seasoning they used, served with over cooked peas, frozen beans and FROZEN carrots, tolerable potatoes and a couple of pieces of zucchini. This was $28.90. Dish 2: Beef n Reef - medium rare - 3/4 of the beef was overcooked, same veg as previous dish, frozen prawns many not shelled/prepared for serving properly, mussells questionable re fresh or frozen - cost was around $29. Third dish was a traditional Italian chicken dish with the same vegies as the previous dishes. The chicken was very dry - the sauce though was ok. Lastly was the kid's pasta - reasonable, but received spaghetti instead of fettucini - not overly bothered by that, but there was visible cooked yellow egg yolk pieces and chunks of spaghetti stuck together. When I tried to use my entertainment book voucher at the end I was told no vouchers on mother's day. There was not a mention of it over the phone when we booked, no signs saying so around the restaurant, not a mention by anyone. I acknowledge that I didn't ask either however other businesses usually indicate in the fine print if there are restrictions to voucher use. I have read the other review on here saying the food was alot better than ours but unfortunately I would not risk spending $25-$29 a plate again on such low quality food - no matter how good a review I read in the future. It's a shame too -because the ladies who served us were really lovely!

Approximate cost: $28.00
