Decent british fish and chips. We both got large....should have got it between us as there was way too much food.

Approximate cost: $18

Sat down for a late lunch with family, 4 adults, 3 kids in total. The waitress was friendly, helpful and quick to get the kids orders, which really helps. The food was quick, hot and tasty and the live band gave the place a great atmosphere. Overall, a good pub lunch.

Approximate cost: $15

It is such a pity when you find somewhere you really like the food, but everything else lacks. We dined here for breakfast a couple of weeks back. We were seated by a very friendly lady....who took our order of 2 cups of tea then disappeared. After 20 minutes I asked another young waitress if she would take our food order and if our tea was ready?- she said she'd be there in a minute. 10 minutes later she came and took our order and promised tea! Having been sat for over 40 minutes, we asked if we'd be getting our tea, the girl scurried away and came back with two pots of tea. My partner and I ordered identical meals, but I asked for mushrooms instead of tomatoes. We then got our breakfasts, which were delicious...my partners meal had no mushroom or tomato...?? and mine was correct. I asked for some tomato sauce, then 5 minutes later asked again. We finally ate our food and gave up on any hope of the waitress coming back and went to pay the bill. The young girl asked if everything had been ok for us, I said no, it hadn't and that we had found it quite an unpleasant experience. She laughed. On speaking to friends of ours, they have said the same thing about this place. We had been there on a very quiet Sunday morning and there were 3 staff on. Its a shame, as the food was delicious. Good work chef, but your service team are really letting you down!

We dined at this restaurant just over a month ago. It was ok...I wouldnt rush back though. My pizza had a really strange perfumed taste and my partner had asked for a large pasta and was brought an entree size. Drinks were nice and the location is good, but there are better italian restaurants to be found!

This restaurant is a winner. We've been a few times and I can't fault it. We've had the buffet everytime. $25 a head and its lovely. They have a good selection of starters and mains and you can wash it down with a good selection of wines and beers. The waitress actually encourages you to get the buffet, and I dont really see why anyone wouldnt as the food is very fresh and the variety is good. We will be back. :)

Food is always piping hot. The line out the door on a saturday night is always horrendous, so order ahead. Nice burgers and they also have nice calamari and seafood sticks. They charge for chicken salt and the chips themselves are very hit and miss. Our biggest complaint (and most of our friends) is that they shut way too early every night. 6:30 isnt even late enough for some people to get home from work and think about dinner. Overall the staff are friendly, the food is reasonably good and fairly cheap too. :)

This restaurant is lovely to sit in and the food is always good as is the service. We've had a few great dine in meals, and I can highly recommend the garlic prawns. Takeaway however, is always less than perfect. I'm not sure what it is, but its just not nearly as good. They really need to improve the value for money on takeaway too, bring in a better variety of set meals for less money and you'll get lots more customers. Half and half meals (half dish, half rice or noodles or hot chips) make lots of money for restaurants in cities, so there is no reason it can't work up here. Overall the food is reasonable, the staff are very attentive, but value for money is not great. So, we'll be once in a whilers...not regulars at this one. :)
