The staff at Platinum are for me the only redeeming factor for the whole restaurant- even then nothing to write home about. They were pleasant enough and reasonably attentive. The food on the other hand left much to be desired. The kids meal we ordered - chicken and chips - the chicken came out burnt(!) and dry, the chicken caeser salad was the most stingy serving of salad I think I have ever received. The chicken in the salad was also overcooked and dry. The palma was mediocre though the turkish bread was very very good. I agree with a previous review that the menu was strangely confusing to read and follow.
Overall I would definitely recommend people try somewhere different if they are looking for value for money and a tasty meal. Will not be going back again.

Approximate cost: $20-30

Out for dinner with some girlfriends. Food was great, we ordered prawn something, seafood pasta, chicken palma and lamb rump, all presented beautifully although delivered at slightly different times-not a huge deal. I had the lamb and it was lovely, cooked exactly how I ordered (well done) I enjoyed every mouthful and my friends were complementary about their mains too. We all had dessert- the sticky date puddings were huge. I had the lemon tart and it was one of the worst I have tried (should have had the sticky date pud), which was a pity as made a nearly perfect dinner not so perfect. Towards the end of our dinner the air-conditioning appeared to be turned up perhaps a ploy to get patrons to hurry up and leave a real shame as was a nice atmosphere to stay for a lingering chat. Our waitress although seemingly a little inexperienced was very attentive and friendly. There is room for improvement (the food is pretty good) it was still an enjoyable night out for us girls!

Approximate cost: $25+

We have recently moved to a suburb nearby and were looking for a nice restaurant to try out. Our booking was for 7.00 on a Friday night so there were not many diners in the place yet. this created the only negative of the evening in that within 5 minutes of being seated we were approached by 4 different staff wanting to take a drink order, we hadnt even opened the menu yet!
the food was of a very good standard with a menu selection that would have something for everyone with its breadth of variety.
We would certainly go back again!

Approximate cost: $35

From the lipstick on my glass to the wait on the meals, we did not have a good experience! We waited well over 20 minutes to be asked if we would like a drink. We then waited even longer for our meal order to be taken - I ended up having to get up and find a waiter to take our order. I was then told what I had chosen off the very small menu was not available. I then ordered a steak medium-well and my friend ordered a salad. Our meals took just over an hour and when they finally came out, my steak was near rare. By this time it was 9pm ( we arrived at 7pm) and we decided to leave and get take away on the way home as I was not prepared to wait any longer. Judging by neighbouring tables yelling out comments, this experience was common.

Approximate cost: $30

Have only dined there once so far as it is still fairly fresh. The food was great but there is room for improvement on the service. I would try it again based on the food alone but if the service wasn't up to scratch next time, then there are other places that have good food and the service to match and I would opt for those ones.

Approximate cost: $32
