Only open a week at the time of our visit but the dining area downstairs was packed to the point where we had to dine upstairs adjacent to the pokies area. The first surprise was the very light weight, brown plastic chairs provided at the upstairs tables. I never felt secure as the chair kept flexing. It won't be long before someone comes crashing to the floor.

The second surprise was the cost of drinks at the upstairs bar. A Bundy and Cola in a bottle was $9. A Vodka Cruiser was also $9. We were shocked at that price and asked the bar person to check. She did and assured us it was the correct price. More akin to the casino for prices than a suburban club.

We went downstairs to order our meals and went back to our table upstairs. My meal, a 400 gramme rump arrived with the salad bowl covered in the mushroom sauce from the rump. The salad itself was crisp with a nice dressing but was far too heavy on the lettuce as opposed to the other parts of it. The rump was cooked as requested and was tender in those areas where it was not paper thin. Far too thin for my taste.

My partner had chicken parmagina which she described as well cooked but very bland and lacking in taste.

Overall not too bad but at those prices, the drinks in particualr you would expect more than what we received.

Approximate cost: $26
