Not a lot of love went into making our meals. This used to be a nice place to go but now it lacks atmosphere and lacks good food.

Seated and after a while got our drinks. Entrees out in a reasonable time but then other than dropping our mains off, service stopped!.. our mains were delivered with all of our dirty entree dishes left on the table. The mushroom sauce was awful tasting burnt! In 2 hours we had one drink service and had to remove our own entree plates and dump them on the bar!..Danni (who was not our original server) ended up bearing the brunt of of our complaint admirably. She went above and beyond to ensure the rest of our experience was ok... the rest of the staff could learn a bit about the hospitality industry.

WORST ever night at what used to be my favourite restaurant
It was for my friends 50th
Service was non existant, 1 drink in 2 hours, appetizer dishes still on the table, the mushroom sauce was foul, used to be lovely
Dirty dishes were piled on the bench
Danni was amazing, she listened to our complaints with patience and apologies.
She was the best part of the night

I was going to book for my 60th next year, definitely won't be now

We dined out here this evening and won’t be returning in a hurry.
Wasn’t once asked if we would like a drink, and we’re expected to go to the bar and get our own.
Meals came out and 3 steaks that were ordered medium rare came out well done, dry and tough. When told the waitress said she would take something off the bill and yet nothing was taken off our bill despite half the steak being sent back to the kitchen.
Pork Belly was dry and barely edible.
When paying that much for meals you expect better. Could cook better at home.
Service and food 0 stars
