We went to Off the Track on the 11th August for lunch and again on 29th August for dinner. Both times we were very happy with our meals, pan fried fish with a side of potatoes. We both had the same meal on both visits.

We were a group of 23 that arrived for lunch. We ordered the market fish. The fish was snapper and was served quite cold. The fish was very dry and extremely small. Only mashed potato served with it. Three other guests who also ate the Market Fish agreed with this review

Considering the prices, I was disappointed with the small portion sizes. Although I personally enjoyed the flavours, I cannot say the same for the majority of our table. I appreciate the hard work that must have gone into the new menu, but some of the flavours just did not work. The wait staff were friendly, however the service was slow and we were forgotten about. I'm sorry to say we will not be back.

Thoroughly enjoyed my dining experience at Off The Track. The restaurant is beautiful with a fanciness to it. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. The food came out quickly and was well presented. I had the 'surf & turf' which was one of the best dinners I have ever had eating out. The steak was cooked to perfection and the combination with the seafood was truly the best of both worlds for me. Also try the cheese board at the end, it is scrummy. Highly recommend. Will definitely be back.

I don't usually leave review but.... This was our first visit since Off The Track reopened and we were blown away by the team. The decor is amazing and the general feel of the restaurant is warm and friendly. The young man who served us was a credit. He knew the food and could answer questions easily, he was friendly and attentive without being all over us. Most importantly the food was amazing! Highly recommend visiting this restaurant.
