Came here on the weekend with my partner for lunch. The overall atmosphere was great very relaxing and quiet and the dining area was very clean. We ordered a garlic bread, chicken Parma and a chicken souvlaki. All meals were served promptly. The garlic bread was very soft and delicious. The chicken Parma was a great size and plenty of topping. The souvlaki was also big and had lots of filling. Overall this was a great dining experience and all of the food we had was very nice. We will definetly come back.
Although the meals came out quickly, it was 5.30pm mind you! The food was cold and rather tasteless, my Parma was the worst I’ve ever had, cheap nasty schnitzel, had to hunt to find any ham and the chips were only partially cooked! Kids cheeseburgers were frozen beef patties the kids wouldn’t touch! Won’t ever be coming back!
Good Family Bistro Style Pub
This is a return visit to this establishment as we were touring in the area and thinking of giving them another try. This is another example of the family style casual bistro pub / hotel, that in this case has not been swallowed up by a big group that is only focus is the share holders.
As with this style of establishment you order your drinks at the bar and order you food at the counter near to the kitchen. The dining room is fairly big and we dined at the far end of the dining room to allow us to discuss the days coming events away from the joyful shouts from the childrens play area.
The dining room is clean with standard wooden chairs and wooden tables for this style of establishment, except for the plastic style chairs in the area closer to the childrens play area in the dining room. No surprises on this big menu. We started with the Antipasto platter the followed with the Mediterranean Chicken Supreme and the Baked Seafood Paella from the Chefs Signature Dishes on the menu.
The antipasto, was a good positive surprise, a good selection of ham, salami, smoked salmon, on the well presented wooden platter with the rosemary sprigs. The disapionments were the lack of the vegetable frittata, the bread was not chiabatta (good bread, but not as stated on the menu), the olives were not marinated and provolone was some type of Australian, not Italian, substitute cheese. On a whole a good start, especially with a glass of wine a good company.
The Baked Seafood Paella, was not a high light as the rice was over cooked and there was plenty of it. The seafood consisted of 3 good size prawns, 3 mussels, 3 pieces of calamari (bought in, frozen, with the pineapple cut) and a selection of fried Chorizzo sausage.
The Chicken Supreme again was not a highlight, as the Romesco Sauce (almonds, roasted capsicum, and olive oil) just too much, as it was covering the rim of the plate and covering the chicken. A spoon over the chicken and a little on the plate would have been sufficient. This was a disappointment as the chicken breast (Kiev cut) was cooked well; still moist just the filling needed a bit more seasoning.
The waiters and bar team were polite and at tentative, with the floor team busy setting up for the evenings events.
Great place to take the kids has huge playroom. Don’t expect a nice quiet night for 2. The food is what you would expect for a large reception centre. Burgers are great.
No suitable Vegetarian dishes on their seniors menu but if you ask he chef will supply a suitable dish.The Seniors meal is excellent value for money and the staff are attentive. But please rewrite the menu with at least one Vegetarian dish – – –
So very bad. The kids meal was totally over cooked, my son ate one chicken nugget and said it was like trying to chew through a brick. The Salmon was over cooked. I even asked specifically for the salmon to be cooked to medium to avoid it being overcooked, but it was as if they had left it in a George Foreman grill for 20 minutes. It was flat as a board, and super dry, sitting on this pathetic soupy mess of noodles and god knows what. Over priced, terrible food. I asked for a refund. Won’t ever go back. Worst food ever. Don’t waste your time. life is too short, and there is better food out there for the same price.
