The worst lamb shank ever. The smell was awful as the waitress put the plate down. The meat on the bone tasted like straight out of a can. 24hr slow c…

Fantastic food and good service
Went there tonight as a group of 15, meals we got were around $30 each with vegetables as extra for $7-50. Every meal was bland and the side veges were bland. Myself I ordered lamb rack and have to say it was pretty below average. Would not recommend for a meal at all and the fact the meals are expensive just adds to it.
Went to the Grand Cafe last night for fine dining. It was anything but fine dining! I got the lamb kofta and it wasn’t good at all the meat was very dry and no dressing for the salad also there was egg and anchovies in the salad which was not stated in the menu. My partner got pork belly and for $32 you would expect a decent amount it was very small and nothing special. Could have done a better job at home. My friend got fish in chips the chips were undercooked. As a matter of fact all of our hot chips were undercooked and not salted. I will not be back and I do not recommend this place at all. Waste of money. The service was lovely though 😉
We went to the Grand Café for New Years Day lunch. The restaurant was fully booked but we had a booking so were seated fairly quickly and menu’s and water provided. Drink orders were taken with the meal order. Both husbands had the set menu on offer of breads, roast and dessert. Commented that the roast was unusual in that there was salad on the plate swimming in the gravy???? The wives ordered from the main menu and all I can say is that my meal was delicious. I had the seafood cocktail (prawns, crab, crayfish etc), the lamb cutlets and a platter of desserts. The entire meal was absolutely delicious. Only problem was that there were no further offers of drinks or of coffee after the meal and as the restaurant was half empty by that time there were plenty of staff available???.
Had the lamb roast. It had been roasted, and roasted, and roasted. Dry as a the Sahara Desert. Outside was almost burnt and the inside a dark grey. Covering it with a really dark sauce doesn’t hide the fact that it was over cooked. But at least it still had taste. Mains took a while to arrive and most were starting to cool (Heat the plates people).Meals are reasonable sizes and very good price. Staff seemed atentive yet not interested.
Was dining in today with my husband with their lunch deal 3 course meal $19 and food was terrible. From the entree of baked bread which totally old.Bread that was served and chewy seems like its been days old bread now comes the msin which is the Asian chicken noddke and my husband got the kaikoura salmon which is alright but the noodle it taste yuck or tasteless its llike boiled water with noodle on top and some slices of chicken and vegetables. It was really dissapointing and the dessert not good at all. It’s not worth $19 meal and it;s totally not worth the wait. It just ended up a very dissapounting date with my husband. kfc is way worth more than the food they are serving and imagine the price massively expensive with no taste at all
We used to dine at the restaurant at least once a week before it changed after renovation and from buffet to a la carte. I have been once since it changed and never again. The food was not cooked properly (microwaved potatoes and then browned)and unappetizing. I liked the buffet so when they change the chef and go back to buffet I will go back. Expensive too. I have heard many others say the same thing ie they do not like the food and will not go back until it changes back to the original buffet.
