Had the steak sandwich, it was delicious, and the Turkish fried bread was great. The buffalo wings that we ordered were not very spicy, and the aioli had way too much garlic

Great food, kids cheese burger was cooked wonderfully, and adults meals where wonderful.
Confusing to have prices on each alcohol bottle to show their prices which is an awesome and clear idea to be paired up with a 'Free Garlic bread' sign on the counter, which is only free if the staff don't ask you if you want garlic bread. I found that a bit patronizing and shouldn't be there.
Time I was here there are three staff working the dining area. 1 lady was bright and bubbly made us feel welcome, 1 lady who was going through the motions (too busy to smile) and one who didn't talk to us at all.
Overall a positive dinning experience and enjoyed our time there.

I turned my ankle in a bloody mine Shaft of a pot hole in an unlit area of the entrance. Two weeks later I still have pain. I just followed the sign in and dud not expect to be seriously injured going to a pub.pretty disappointed that I have called them to tell them about this issue, I had no call back. This place only cares about what's in your wallet, genuinely bad, I wonder if they could cram more poker machines in. And to the owners, my ankle is still knackered. I'm coming after you.

Customer service was terrible, food was extremely poor, waitress couldn’t even remove plates from table so we could eat our meals wouldn’t recommend or even return.

Had a New years Eve dinner for two in the Bistro and we weren't disappointed. The staff were not only efficient but also very friendly. The meals were well worth the money we paid and I was pleasantly surprised by their size. Overall the eating area is not overly large if you like to have a bustling atmosphere around you but the quality of the staff and meals, this cannot be denied.

They charge you extra money the food was bit poor
The meat and vegetables was very dry it was like chewing leather
The chicken wasn't cooked properly
The service was very poor didn't clear up the table when food came out. Definitely wouldn't come back or even recommend getting food here.

It's a good local bar to visit. But it's big pricey with its food. Be honest.

The most of staffs are friendly and nice only one or two of them are bit rude and moody.
We understand sometimes the hospitality industry is a tough environment to work, but it's also very important that the staffs are wise and maintain the customer service.

Let's hope next time we can get a even better experience while visiting.

Overall, it's still worth to visit sometimes.

My family and I went there for lunch today. The meals were great! The kids meals were generous, and perfectly cooked. I would definitely come back.

Seems to be a place more suited for seniors. The wings and the calamari were good and I especially liked the sauces served with both.

The place looks a bit tired but the food was great. The steak sandwich was delicious and a chocolate mousse was divine. I would definitely recommend it. The staff were friendly.

Attended Sunday night last for dinner. The older blonde waitress asked if we had a booking which we did not. The place was hardly packed but she made us feel like it was going to be. Then because she clearly has trouble with her hearing she mucked up our order which we had to rectify. She was rude and abrupt. Some customer service training needed here. My vegetarian curry was dry and lacking flavour. The other meals on the table were ok. Will not be rushing back. Not expecting much of a response from the owner judging by what I have read on here

Was getting away from the northern river flood's with my son, came down to my bestie's place and they took us here. Great place calming atmosphere, great service with great food. I had the surf and turf steak and it was amazing. Highly recommend a visit if your in town.

There was a $3 surcharge to use debit card on a Tuesday. Tables hadn't been cleaned very sticky. Steak sandwich was full of fat and gristle

The steak was not med rare, which spoilt my enjoyment. Lets face it it was pensioner $.
WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO BRING lambs fry and bacon back on the menu? The excuses for it not being on the menu are really lame.
Also it was a very popular dish and an easy prep and cook.
