    We arrive and were seated straight away. We chose the $95 PP buffet 2 adults and 1 child for our sons 11th Birthday. I had made a mistake once service commenced with not sending our order to the kitchen, this reduced our overall time until a server noticed my mistake. He assist and added more time to our Buffet. The service, food and atmosphere were exceptional and highly recommend this restaurant. Will be attending again in the future.

    We came to celebrate my partners birthday for the second year in a row and we had such a great experience. We enjoyed ourselves even more than last year and I’m not sure how that was possible. The food was absolutely amazing and the service was impeccable! Our waitress was so kind and made great recommendations and was super knowledgeable. Despite there being birthday’s on almost every table around us the staff still made an effort to celebrate my partner as well and sung happy birthday even with just the two of us. We came away will full bellies and hearts. Thank you so much for making my partners birthday so special!!!
