    We dined here on Christmas Day and had a wonderful time. Our waitress was very courteous and happy and service was prompt despite being packed! Everyone had the same idea as us to come here and enjoy a wood fired dinner! We considered the holiday turkey special but instead had rotisserie chicken with campfire veggies and the guac and chips to start, along with lots of wine and beer. Beautiful restaurant with a roaring fire and the food was delicious. We will return!

    A great experience from our welcome at the front door, through our table experience to our thoroughly satisfied departure. The Christmas special menu was fantastic, and recommended beverages to go with the meal spot on. Waitstaff were very attentive. And watching the kitchen in action was mesmerising, with all staff working so well together on such a busy night. Happy staff certainly made for happy tummies for our party of four!
