    We always eat at lunch and usually choose from the lunch menu is just perfect. Of course the full menu is available which is absolutely perfect. The barramundi is fabulous as are all the burgers and sandwiches. The club is my personal favourite. Great balcony area for small groups or couples. Beer garden recommend for families with kids.

    Always good food here. We had a table of 7 and everyone was happy with their meals. Only negative is cocktails took a very long time to come out.

    we had a table on the balcony which was lovely but it must have been above a smoking area which was a bit gross at times. Lovely otherwise :)
