The food, the service, the ambience were all terrific. My one criticism was for the gin and tonic and vodka and tonic that we had to start. Neither of us could taste either alcohol and the tonic must have been from a gun as it had almost no fizz and tasted very flat. Disappointing in an otherwise terrific offering.

The staff are very friendly and attentive which was great! We went on Thursday - Steak night which was really good value with chips & side salad & tasty. Delicious banana fritters & icecream for dessert but $15 was on the pricey side for a pub meal. Overall an enjoyable place to eat , but good idea to book as it gets busy .
