    Nice ambiance but don’t expect an entree before a meal, as our cold king prawns came with the hot main meal!

    Recommend ordering early to save the wait time. New menu was good. Plenty of variety on offer and all our dishes were good.

    Pretty good but the three meals came out separately hence the first person's meal was finished before the last person started to eat. I quess it's an indication of being busy and popular.

    Paid $110 for a meat platter that said it feeds 2-3 people that 2 of us ate & $32 for a Chicken Parmi. $142 to feed 3 people. We were seated next to the bar that only had 2 staff on so the line up for drinks was constantly long directly beside us so we had to endure random conversations of strangers while i tried to eat with my family in peace. Which actually astonishes me given it cost $30 for 2 schooners of Hard Solo & 1 can of Coke N/S. Went back for a further 2 schooners of Ginger beer for $25. $197 to feed a family of 3 & 2 drinks.

    The staff were extremely accommodating with our additional number of guests, and took the effort to grab extra chairs and tables when most of the venue was booked out.

    The food and service was excellent. Our table enjoyed a very relaxed dining experience. We particularly noticed the addition of plants between the tables to give both privacy and ease of hearing when we were dining. We would heartily recommend the “Boon” to our friends!!
