   Food and service was great. We had a confirmed booking for five to be seated outside. On arrival we were shown to a table which was inside, on asking the waitress to be seated outside she said that outside was fully booked even though we had a confirmed booking for an outside table. ( we had previously been to the Oaks Ranch for a meal and sat outside which was very nice ) There was no compromise as to where we could sit we were just told outside was fully booked. That result was most disappointing especially by the end of our meal the outside area still had spare tables. After raising this problem when paying our bill all we were told was sorry. We had family from Sydney with us and had talked up this restaurant. Most likely not to go back nor recommend this restaurant to other people. Thank you you for the opportunity to express my dissatisfaction Graham

   Great experience, played 9 holes of golf first with friends then sat in the air conditioned restaurant and cooled down with a refreshing cocktail and ate an amazing lunch. Great spot to show off to our Sydney friends.

   Arlos at the Oaks Ranch was an exceptional meal. This is our 2nd visit for a special occasion and we had a great time. The food was for 2 people and we shared 4 tapas, 1 main and a side of vegetables. Very balanced quantities of food, excellent quality and variety of tastes.

   Nice vibe. Menu goo, a bit slow, could have been better.

   Our lunch time dining experience at the Oaks ranch was excellent in every way. First of all, the food was amazing. We had the prawn and crab stuffed zucchini flowers and the baked scallops for starters and the flavours were very special. If there was a criticism, perhaps the scallops were a touch overcooked. For mains we had the market fish, the confit duck and the lamb shoulder and they all excelled. one of our diners said it was the best lamb he had ever eaten! The flavours they pack into every dish is wonderful As to the staff they were very friendly and attentive. It was alfresco dining on perfect day so all in all we had a perfect experience!

   We're getting married at The Oaks Ranch and brought our parents down to show them the venue, and of course had to have dinner at Arlo! It's always an awesome experience.
