    2 servings of cold chips returned for reheating. One of our Steak meals was ordered as medium to well done but was served as medium. Ordered a Corona beer but was told that there was none left. Ordered Eton Mess but was told that there was none left. Enquired about the cocktail special that was advertised on the bar but again was told that wasn't available either. The highlight was the oysters and barramundi but overall it was a very poor experience for myself and my 4 guests who all agreed that we won't be coming back.

    Surprised no plate was provided for the sea food shells. And no finger bowl. When extra plate was requested it was dropped onto the table.

    The mains were very good, though MASSIVELY overpriced. $39 for the barramundi, and it was a small piece of fish on some sort of puree with some leeks. The creme brullee flavour was good, though poorly executed. The sugar on top needs to be fully crystallized but it was grainy. I had 2 $10 pots of beer too, so I spent $72 for just my meal and 2 light beers, and I left hungry :-(
