June 2 2023. Walked past and decide to join club, only $5 social membership. Booked a table on verandah and it was the Friday night meat raffle draw. 44 trays $1 for a block of numbers. (Didn’t win any!) Dinner was delicious and the sunset view beautiful. I had grilled barra described with seasonal veg but only had broccolini, roasted potato gratin more like a little dry potato and sweet potato bake with hollandaise sauce, would of liked a little more of the sauce. Meal wasn’t exactly the same as the description nonetheless it was delicious. Hubbie had the chicken parmie. What looked like an entire chicken breast topped with cooked ham and melted mozzarella, Napoli sauce and he had coleslaw and chips or you could have mash and veg. He couldn’t finish the meal it was so big. We also had the garlic bread topped with cheese and bacon 4 large pieces which was hot and delicious. Cost not being a member was $71 with member discount came to $61. Meal was filling, delicious and we thought good value. Will be going back to try something else on the good choice menu and they also have a specials board. If going on a Friday night make sure you book especially because it’s...

We ordered our coffees & cakes, the young blonde girl behind the coffee counter was snarly to my father (I wasn't immediately aware of this), then snarly to our entire table when we asked where our coffees were - after patiently waiting more than 20 minutes.

I am new to the island and was told the Bowls Club was a nice place to visit. Upon arriving, I couldn't sign in outside, so went inside to sign in with my mask in hand and the woman at reception yelled "put your mask on!" I was a bit gobsmacked at her attitude. I said that I had every intention of putting it on once I checked in. She said you have to walk in wearing your mask. I apologised and said I didn't know as I was new here. I then went upstairs to wait for my friends and was just upset how I was spoken to. Told my friends not to come there. Ended up in tears. Gentleman behind counter was very nice, so was Duty Manager. My point is. She could have said to me, "excuse me, could you please put your mask on," not yell at me. I am sad and won't be going back. I know this may be a one off thing, and you may think I am petty, but when you have never been there before and she didn't know that, be nice to people, don't yell. I have worked in hospitality, managed a few places and never spoken to anyone like this.Always had...
