My wife and I had lunch at The Haus Restaurant today (17 May 2024). We had been to the restaurant many times in the past, but it was some years since we'd last been there last.

My wife had the Mushroom & Sun Dried Tomato Pesto Fettuccine ($29.90) with added Chicken Tenders ($7.90). Her meal was delightfully presented in a decor-matching pottery bowl; and she described it as delicious - so delicious in fact that there were no "left overs" to come my way!

I had the 350g Haus Chicken Schnitzel ($26.90) with added Creamy Garlic Prawns ($11.90) - and I was overwhelmingly underwhelmed! The Schnitzel was dry and tasteless, and was too heavily crumbed. Worse, it was over-cooked to a decor-matching dark brown, and was difficult to cut even with the specially provided knife.

Haus fries came with the Schnitzel - actually, most were hidden under the Schnitzel - but they were cold. And frankly, they looked like the left-overs from an earlier batch fry up; they were nothing like the fries shown in the photograph on The Haus webpage. There were some whole fries present, but more than half were over-fried, small chips from what might have started life as fries. The "leafy salad" served with the meal was tasty, but minute: far too small to make a difference to the meal.

In short, our visit to The Haus was disappointing. I rated the meal generously at three stars, but this was driven entirely by the excellent Fettuccine. It was certainly not worth $75.61.
