We attended as a family for our recent wedding anniversary dinner. I’m giving 4 stars for a few reasons. Service, menu options, pricing, experience & quality all have impacted my feedback but overall a nice venue, understaffed / lack of training in service, mostly pleasant though, tables need a really good clean with remnants of food in the tabletops, and given the price point they need more ambiance, service & quality control

We had a 5.30pm booking midweek, we were told to come back when we arrived on the dot of 530pm as they weren’t open. Note bookings are scheduled & timed so you only have a window of time booked. We came back at 5.45pm and there was 2 other tables sat & served.

Very disappointed that they do not have a children’s menu at this venue or suitably priced option for small steak/ sausage & chips that isn’t $40. Given the location it surprised me not to be family friendly. Lucky we had checked the menu & fed our son earlier & purchased a bowl of chips for him which was $11

The bread was delicious that was first served & they were kind enough to accomodate my sons request for another piece after he ate his & ours. Yes only 1 piece of bread per person. Seemed a little stingy given the overall cost we knew would exceed $200 and seems an odd place to cut back on giving something to customers.

We both purchased 400g Angus scotch specials at $73 each. We both ordered a sauce which was an extra $11. Note that everything is an extra so be prepared to pay.

Next time if we are to return we would order 1 sauce (baste) as a chip dipping sauce as the pepper was overpowering and you didn’t need it with the steak, the baste was enough and very pleasant. It complimented the meat which was thankfully cooked as requested - medium rare.

The only issue was my side salad came out wilted & tomatoes looked like they were 3 days past due. It was very off putting, not fresh & covered in dressing so I asked for it to be returned and opted for chips. Being a Wednesday I would have thought they would have fresh salad but this looked leftover from the weekend. Chips were cooked well.

Wine is not extensive and we opted for a glass of Shiraz Izway Rob & Les $12.50 each. Very young, needed much longer celaring but being a Barossa it was one of the best choices. I didn’t finish mine as it was just too young and took away from the steak.

Crème brûlée had a good shell but was too soft & custardy as it didn’t hold the spoon, it just melted off. Acceptable for mainstream restaurant, pleasant to eat and we enjoyed as a dessert. $15 for the serve with a small icecream on the side but the berry coullis was under the Ramekins which made no sense as you couldn’t eat it or mix with the icecream

We also purchased a single scoop of icecream for our son which took forever to come out. We had eaten our desert and it was cleared before they even bought out his ice cream. We had to ask twice for it at which the server seemed annoyed that we asked and made the end of the night awkward. At $3 the price point was fine and he was happy.

Overall the meat was very nice. Happy to pay good money for a good quality & well cooked steak, I do feel it’s expensive when you get a foodchain feel but we took it as an evening out for a special occasion and everything was very good overall. We spent around $230 for dinner, drinks & dessert.
