First off let me clarify, I'm not from Albury, so possibly this is normal for here.
Had to wait well over an hour for our meal to come out. In their defence it was busy and they were possibly short staffed. Although looking around it seems like they can only have one person taking meal orders and the kitchen looked fairly packed, I'm not sure you would want more chefs in there. Maybe they just need a bigger kitchen, although from what I understand they have just recently had a renovation.
Service was ok, no one was rude as such, but no one was smiling or happy to be there. But again this simply could be that they were understaffed.
Food....hmm, I'd say average. My dish was ok, but definitely wasn't flavoursome or had me wanting to order it again. Wife had pizza and she said it was up there as one of the worst pizzas she has had. But as the saying goes, even bad pizza is still ok lol.
On the positive side they did have plenty if gluten free options and they were able to cater for low fodmap, so that was appreciated.
They also had Carlton draught tanks, which are always cause its fresh.
Would we go back here again? No.
Would we go here if we were local? Yeah maybe, I guess if you know in advance what what to expect and if the choices in the area limited then you just make do.
For the tourist that are reading this that are in the area for less than a week. My advice is give this place a miss as there are other venues that you can go to instead...

We came here on a Friday night for a table of 20. We booked about 3 weeks in advance and called a week early to confirm and ensure everything was OK. We arrived and tried to find our table and weren't able to. Asked staff to help, and they were also unable to. They had forgotten our table and had 20 people waiting. Props on their part, they were helpful, and found is a table, but it had water dripping on half of it. We asked to move, and they moved a later reservation to that table, and we got a different one. The garlic bread was delicious and very cheesy. The aracini balls were OK but very crunchy on the outside, but the sauce with it made it delicious. My little brother thoroughly enjoyed his nuggets and chips. We also had a margarita pizza, which was basic, but still yummy. I had the carbonara, which was very creamy and full of chicken, which I enjoyed, but the pasta itself was a bit chewy and clearly overcooked. However, a family member of mine has the exact same dish, but it tasted very different. It was presented very blandly and hardly had any chicken in it. I tried some of hers compared to mine, and the difference was significant. It is not always a good thing to not have consistency with every dish. It was a nice family dinner that was a bit soured by the start, but all the kids enjoyed the lovely playground they had. Wouldn't go again, but it was a nice...

Ordered food early on during the lunch service on mother's day, to be rudely asked what we wanted without any pleasant greeting by a middle aged blonde hair woman taking orders.
I had nicely asked if the pork belly comes with proper crackling as some other venues I have been to have not bothered to make it crispy to which the woman bluntly told me well yeah it does come with crackle and tried to "educate" me on the cut of meat like I was an idiot and very much had the attitude of well derr it comes with crackle.
I saw a sign at the counter saying mums get a free glass of bubbly so I asked her how that works and just got a very blunt response of I'm only taking food orders not drink orders, go to the bar if you want drinks.
I'm sorry but this woman is not very polite or being caring or informative and should not be in a customer facing environment.
And FYI the crackle was only partially done. Alot of it was...
