I was looking for an hardy and honest meal that was value for money. A long time ago they used to have a buffet (all-you-can-eat) restaurant and drawn by that nostalgia I decided to return. The buffet is gone and so is the sense of a welcoming eatery. Requiring an order at the bar and then waiting in the dining room for the order seemed like an overly complicated process for a simple meal. I ordered the wagyu beef burger and the buzzer summoned me to the counter to retrieve my meal in a timely fashion. The kitchen/bar staff that brought the meal out were friendly and very helpful, assisting my dining mates with extra condiments with a smile. The burger was cooked well and the bacon added nice depth of flavour along with sauce and a bun that didn't overwhelm the protein. The chips were hot crispy fluffy straws of comfort that complimented the burger. The menu is limited but is done well. the restaurant area was a big empty room and there seems to be distracted by getting ready for a small poker night. The meal was good value for money when you consider the prices of other restaurants...

Knowing nothing of the situation beforehand and still trying to be a toss. We did nothing wrong, we are from out of town and plans didn't pan out as expected. Message to the bald man, don't expect the worst out of everyone, try be more happy with your own life before taking your insignificance out on other people. Regards On a positive note, the bartender was a really nice guy, he accepted my mates 2013 bank statement as...
Read moreThis club was recently taken over by the Australian Turf Club. The ATC has put a little bit of work into making the decor a little more modern and the facilities a little tidier. Its not a bad little club, as far as those kinds of things go. Its got a fairly well cared for bowling green, an open bar area, a poker machine area (that's not too big), a function room and a big dining/ bistro area. The bistro menu is pretty standard; you can get steak, chips, schnitzel, some Asian fusion dishes and a few veggie options. There are some good deals to be had on weeknights, especially of your into meat products. Wednesday is $10 schnitzel night and Thursday is $15 burger and beer night. Its definitely better quality than I would normally anticipation for such a cheap meal. The schnitzel...
