We had a dinner here on a Saturday night, wanted to explore a different restaurant and came across Sawmill which had overall pretty good ratings. My fault that I didn't paid attention to the comments with lower rating. Unfortunately we realised very quickly that we won’t be coming back. We have ordered some drinks to start with which came pretty quickly but...calling a cordial with lemonade and piece of lime (drink menu actually said mint but maybe they run out of it as there was none) a mocktail and charging $10 for it is a bit over the top. We've ordered mushroom truffle arancini as entree to share and prawn linguini and chicken parmigiana with some steamed veggies as mains. The arancini came very fast which made me worry before I even touched them. The rice was overcooked, there were no mushrooms at all, barely any truffle and in general tasteless. Thank god for the mayo on top, and I am not a mayo person! The mains followed similar theme...the prawn pasta was tasteless, as if they put a boiled pasta and just topped it with few prawns and tomatoes, I couldn't taste any sauce. The chicken parmigiana was probably the highlight of our dinner although had a bit unusual side of tomato spaghetti. Overall very disappointed with overpriced tasteless food. I hope the chef will take this feedback and the similar ones that has been already provided and change few things to make the food...

Tonight was my second time back here. Last time was a cold raining winter night 2 months ago.

Their pizzas were the reason we came back tonight. Fresh dough SOOOOOO yummy that I could still taste the subtle saltiness. See the charc on the plate (and my fingers too) can tell their REAL pizza oven is real deal.

And of course the price....still good value IMO. One pizza was barbeque chicken (they normally have capsicum, just not this one as per our request) and the other one was sausage & potato. Both delicious 😋😋😋. The sausage was good quality - Yum! The bbq chicken tasted dry though. In fact I had the same bbq chicken pizza first time, so I can confirm it's consistent in quality. Hope their bbq chicken could be a bit more succulent and tender.

Service was prompt, professional and attentive. Also consistent.

Their menu already has good variety of options, and first visit also had Special Menu on the paper on the wall (not on wallpaper, they have a big paper roll hanging (by THE thing) on the wall. Want to know what's THE thing? Go and check it out! I still like to see some more pizza & pasta options on their menu.

I already contemplating my next return. Can't wait !!!

Update Sat 15 Oct, 2022 Returned tonight. Also had their fries, called Parmesan Fries ($8). Had it before in July actually. Of...
