I had lunch there yesterday with my mum and three sons. The whole place had been refurbished since last I'd been there. There is now a multi story carpark. Plenty of parking for everyone. Google Maps hasn't been updated with new entry point to carpark. It still sends you to enter via the old entry point, which is now exit only with a boom gate. Once you are inside the Master builders club the atmosphere is lovely. We headed over to Platform 61 for our meal. There was plenty of seating. We had arrived around 12.20pm. The menu had lots to choose from. One son had ordered a pasta dish, which he enjoyed. Another had the Platform 61 burger and chips, he enjoyed that but he couldn't quite finish as it was a lot of food. He was quite hungry before he started to eat. Another son ordered the Surf and Turf....for the price of $42.90 it wasn't much food. A piece of steak, a few prawns and scallops in a sauce with a small salad and chips. That was disappointing. He said the food was tasty but could of done with a few more items on the plate. I had the fisherman's basket and chips and salad and a side order of wedges. The food was lovely and more than enough, I couldn't finish it all. The staff were all lovely. Leaving the club and heading back to the carpark, I found the escalator that went down into the carpark from the ground level near entry/exit to club was quite steep. It was one of those elevators that travelled slow while no one was using it ,but sped up when someone stood on it to go down into the carpark. I was behind my son. He stepped on the escalator and then it sped up. I went to step on next and I did not feel comfortable putting a foot down as it was going too fast and the decline was too steep. I made several attempts to take a step but decided to use the steps next to it instead. I couldn't imagine trying to negotiate that escalator if you had a...

It was my partners birthday and we were both working PM shifts at the hospital so I phoned to check what time closing was and last drinks were was verbally told 0330.

My partner and I walked there at around 0015, a security guard was outside the front doors as we walked toward the entrance. Just before we got to the front door they entered inside and as we came up to the electric doors (not even 2 minutes behind the security) these electric doors were suddenly locked.

I looked inside and there was someone behind the bar and the security guard we had just seen who had very clearly seen us waking over (he looked in our direction for a good 30 seconds before walking inside), was standing there not 10 metres from the entrance, looked at us standing there and turned their back to us.

We tried to motion for them to open the doors and nothing so I naturally i phoned several times only now to be directed to a voicemail, put on hold, only to then be hung up on over and over again.

Don’t state you are open until 03:30 unless you actually are.

It had just become my partners birthday come midnight and all we wanted to do was have a glass of champagne after a long shift and after walking quite far to get there only to be very clearly (and rudely) ignored made me quite annoyed.

Even after phoning the venue to double check prior and being told It was definitely 03:30 closing time when I phoned at 23:15.

Unacceptable behaviour.

Either change your hours or sort your staff out, it’s false advertising and frankly frustrating when a simple night is completely ruined even after you have made the effort to plan and check.

Ignoring patrons at the entrance in such a clear and rude fashion is also quite disgusting. Not exactly the behaviour I would expect from the vibe you’re company...
