This is the worst review I hope to post, though I'd be guilty of supporting substandard effort. I wasn't compelled to give a star either 🥱 It is no longer a restaurant you want to visit for a special family quality dinner, standards have completely dropped 😒 I didn't need a reservation this time, so if that's a bonus, I'd still recommend your favorite takeaway dinner. Smell, Visual appeal, course combinations, texture and flavors are my buzz at a dinner outing. Of course, at a buffet restaurant you dress these yourself, so it's a semi chef/customer experience. Arrival: People waited too long for a seat at an almost empty restaurant.The front desk seemed more concerned with customers who'd left than those arriving. The manager behaved like security not concierge 😑 The dinner cost $67.50 pp (so I was excited, price had increased considerably since my last visit for a birthday) Visual: It's missing ambience, the tables were bare and food court looking, I studied each station to ponder my courses, immediately I wasn't pleased 🤢 certain foods appeared dry and mismatched by description 🤔 salads had none of the seasonal fruits and blends and looked out of a packet boring. Smell: there were smells of 'off' meat in the Bain Marie's (not sure which, so pictured). Bland actually has a Smell too, it's a nothingness 🤷♀️ Course combinations: Seafood, Soup station, Cheese, fruit and nut selections (Entrée) is really as far as I went personally. My husband and best friend had dishes remaining on their plates, so this otherwise confirmed my suspicions. I tasted them to 1. Not waste food and 2. Not behave like a snob. I shouldn't have because thereafter I was irritable and complaining. Thanks to an intimate relationship with Bourbon and coke from their bar, I left speechless and my husband wasn't embarrassed by me at the end of the night. I do give thanks for staff slapping a cupcake on a plate with chocolate sauce birthday wishes for my husband (at request). A message to the chef/s - An empty guest plate is the best compliment, Get out to more family picnics, small cafés and restaurants to experience flavors, thaw your frozens and turn down the temperature of your fridge for your daily goods, marinades and sauces do not disguise rotting products and finally, less is more when done with confidence and love. No, I'm not a chef, I'm a marae cook and there's never food left on my plates. Let me know when you feel your restaurant matches price. I'm always open to being corrected 🤓

Customer service good at the front desk. However the food unfortunately was no where near good. Most of the meat dishes in the bain marines were empty. Especially the Bain Marie that had the lamb shanks in, that was empty with bare bones in it. Such a let down. 1 of the drinking glasses we had, had a big chip enough to cut your lip. The clean plates stacked ready to use were wet. The clean plates are supposed to be dry and hot! The salt shakers on the table we were seated at were empty, with no cap at the bottom of the shaker. Some of the staff on the floor during dinner session were scattered all over the place walking into and bumping into other customers that were serving their food and drinks. Coffee machines must be broken. Selected flat white, and once it was made, it was cold! There was no heat whatsoever. What the heck. Dessert selection is bland. Fortuna used to be really good before. This place has just gone downhill.

It’s been about 20years since I’ve last been there but it was great. It’s designed for the numbers but it was amazing

Always worth every bite!!! Back to this amazing and lovely restaurant serving buffet dinner after 4 years. Offering variety of food, best desserts and drinks. Signs are visible, clean toilets and surrounding. Well mannered staff and efficient booking system. If you have not been to this place, please pay a visit, worth it 👍 Back again for my son’s birthday.

Un buen lugar para comer bien y compartir un momento agradable con otras personas. Es amplio, tiene diferentes estaciones variadas, ya sea para comida de mar, proteínas como cordero, vacuno, cerdo y diferentes acompañamientos, como arroz, papas, ensaladas y para los que les encanta el postre, hay muchas opciones.
