Visited jollies hilltop for a family birthday Sunday lunch - my god. I have never seen such chaos and unorganisation. We arrived and greeted with attitude when waiting for our table. There was no such thing as table service, had to join the 25 minute long queue just to get a drink. I tried to give the waiter a birthday cake to serve after lunch, and greeted with lots of attitude again!! Food was delicious however the atmosphere and the chaos of the place was just so off putting. After lunch, I asked if the waitress could serve the birthday cake however once again received lots of attitude stating they were too busy. So had to serve the cake myself. I am sure if we ordered desserts, we wouldn't have been made to serve ourselves - and it takes 2 seconds to drop off a cake??
The whole table would have liked to order desserts & more drinks however the queue was never ending, out the door, and just wasn't worth it with the attitude and service we were receiving.
Seems like the business can't deal with in house service & people visiting for takeaway boxes at the same time. Poor management. Food was excellent but the unpleasant & unwelcoming service was enough...

This establishment have to get their act together before taking bookings for this number of people and to make it a memorable occasion, very ...
Read moreThis is our usual date night spot, but we also go often with friends. Went here tonight for a nice Valentine's Day date night, and had a 16oz sirloin steak with smashed parmesan potatoes and a selection of delicious sauces. The steak was thick and juicy and cooked to perfection (mine was medium-rare and my partners was blue), and full of flavour - well seasoned and a nice crust on the outside.
Service was friendly and welcoming as always, and it was a perfect valentine's day meal. I said that if that was my last meal, I could die happy, and I meant it.
We like coming here because it's always consistent with the quality of food...
