Nice atmosphere, large and spacious, seemed clean and tidy. I had the seafood chowder which didn't have much seafood contents. We also had a pizza that was tasty but seemed under cooked. Topping kept sliding of the base?? Both meals together cost $60. I would have expected better. Staff were friendly, and courteous.

Burger was reasonably tasty but the meat was on the colder side which negatively impacted the overall flavour and experience. Front of house wait staff were friendly. Ordering drinks via an app is great but you have to order one drink at a time rather than multiple for the table. The restaurant was only 40-50% full but it was quite noisey, difficult if you are hard of hearing. The toilets could do with a more regular clean.

Went in for dinner last night with a big group of 30+ people. Coming from a hospitality background myself, I knew it would be a challenge for the staff, but they handled it really well. The fire alarm went off twice during our visit, so we had to evacuate each time β obviously annoying for everyone, but totally out of the staffβs control. They followed protocol and managed the situation calmly and professionally, especially considering many of the team looked quite young. Big credit to them. Surprisingly, they even gave us a 10% discount, which they didnβt have to do since the issue wasnβt their fault. It was a nice gesture and appreciated by the whole group. The food has definitely improved since I was last here a couple of years ago, which was great to see. Service was spot on too β friendly, attentive, and efficient. All in all, a good experience given the circumstances. I donβt normally leave reviews, but this one was well deserved. Will definitely be back.

I had a beautiful salad with chicken which has always been consistently good and i enjoyed once again today. Was missing the red onion from it though. We all enjoyed our food. The interior changes have lightened the venue. The waitress now brings a tablet to table for customers to order. Felt in the time it took her to explain how to do it our order could have simply been taken. Only negative was way too much ice in our drinks, so will know for next time. Great portion sizes.

Food was a bit underwhelming and I really can't justify paying $7 for a can of sprite. I think the name carries this place rather than the reputation. Nice setting and the staff are friendly enough but look like they'd rather be sleeping.

Amazing food! The serving is more than what we can eat but still manage to finish it though. We went there during lunch time and ordered Pork Ribs, Fish and Chips and a dessert platter. The Pork ribs is a bit salty for my taste, on the other hand the fish and chips is perfect. I highly recommend the dessert platter, itβs a little bit of every dessert they have, really good. The staff are accommodating, and the ambience is quiet and relaxing.
