“The food was fantastic, I had the ribs with creamy mash and a fresh salad. My daughter had the large seafood chowder with bread and butter. My ribs were OMG delicious the sauce was special nothing I could identify but were sweet and tasty hugging on to super soft gelatinous ribs, my mouths watering just remembering. The staff were friendly and efficient and the chefs were knowledgeable and kind too so if you are hungry and want a delicious and sizeable meal this is the place to visit. My only poor comment would be the bathrooms they need revamping and new facilities would be perfect. Was an awesome drive to KatiKati and the Talisman bar completed our trip nicely.”
