The Galley Kitchen - CORLETTE

Reviewing a dinner experience here rather than the hotel breakfast. We shared a delightful pork belly entree, followed by the seafood pasta for two. The pasta was perfectly al dente, and packed with large tiger prawns, mussels, fish and scallops. Truly wonderful taste; rich and creamy without being heavy and overpowering. The tiramisu tart was sensational; a very short, crusty pastry with an oozing coffee centre. Table staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful but it did take 10mins to get anyone's attention upon arrival. This was the same case with breakfast and lunch here. I understand the challenges of COVID-19 but surely guests would much prefer to be acknowledged and seated at their table, and then wait a few mins for service rather than clustering by the door/reception area.

Overall we had a really nice dinner experience here. The seafood platter is their signature dish, it very generous and it was hard to believe it was for only one person. The cold platter with the oysters, prawns, bugs etc was amazing whilst the hot plate wasn’t as nice (fish cakes were a little salty, fish was a bit dry) it was still excellent value and highly recommended. You can probably feed two people with this and comes with a really nice salad. The chilli mud crab was perfectly cooked but the sauce was a bit too salty and probably not worth paying $150. We ordered some flat bread which was nice and the roast pork entree was pretty good. The kids meals there are excellent. Our kids ate really well and finished off with dessert. The restaurant staff were lovely and the view and setting is exceptional. I do rate this restaurant highly and would come back again.

Definitely on the pricier side but the meals that came out were great. Full of flavour and really great texture. I especially liked the pork belly and Balmain bugs and they did a great job with the broccolini side as well. Recommended

This review is for breakfast only. Due to Covid the breakfast buffet is closed. The lovely hard working waitresses will bring you any items from the continental menu plus a main hot dish. Champagne, Mimosas and coffees are included. The eggs on toast was lovely and we were glad the waitress offered us avocado on the side as it wasn’t on the menu. Unfortunately some food items provided were not appealing which we chose to leave. Recommend to arrive before 8am if you would like an outdoor table.
