We were taken by my daughter family visiting from Oz for my birthday last Sunday night. Well 3 out of us ordered the fish chips the batter was not crisp, the fish had no flavour tasted like frozen hoki. The chips were not crisp the coldslaw boring. The 3 hamburgers were ok but not anything out of the ordinary. When I mentioned to the waitress she said she would tell the chef the manager came over. We told him about the fish his only explanation was that they do a gluten free batter it can get a little limp who wants that! He was not bothered really you'd have thought they would have noticed the food left on the 3 plates! The bill for 4 adults 2 kids came to around $250 will not return.

Very disappointed with the manager that was on this afternoon. I took my parents out for a birthday lunch, we received our food and my dish the beef check fettuccine was very bland so we sent it back and asked to get a bowl of fries instead. We then finished the rest of our meals, which we did enjoy. On going up to the counter to pay we were told that there was nothing wrong with the dish and it was ment to taste like that.. to which we replied that it lacked any flavor it was just beef and pasta with water? My wife then asked to pay half price for the dish as we only had 2 spoons out of it. To which the Manger replied that they would not do that and there was nothing wrong with it. My wife said that someone should have told us while we were at the table that we would still have to pay for the dish as she would of asked to take it home and add some sauce to it. We ended up paying full price for a dish we didn't get to eat. I'm very disappointed that the company's reputation doesn't mean more then a few dollars because to us it wasn't about the money it was more that attitude we received from the manager. In saying that we did pay over $200 for our meals and still left a tip due to the other front of house staff. We will not be back and will not recommend people to go there unfortunately.
