Top notch food and service. They have done their hotel chain proud! Fish and Steak mains were done to perfection and desserts were simply sublime. Prompt Service with all smiles and nothing was a bother despite our table’s requests for additional cutlery, sharing plates, water and accomodation of an additional last minute guest seat.

Raw tuna in crispy wonton is an outstanding dish - great combination of quality fresh ingredients, flavour & texture. And the fish curry (barramundi?) was again, the result of skilled perfection. The food is exactly WHY we are happy to pay for food, the way it is supposed to be cooked - by people who know what they are doing! Thankyou.

We had such a lovely experience. Our waiter Yash was brilliant. The atmosphere was beautiful they had live sting music playing Christmas carols. The food was all delicious. The standout was the turkey sandwich and little snowman chocolate on the sweets. Highly recommend with a few friends
