Wasn't expecting much, but got less. They do average well No front of house staff at 6.30 Sunday a few other customers waiting walked away. Wasn't busy at all. The attraction to this place is the upstairs balcony overlooking the lake (but its blocked off every time ive been.) Staff seemed disinterested. Food and drinks were good though.

Really disappointing. When paying nearly $50 for a steak meal, you expect the steak to at least be cooked correctly. Medium rare came out well done (refer to pic). Never mind the fact is was like chewing leather. Won’t be back, do not recommend. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $50–60 Food: 1 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 3

Recently popped in for lunch with friends. From entering the venue we felt unwelcome as the girl who greeted us begrudgingly offered us a table in the bar side. Clearly the Cafe was busy so we let it slide and took a seat. A lovely young man returned to take our orders. After a long wait, we received meals for our table of 5, one meal at a time which is always a little awkward. I ordered a chicken burger which was a generous serving despite stale buns. I did enjoy what essentially became a chicken salad as the buns were inedible. Fortunately our 'bounty' cocktails were a good size and pretty filling! A few issues with orders, unfortunately eggs which were ordered poached arrived greasy and fried accompanied by cold dry and hard bread (not toasted or buttered) . A steak sandwich ordered medium rare, was delivered well done. Both were returned to kitchen and replaced. The server was very obliging and apologetic which was appreciated because other than his service we felt very unwelcome. In fact it would have been a 1star for service if not for his efforts.

Showed up late notice with no booking and was catered to by staff. Service was lovely and top notch and the food was amazing. My wife had the salmon which she commented was delicious and my steak was cooked perfectly to my liking. The garlic ciabatta bread went down a treat as well. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner

Was here with a group several months ago, so food was ok then. I never got to the food stage this time around because the front of house service was abysmal. Waited way too long for someone to greet me…and then it was a bog-standard “are you alright”. Not “may I help you” or, “are you wanting a meal” Another couple walked out, but the Uber man was attended to promptly. My response was “I’ll be better if someone would show me to a table so I can eat” Waited and waited and waited …three waitresses walked passed and didn’t even acknowledge me or attempt to take my order; but they were very attentive to diners who already had their meals. End result….you guessed it, I walked out and went to Dixie Browns. Service: 3

We went for the Boxing Day dinner. The food was amazing. The staff was very friendly. Although we haven’t made a reservation the team helped us to find a table and managed to get the food ready as early as possible. Food was great and portion size was filling.

Got there on Saturday after concert at about 6.00pm, and we were told we couldn't go upstairs outside as it didn't open till 6.30! Not very accommodating, so we went outside down stairs, at about 6.20 we saw people upstairs outside!! So decided to go up. Was it not for us concert goers, only locals! Won't be going there again. Food has definitely gotten smaller, but price hasn't. Staff need to be a bit more friendly and accommodating. Would have stayed longer and spent more.
