Went to try the food as we read in the paper there was new owners. The food was fresh, well prepared, and great taste! Couldn't fault the portion size. The burger had a generous, homemade, flavorsome patty, and the schnitzel was cooked perfectly. The mushroom sauce is creamy and perfect topping. The salad was fresh and prepared nicely. There was plenty of room, and the service from bar stuff was pretty good. Getting charged for garlic butter on the chips was a bit rough, considering the meals and money spent. But to be fair, the prices were set very reasonably to start with. We were a bit concerned the atmosphere might not be right for dinning, given it had a fair few people drinking on a sunny day, however the dinning area was separate and guests were drinking responsibly, so the vibe was nice. Given the wharf and Mitchell's are gone, we are in the market for a good pub meal destination, and we certainly food it here! Extra bonus is plenty of parking! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Front doors weren't open making it not a very obvious entrance, maybe adding more signage to make more noticeable? Once our group went in we notice a nice inside set up unfortunately we got to the bar for lacked effort hello. Then there were 3 of the tap beer out of stock, hardly any range in bottles, very small options of common rtd's available.

Took my daughter out for lunch. We are both so full. Prices are good, place is warm. Thought it might have been busier for school holidays. Mushroom sauce is on point. Meals came out reasonably quick as well.

I hadn't been here for years and regularly used to eat here in the past. The service is wonderful and friendly. We arrived just before midday on a Saturday. I was blown away by how quiet the place was. Only 1 other diner with people casually dropping in eventually. The food was very nice and I would go back. Price per person $20–30 Food: 3 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 2

Been there twice. Both times drank a few beers and ate some finger food. First time, it gave me very bad gastro. The beers are basic. Nothing too exciting. We watched a rugby game. People standing up in front of the screen but staff not doing anything about it (despite asking them to have a word with them). The pool table is good. The screens are mostly good. One dodgy one. Bar staff not the warmest. Overall, I'd only go back if there was a big game on and I couldn't find anywhere else to see it. Has potential though. Price per person $40–50 Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 2
