The atmosphere is lovely, and the drinks menu has plenty to choose from. I’ve visited a couple of times and the friendly, attentive staff keep making me want to return. The food is fantastic, especially the best steak I’ve ever had. Dessert was pretty damn good too, so save some room. I can see this becoming a regular spot for me. Can’t recommend it enough 👍

The hand-cut chips were the best I’ve ever had, and the steak was cooked really well. The beer selection was great, too. We came with a group of around 90 for a post-wedding get-together, all arriving at once, which must have been a huge challenge for the kitchen. The food still came out at just the right time, and the staff were friendly and prompt. I’ll be back to try more of the extensive menu.

My wife loved the barramundi special, and my scotch fillet with mushroom gravy was excellent. The gravy didn’t taste like the usual packet mix. We stopped in for a quick Good Friday lunch, and both the service and food were top notch. We can’t wait to come back. It’s worth the drive from Sydney.

The relaxed setting would be lovely for a date, and the staff made us feel very welcome. The steaks were tender and juicy, with great seasoning. I also liked that the menu proudly names reputable farmers and gives the marble ratings, which is hard to find at a good restaurant. It’s worth the two-hour drive from Sydney.

We had my daughter’s christening lunch here with about 20 people, and they kindly set aside the lovely courtyard just for us. Everyone remarked on how nice it was, and the food and drinks were delicious. The service was great too. I’m so glad we chose this venue for our event :)
