3 of us had dinner last Friday evening
Parking;
Out back there is ample parking space, but it was raining and there was no rear entrance so we had to get a little wet walking from the carpark to the restaurant
Location;
The signage is inadequate
I googled and that sent me five minutes up the road away from the restaurant
Fortunately I knew the vacinity of where it should have been so I drove up and down the street a few times before i finally noticed the small (not obvious) sign to the restaurant
Booking;
I booked online very easily, and the restaurant were ready for our small party once we arrived.
On the booking I had flagged the meal was for a birthday dinner but this was not acknowledged at all during the dinner so don't know why it is an option they have when booking
The restaurant;
Was family orientated, clean, well decorated with their theme and up market
The staff;
They were very friendly and attentive
They allowed me to change tables when I asked and also brought me more napkins when i asked
They accommodated our request to have entree at the same time as mains
Top marks for the staff, give them all a pay rise, front and back house staff!
The atmosphere;
The restaurant lighting was minimal and we all commented to each other that we couldn't see very well
I think this was because there are large windows along the entire entrance wall spanning the width of the room that glares from the daylight
They should be tinted to reduce the glare and make the indoor outdoor transition easier on the eyes
The food;
Very nicely cooked and timely, fresh mostly
The menu offered was enough variety for us all to each try something different and share tasters
We ordered;
> The buffalo wings entree (6 inconsistent sized wings)
Unfortunately these were dry, over cooked and chewy
The buffalo sauce on the wings was nice though, along with the side sauce
> The salmon main
The cook on the good sized salmon fillet was perfect, not oily and full of flavor
The accompanying salad complimented the salmon well
> The smashed burger
Huge bun and the yummy creamy mushrooms, bacon and chicken flavor was very satisfying
The cup of fries were a nice touch but pretty average
> The prawns main
Around 6 or 8 king prawns (i think) and these were also beautifully cooked
The salad and rice where also tasty and refreshing
Not really sure what the burnt lemon slices were for but there were only 2 thin slices
I squeezed it over everything yet I felt the dish was still a little dry
> The water
Was warm and tasted like it just came out of the tap
We requested a glass full of ice so we could cool our drinks down
Overall;
I'm generally happy and would go back, but only really to try the dishes we hadn't had that night.
I certainly wouldn't order/pay for those buffalo wings again
I would be more prepared of what I would order of there is a next time, as I think the prices for each dish are a couple dollars dearer than they are worth
There's my 2 cents worth
Thank you
