July 2019 Ok it's been a year. Thought I'd check it out again with a family group for lunch. So yes, still a good atmosphere, but unfortunately still average and over priced food. 8 of us and no one raves about the meals. A few had variations of the sandwich/crostini. The various toppings of salmon, steak, roasted veg looked good but huge slabs of bread filling the plate. Comments from around the table "salmon too salty" "my toasted sandwich uncooked on one side and more bread (inch thick each side) than filling". I had Caesar salad with chicken and pancetta - tasty but just ok. Carrot cake afterwards a thin slice, not fresh and for $8. Coffee ok but one of our party asked for hot milk on side which was forgotten then cold when remembered. Friendly service but not impressed overall.

The steak was perfectly cooked and the potatoes and broccoli that came with it were the perfect compliment (I've never had au gratin potatoes like they made it and it was absolutely delicious!) I got a Pinot Gris with my steak while my husband got a beer with his. My kids shared popcorn chicken and small fries (thankful they had Heinz ketchup since my kids do not like Watties or other tomato sauce). Although next time we will probably have to get them the steak since they really love steaks. The customer service was excellent, very friendly and took great care of us. We will definitely return here and highly recommend!

Went there using a Grabone voucher which was $36 for 4 lunch/brunch items. Since there were three…read moreof us we decided we would share the 4th item. It's lucky we had only 3 of us. The steak sandwich on ciabatta bread with chunky fried was okay. Another one of us ordered the hash stack and belly pork and black pudding only to find it was chunks of potato scattered over some thinly sliced pork and quite dried pork (that was the belly pork) and a few bits of sausage. Even at the Grabone price that was pretty poor value but for a full menu price of $19 it was shocking. My friend expressed dismay at the dish and to the restaurants's credit they replaced it with the steak sandwich. We also ordered calamari salad which comprised of a few pieces of calamari scattered in a bowl of salad greens. That was a very small portion also. Finally we had their version of the big breakfast with eggs, ciabatta bread, scrambled eggs, sausages, mushrooms (there was one mushroom in the disk), baked beans and tomato. List price for that was $20. Other cafes in town do much better big breakfasts for less. On the whole a very unsatisfactory experience and I will never go back. They need to really review their menu items and the descriptions and employ a more skilled cook/chef.

I had hogget taco and my partner had pork taco. Kinda small, and not presented that well. Meat looked dry. However it was quite tasty but could have had more flavour and the tortilla corn taco an overwhelming taste. Corn and nectarine side salad very fresh and tasty. Although not sure that two thin slices of nectarine really qualify as top billing. Amazing chocolate honey drizzle cake. Mixed messages from staff. Some very nice, some dismissive. So 50/50 on everything. Would go back if friends wanted to but would make that choice on my own.
