Came back here fourth time. This time the food was worse than my previous visit. Read the review , people complained about the food two weeks ago. The owner acknowledged and will make some improvement. Yesterday I ordered worth of $300 value food. Three of the chicken schnitzels (parmas) , i must admit your parmas are the worst i had in Australia. Absolutely disgusted. The seafood platter, fishes , salmons, oysters arent fresh at all. Oysters are as little as peanuts! Steak sandwiches, fishes, breat meats were absolutely dry and hard like rock! The meats were recooked thats why it's so DRYYY! Do not come here for foods, owner may reply but they definetely wont improve it. Service wise, I got to prepare all culteries, they won't care at all. Atmosphere wise this is defintely a positive one which I must admit! Overally, value wise definetly a -100%.

Lovely location on the water which was lovely on a warm night. Staff were excellent. I wasn't a fan of the lemon pepper calimari and wish I ordered something else.

Im going to start from the beginning. Garlic bread was really good. Fantastic 5 stars.... went down hill from there. We waited 45 minutes after ordering for the meals, ordered just shy of 8pm Drinks took 25 minutes for the drinks/cocktail Scallopini- somewhat cold and lack luster in flavour - added salt - bit better, unfortunately over cooked aka chewy. Parma- extremely thin chicken and over cooked. Again, required seasoning and edges cut off Steak - with side of sauce - no sauce. Required seasoning. Cooked perfectly as requested. Lamb salad - quite nice, not sure if the lamb was suppose to be cold. Calamari - once seasoned, lovely. The staff here, mostly look like they really didn't want to be there. Service was extremely slow. Sadly, definitely down hill. Not what it once was. We won't be back.

A very good dining experience and we all liked the restaurant and bar. It’s right located by the marina and lakeside the view is excellent. It’s a great relaxing environment.

November 2025 Been coming here occasionally for around twenty years. The venue has always been stunning, overall the meals are very good and staff good. In my opinion I have found it an expensive venue however not so bad lately as most dine in venues don’t offer a cheaper experience so I won’t complain 😉Thoroughly enjoyed my New York Parma as I opted for the delicious veggies over the chips and salad.
