Requested the upper levels but when hot there was told there is a wedding so not able to get our request. Would have been nice to have been told that seeing how I spoke with the restaurant on the day to changed the time. The food was amazing and plentiful, but again they had run out of prawns so was disappointed All in all good very good. Was very busy but did not have to wait long for the meals

Still the best of all the DOC locations. Comfortable seating, today was warm enough in the Spring weather to sit outside which is the best. Welcoming of big family groups who challenged my elderly mum’s hearing. But she still ate her way through her favourite pizza AND the best tiramisu! Extra positive were the take-home meals of ravioli, rigatoni and ravioli. Yummmmm
