We had a great experience. The food was delicious and they had a good range of drink options. We’re were able to easily talk to each other and it wasn’t loud at all. The view over port Arthur’s historic site was beautiful. The staff especially our table waiter were wonderful and so polite.

Sadly we arrived to our 8.00pm booking very slow service for drinks, food specials were not explained, when we finally ordered some items were unavailable. Food then took over an hour to arrive just the entrees then longer again for the mains. Fish was nice but chicken was dry and not flavoursome. When we left to pay the manager asked how everything was and when we gave feedback she was quite dismissive and made excuses. Disappointed overall!

Thank you for sharing your feedback, Mandy. We’re very sorry to hear about your disappointing experience. The delays in service and communication about menu items, as well as the issues with your meals, are far below the standard we strive to uphold. We’re especially sorry to hear that your feedback was not handled appropriately when you spoke with our team—this is not the impression we want to leave with our guests. Your comments have been taken very seriously and will be addressed with our staff to ensure improvements are made. We deeply regret that we didn’t provide the quality dining experience you deserved and hope you’ll consider giving us another chance in the future to make it right.

Overpriced. Mains were the equivalent of extremely small entrees. Nothing but the protein. Extremely disappointing.

Was a busy night and the service staff never let a smile leave their face, they were always lovely and friendly considering our booking was double booked so we didn't get the table we wanted, there was no chicken, no rosé, ran out of potato's and oysters. The food we ordered was lovely

While the staff was friendly, unfortunately, the rest of the experience left much to be desired. We waited over 30 minutes without anyone coming to take our drink order or even fill water. The oysters were served with an extremely hot sauce, but there was no warning or explanation about the condiments. The main dishes were also disappointing — the pig cheek was overly salty, and the beef braised was not particularly enjoyable. On a positive note, the wine selection was good, but overall, the experience fell short of expectations.

Was really looking to our meal before the booked ghost tour. Booked to allow enough time for the tour, the young ladies were very polite in their service. I want to actually give the service staff a shout out, having to do the job knowing that we were not happy with the wait time and food. However firstly the first three things on the menu that I ordered including the wine they did not have. Then the food took way too long to come out and when it did, I could not eat the oysters I ordered as the three sauces that went with it spoilt the whole meal. The octopus meal was nothing like I had expected again the sauce ruined the whole meal. I have never given a poor review, this is my first time. I normally do reviews giving appreciative feedback. Though it does warrant feedback to do better 1830. Very disappointed.
