    Ordered one starter to share, mains and two drinks. Starter came after 15 minutes and drinks after 30. And only because we called the waiter twice.

    My husband had the lamb undercooked and very fatty didn't want the sauce so had red wine jus for 3 pieces of lamb was $48 for small pieces .My daughter and I shared $149 for seafood platter that came with no oysters in my opinion that's unacceptable replaced with 3 scallops nice but we wanted the oysters maybe kitchen should have better stock control and you have to pay for sides should be included in what you order .We are residents and all 3 of us were disappointed

    We dined here for the pre-fixe Christmas Day dinner. Pros: the food was very tasty and the ambience of the resort was beautiful. Lovely spot. Cons: Our reservation was for the 715pm sitting; however, we were not seated until 8pm. While we waited, we ordered drinks from a very disinterested bartender. After being seated, we had to ask twice for our drinks and our waiter never checked on us. They deemed disorganized. Overall and for the price we paid ($150AU per person) it was definitely not worth it.
