    Me and my friend went for the bottomless lunch the host was lovely and the drinks were good way to much ice that you couldn’t drink through the straw though. One of the bar tenders was super rude to my friend he had a hat and was short he barley filled drinks halfway before pilling on so much ice which he then pushed down with his bare hand we ended up scooping off the top layer of ice once we got back to our table. 100% not enough food for a bottomless also not clear enough that it was only bottomless drinks and not bottomless food as well, food was not great the 4 pieces of cauliflour was bland and soggy as were the 2 spring rolls, calamari was fine but only two piece is ridiculous the same with the aranchini, the chips were good and that was all the food me and my friend went and got more food after we left as we were still hungry was not worth the money and we won’t be back.

    Great value food package. The steak with salad & chips was great. We enjoyed it with the drinks included, whether it was the schooner of beer, a glass of shiraz, or ginger ale.
