    Booked a table online for a Thursday night for 4 adults and 2 children. It was advertised that kids meals were free, but we were still charged for the kids dessert (which is usually free with kids meals) so it almost negated the free dinner. Entrees and kids meals came out in a timely manner, but the kids meals (both lasagnas) were luke warm and clearly a microwave reheat that needed another minute. The main meals then took a very long time to follow and the kids had well and truly finished their meals and were ready for bed by the time our mains arrived. Although the food was tasty, the serving sizes were small for the prices charged. It was ok, but I don't think we would return.

    I love the variety on the meal menu at this place, the meals are delicious. The prices are acceptable, considering all the costs of paying staff, excetara. The staff are very friendly and give excellent service. I like the fact that you do sell Carlton draught beer because I'm not too keen on the niche beers. Yes, I recommend eating here.

    Overall we had a lovely meal and time. A couple of the items seemed a little too salty - but overall we enjoyed our meal and time there. The staff were attentive and friendly. We would definitely go back.

    Amazing as always. Delicious food served hot! The staff are gorgeous, welcoming, friendly, well spoken and efficient! We were treated to free dessert a total surprise and such a lovely generous treat! The staff are able to accomodate my allergies perfectly and always take the extra steps to ensure that my meals are safe for me to eat. I recommend Rowanos to all my friends and family. What a wonderful gem.

    This has rapidly become our favourite restaurant for either a date night or for when we take the children. How refreshing to have a menu so awesome you just cant choose between meals because you want them all. Service is so great and welcoming.

    Fantastic Valentine’s Day dinner at rowanos; waiters were super helpful and friendly and food was great and fairly priced, pork ribs were a bit rich and could’ve done with a side salad but I was forewarned of this so not a big deal. Semifreddo for dessert was incredible. It also wasn’t too loud which was great.
