Had a BBQ Bluff Schnitzel.
Topping was nice but the schnitzel was pre cooked: dense and not juicy. Could have been a real winner had it been freshly cooked. They probably do this to cater to the numbers but I won't be back and long term isn't sustainable.

The bar staff saved this review, absolute legends they are! Meals however took an hour and a half to arrive, quality was varied. For the price the steak was a 2/10 at best. Would recommend this place as a vibe for a few beers with your mates but the food needs a lot of work

Since the upgrade the dining area space is very limited as is seating availability. On our recent visit the meals were very disappointing. The food had a funky odour. The schnitzels were tough and the chips soggy. Cooked in filthy oil as a result of poor kitchen management. No improvement here, give it a miss.

We went for dinner tonight, there were 4 of us, including an elderly couple. We booked for 6:45pm. We arrived at 6:25pm and were advised to wait. Our table wasn’t ready until 7:00pm. We ordered at 7:05pm. At 7:45pm the manager came over and apologised for the long wait for our food. He said the chef had lost it and wasn’t coping! We advised him we would wait until 8pm and if our meal wasn’t there we would leave. At 8:05pm after an hour wait we left.
The staff were nice and were doing their best under the circumstances. I felt for the wait staff however it was poor management and totally unacceptable for the kitchen staff to put them in that position.
We won’t be going back any time soon. They need another 6 months to fine tune the place!

Met my sister today for lunch, renovations are fab. We shared a beautiful bottle of Milton Pinot Gris and shared 2 starters.

Smoked Eggplant Miso caramel, labneh & cashews
Campfire Double bre, prosciutto, quince & sourdough bread

Amazing food, and the two young women who served us were lovely, friendly and professional.

Highly recommend, will go again.

Went here for dinner after the recent renovations. The staff are lovely, but still a little green (they made some mistakes, took our plates too eagerly and checked in on us too frequently)

Food is good, but not great. I got the Chicken Parmi which tasted great, good portion size, crispy crumb. But the chicken was dry (it was 2 filleted breasts, not tenderised).

The salad served with it was more like a garnish, delicious, but only a few dressed leaves and slices of cucumber.

I do like that you can choose from any of the sides to accompany the parmis (more than the usual chips/salad/veg offerings)

The fondant potatoes were delicious, but a little floury. The beet salad was excellent.

We also got the beef burger, which lacked a little in the presentation and the bun was lacklustre, but overall delicious.

Chips and gravy hit the spot.

Overall the vibe is lovely in there now it’s freshened up, with a few new little nooks and crannies to hang out in, making the sound quality fairly high. I was easily able to have conversations even though the place was moderately busy.

I’ll go back again, but not in a hurry.

I loved it. All I needed. Great location, and the view of the mountain (Mt Wellington) is perfect 👌
