Went with the 2 course special and tried to order 2 entrées, which they didn't have due to low produce levels. Had the trio of mezze skewers for entrée and ordered the seafood dimare for a main.

Entree was boring, bland and the vegies on the skewers were almost rare, hardly any haloumi/chorizo and they were soaked in oil. The main was rubbish. Salad looked and tasted like something from Coles with no dressing. Prawns were simply deep fried, the 2 oysters were old and tasteless but the chips were nice. My partner had the panseared scallops as an entrée and were well presented but were over cooked and chewy.

She had the bbq chicken fillets, which were well cooked but the peppercorn sauce was far too hot and didn’t complement the dish and spoiled the meal, the quiche was alright though did look and taste very manufactured. Service was good but nothing worth mentioning. Waste of money, overpriced, and boring atmosphere.
