Overpriced Mediterranean salad. No expensive ingredients like nuts or cooking involved like baked pumpkin. Half of it from a tin or jar and put in a bowl. $7 worth of ingredients for $22. Other salads much better.

Looks classy, friendly helpful staff. I've only ever been there to play music as an entertainer but the food always smells awesome.

We loved it. We stayed over and the accommodation was so comfortable, clean and authentic as it was a real country pub experience. Also we had dinner and drinks there. The food was fantastic. The staff were all so professional, well presented and friendly. We definitely recommend it.

We were told we'd get a good meal here and we weren't disappointed. The brisket was full of flavour and fell apart. So yummy. My scotch fillet was cooked exactly right, med-rare, which sounds easy but I am usually disappointed. Thanks for a lovely evening.
