Pretty upset, Go to balaclava a lot and have always enjoyed my experience. Went for lunch today, kids meal no longer come with ice cream and they’ve increased the prices, then paid $20 for two choc brownies that looks delicious, for it to come out looking NOTHING like advertised. And strawberry sauce.. YUCK

The service was outstanding, would like to give a big shout out to Loann. She went above and beyond to make my granddaughter's dinner extra special for her. I would like to thank the other staff tonight as well, they all make you feel very welcome.

Wasn't happy with our lunch time visit to this place, would not go back, therefore could not recommend. For starters no printed menus, you have to access via your phone which is bad for older people like myself. My phone is for phone calls and messages, not reading MENUES, it is too small. Our lunch, roast of the day, was only warm and the pork was dry and unpalatable. We were going to order coffee and cake but decided not to bother. Our friends ordered a side of vegetables, the picture showed a mixture of vegetables but what was brought to the table was just a dish with broccoli and beans, it

Thank you to the staff who looked after us during a hard week for our family. Will never forget you, and we will definitely be back. The accommodation was great, and the people who ran it even better, would recommend this place to all.
