  Acceptable range of items, relatively big menu. Huge assortment of alcoholic beverages, and quite a few non-alcoholic beverages too. Serves about five different mocktails which are absolutely delicious.
  
  Ive never had a bad meal here. Hot food comes out hot, cold drinks come out cold. The portions are always huge, sometimes I'll only order a side so I can actually finish the meal, but even those can be pretty big. This would be why prices are a little bit expensive, but you certainly get what you paid for and a little bit more.
  
  The atmosphere in each section of the restaurant is good. There's a beer garden with a smoking and non-smoking area, a sports bar, and a dine-in area which actually looks like a restaurant. The inside area is cosy, if it's cold they'll turn on the fireplace. If you want to dine there, it's best to make a reservation, although they can sometimes fit you in. I've never been in the sports bar. The beer garden is my favourite, it's clean, looks pretty, and doesn't require a reservation. You walk in, find a free table, and go up to the order at the bar when you're ready. They'll give you a table number, and a buzzer if you ordered a cocktail.
  
  There are male and female toilets, and a breathalyzer outside of the sports bar door which is pretty handy.

  First and LAST! time going there.
  It was a birthday celebration with 10 people.
  Made a 6.15 booking which we arrived on time. We were seated and it seemed to be going well, we put in our order for drinks and meals by 6.35. It started going south when I had to bring to their attention that we had been waiting 20 minutes and still hadn't even been given our drinks.
  Amazingly after complaining we had drinks within 5 minutes. Funny that!
  I had noticed 2 more lots of people had arrived around 6.45 and were seated near by. It was now going on an hour since we arrived and I noticed both parties who arrived after us had all their meals served so once again I felt I needed to bring this to their attention.
  Besides the meals now being very late we hadn't even been asked if we would like another drink or even if everything was ok.
  
  So in short it was a terrible night out with little to no reason for such scuzzy service. I would not recommend this place to anyone wanting to have any kind of fun on their night out.
  Had better experiences at the $2 buck shop with stale lollies
