View was good, service was good, food was good. Just a bit pricey but some of the seafood platters looked outstanding. We had combination platters and an assortment of finger foods and it was all tasty and prepared and presented well.
8/10

Ordered a Italian Job pizza and it was very nice. Full of flavour.
Mrs had a Trio of Seafood which she thoroughly enjoyed and I had a nibble of the fish and calamari and it was very light.
Used the ent voucher for 25% off.
Came to $50 with drinks and bruschetta
Id give it a 7.5
Definitely will go back
Good to hear someone enjoying a meal there. We had 3 of 6 orders **** up there about 3 years ago and havent been back. Problems included raw beef stirfry and some entrees coming out after others' mains.

The Al Capone burger has had good reviews and the two that ordered it were impressed. I love a good pulled pork burger so ordered the Paul Hogan. It was disappointing. Pork was flavourless, the slaw was overpowering and the bun fell apart and left me with a pile of shit on my plate.
It also pissed me off that they had stocked hardly any of the beers listed in their beer menu.
Might go back to try the Al Capone, but won't be in a rush.

I went "Peppered Rump". Just about the shittiest piece of meat I've been served. Full of gristle, way over cooked and dry ( I like mine medium ), I think the mash was from a packet....
The "salad/veggie" bar had peas, carrots and beans all in separate trays in the bain marie, all about an inch deep in water. The roast spuds were not peeled, still had small eyes on them and were covered in diced packet bacon and loads of cheese! WTF?
The salad consisted of a barely there greek salad, a horrible looking crab stick/seafood salad with celery and a dressing, tinned baby beetroot and corn. The bread rolls got delivered on Friday and might have had a zap to warm / harden them.
Saw a waitress drop one of the little plastic holders that the wine list sits in ( you know the ones, the little laminated cards sit in them ) and all she did was kick it towards the wall out of the way. I watched her walk past it 4 times and she looked at it on 3 occasions.
So, you can imagine this reviewer won't be suggesting this place to anyone, nor rushing back in a hurry.
Food 1.5 / 10. Service / staff 4 / 10.
Clearly the meals are there to keep the pokie players happy as when I went for a flutter there were 2 off $1 machines empty in a room of 40.

That's a shame, I have found this one to be OK over the years but I have only ordered schnitzel there admittedly. The appeal of this place for me is when we are broke we go there on schnitzel night and get our 2 meals for $12 with the voucher. The salad and veg bar is normally average but they do have the seafood extender salad which I actually am a big fan off. Normally this place is about a 7/10 for me but that's heavily based on the price and the fact it's generally hard to f$ck up a schnitzel. I tend to save my steak meals for slightly nicer venues. I agree the service there is average.
