Quiet upstairs dining, with an attention to presentation regarding plates. We had the lamb, and snapper, both presented well however being early in the evening it seemed to be lacking in minor ways, nothing too significant. Fish skin was a bit soft, as expectations were of a crispy skin. Lamb was hard to get off the bone. Taste was there otherwise and we did enjoy the different take on the Caprese salad and as always the calamari was nice as well. Would recommend the venue as there are many different options and appears to be good attention to the menu.
This is my second time for dining in this restaurant with my wife. The food quality was high. We had steak and lamb with salad and chips which were cooked very well by the Chef. The lager was also very good. The restaurant atmosphere was good. The restaurant staff were all cheerful and helpful. The bar at ground level is a great place for drink and chat too. The location is very convenient- few minutes walk from Train Station and Main Bus Stop Highly recommend for a great treat. Cheers
First time coming here & did not regret it. The food is lovely!! We had kangaroo (a first time for my husband) & calamari to start. For mains we had lamb cutlet & short beef ribs. The lamb cutlet is literally a tiny piece of lamb (I was warned by the waiter in advance thankfully) & it was fine because we had sides. The hot chips are perfect! We also had dessert; affogato & banana dessert (sorry forgot the name) it was also lovely however incredibly tiny haha like we actually laughed when it came out because it was so small. Overall very pleasant experience. The staff are incredibly polite & attentive 10/10 for the service. Sometimes even if the serving sizes or food isn’t perfect, the service makes up for it. Would recommend to anyone visiting Katoomba for sure. We paid $152 for 2 entrees, 2 mains, a bowl of hot chips to share & 2 desserts & I think it was totally worth it & reasonable.
Good vibe. Good food. Ordered fish and chips and steak. Fish was flavourfull but not crispy enough. Need bit work on that. I think management should take more attention towards the restrooms. Bit funny smell. Overall was nice place
Food was amazing! Had calamari to start & the pork belly for main. Meat was really tender and nicely cooked. The service was also great with both the girls who served us being really attentive. Would definitely recommend!
