Staff were lovely. Ordered the BBQ seafood salad with Nan jam sauce. Salad was soggy and the 3 orange segments still had seeds in, it was all swimming in about 2 inches deep of the sauce. Cost was $34 My conclusion. Food is overrated and expensive and not great quality.

Great location on the water, but the quality of food has really declined recently and they charge premium prices. Avoid the pizzas and grab Domino's instead. For the price it's really disappointing.

The food was very over priced and was terrible. We went there this evening with friends. The location and scenery is beautiful and the staff were all very nice. The food however was terrible. I ordered the Lime Apricot Chicken. It was grossly overpriced and was not at all nice. I managed to eat only one mouthful. The so called lime marinated bacon wrapping the chicken wasn’t much bigger than a postage stamp, the chicken I don’t believe was cooked. One bite and it was jelly like mushy and not able to be chewed. I did not continue. It had me gagging. The seasonal garden vegetables were four stems of broccoli and the apricot sauce was about one table spoons worth. In all the portion size was very small, about the size of a toddler’s closed fist. For $38.00 a rip off. On her collecting our plates, I questioned the waitress if she often sees plates for collection with so much uneaten food on them? Apparently yes, and much worse too. We won’t be back !

From the moment we walked in we felt welcomed - the worker behind the service desk was so very pleasant, we were directed to the restaurant and taken to a table. Food was absolutely divine and manager was so attentive and friendly!!

We went here for Father’s Day this year, and were truly disappointed. We ordered the seafood platter. The scallops were dry and rubbery, and the oysters were ruined with what tasted like cheap bulk BBQ sauce. The only acceptable part was the precooked tiger prawns. There was only half a lobster which was covered in processed salad dressing, taking away from the delicious natural flavour. Whilst the view and atmosphere still make for a great outing, the food has really gone downhill. Time for the club to seriously think about an overhaul of its restaurant, and it was definitely not worth the ~$200 for the platter.
