   Food was well cooked and the service from the staff was great. Not the best Buddha Bowl I have ever had, the steak was beautiful. My main criticism is that the two meals should have come out together , not 15 minutes apart. Cardinal rule of service. I have been taught to not start eating until everyone has there meal, which meant mine had cooled right off by the time I began

   Tasty food. Toast was lovely, but the crusts made it hard to cut. Food ended up all over my dress. Coffee was very strong, should have asked for half strength. Lovely eggs and pancakes and beautiful outlook over the lake. Very friendly staff.

   Food normally good. Possibly because they were busy the chips were not up to standard.

   Staff were polite and pleasant and the lake view a major plus. We ate lunch late and were still in the internal dining room at 1:45. Apparently, all the tables must be back in position and cleaned by 2 pm. This created a lot of noise so we had to move outside. We have been a few times over the years and food is always very hit and miss; mediocre at best. We know not to have several of the choices, e.g. lambs-fry as it can be overcooked and tough. My chips looked as though they were from the end of a frozen packet - many small bits. It was a similar story for my two guests. They both had grilled barramundi which was overcooked and somewhat dry. The position of the internal restaurant and the external cafe is excellent next to the lake. That is why we have come back a few times. Unfortunately, this visit will have been our last. Over the years things have declined, especially the food. You really need to review your service and the quality of the food.

   It was a great meal and night out. Food was great and service to match. We went on Valentine's Day but will be back. Thank you so much.

    First of all, first timers… so first impression terrible, walked in… the way it’s set out didn’t really know where to go, then headed to the bar.. to find the staff who ask “how he could help” wow so good!!!!! Secondly on the booking it asks “what’s the occasion” why bother nothing was mentioned so much for celebrating our anniversary there, then had to order at the bar so not a nice experience, and with only a handful of customers after a few minutes while eating entrees I was told they didn’t have a part of my meal left?!?! What really!! Was offered a different option or another meal, I went with a different option, and in saying only a handful a people, there was plenty of tables that hadn’t been cleared away either… so we like to try something new / new place because we do eat out a lot, but WE WONT coming back to this place, the only lovely thing was the location we sat on the patio over looking the lake…. (It should just be the hotels cafe)
