Expensive ordinary food. Unfortunately, this place has gone downhill. While back, it had a great food menu with some interesting and tasty dishes + great Budvar on tap. 3 years on, and food is just OK and horrendously overpriced for the pub. $184 for two decent Parmas and two tiny Barramundi dishes. That is 4 ordinary meals. Apparently, this included 15% holiday surcharge, which was an unpleasant surprise when we went to pay. There is no table service - queue, order and pay at the bar, then wait for buzzer and get your own food. And get charged arm and a leg for the privilege - no thanks. If it wasn't for a very nice beer garden, I'd give it one star. Not coming here again.

Been there several times but wasn't impressed today. No one advised us of the 20% holiday tariff that was added to our bill. The meals weren't presented well, looked like they had been slapped on the plate. Not enough bar staff to meet the demand. Need to separate bar and meal payment areas. Not enough dining staff to manage the room. Overall a disappointing experience compared to other visits
