25th August 2010 It has great wait-staff and a fair selection of food. The pudding buffet is not as good as you would expect but the amounts of food you get is your choice as you just go up and select what you want unlike quite a few restaurants where the price is too high and the amount of food is tiny. 3 and a half stars because it is a fair restaurant, and would recommend to people looking for a nice and decent meal at a fair price.

4th August 2012 The staff were awesome and couldn't be faulted in anyway. However, the seafood wasn't very nice & you could tell it was frozen not fresh. A lot of the heated food had been sitting for some time including the hot chips which had shriveled and gone brown. Also a lot of the food was smothered in sauce. Alittle lack of variety for meats. Not sure it was fully worth the $$$ unless you had $30 worth of salad. Not sure if I would dine again.

26th January 2012 What can i say. The service was good, the wine generous. The seafood all from frozen, and lack of choices. There was ham and chicken, no roast lamb or beef or pork, no roast potatoes. Every buffet option was either bathing in oil, or covered in cream. The brocoli ( the only fresh vege option) was smothered in cheese sauce. Thats fine, but it should be optional. Every meal was either from a can or from a packet, and the results were awful. For the expensive price, i would expect fresh food, and healthier choices. Th desert buffet had a good selection.
