We ordered the carbonara, magharita pizza, chicken gyro bowl and lamb. The food was pretty good overall, though the lamb seemed to be the weakest order in my opinion, the pizza and pasta were the main highlights of the dinner. The pizza had a good flavour and char to the bottom, while the carbonara had a nice smooth sauce with a healthy portion of bacon. The chicken gyros were average.
Food: unexpected mix of positive and negative. The small things like chips and calamari fritti we're very nice and crispy. While other items are like, the steak and mashed potato were a bit of a mess. The steak looked like it was straight from the freezer and into the oven with parts well done, parts coming out pink, and other parts coming out uncooked. Atmosphere: not to speak of, as there was only one other table there on a Saturday night. Service: the waitress was nice. She mixed up one of our items which turned out to be a benefit as we were getting full.
I usually don't leave bad reviews, but after we picked this restaurant because we read the reviews. I am convinced majority of the "positive" comments are spam to hide the bad comments from real customers. It's so obvious. And I don't think this is fair to genuine customers wanting to enjoy good food. So, I decided to leave mine. The food is not good at all. We went there, we received the entrees, they were cold. Chips were cold, soggy. We were a big group and perhaps, they should have said they were not prepared for it as soon we entered. We waited for over an hour to get the food and it was not worth it at all 🤣 I ordered the seafood platter. The calamari was so bad, the bread was suppossed to come warm it came cold, hard. The barramundi wasn't good. The prawns was the only thing with flavour from the whole plate. It was supposed to come with "house made" aoli, it was just mayo. We ordered charred broccoli and it came boiled from frozen, as it was noticeable, hardly charred. 0 flavour. When someone complained with the waitress she got annoyed at him, terrible customer service. The prices do not match the food. None one on the table were happy with their food. Some people ordered cocktails and they said it was more juice than alcohol. If you want to enjoy your dinner. Save your money, and do not go there
