I love the Acorn , whenever I enter it's like a big hug , the food, service , staff and familiar patrons are all so homey, friendly and a safe place.. Awesome bands too. Maybe one negative, keep the coffee machine on a bit longer many times unable to get a coffee and still early.

I dined inside with a friend in the late morning. We received excellent service from our waitresses who were knowledgeable on dairy content in the drinks when I ordered lactose free hot chocolate. The food was delish, and beautifully presented. I loved how many of the dishes included Australian native flavours and ingredients. I will try a balcony table next time! 👌🏻

This was the second time eating at the club, the first time the Sunday Lamb roast was excellent but this time the meat was dry and tuff the vegetables were raw very disappointing but that will deter us from going back my husband and I became members. Will try other meals from the menu our guests had the fish and pasta which they thoroughly enjoyed so I hope it was a one off for us
