Location is horrible, overlooking a woollies Carpark. Staff were lovely but service was so slow. Took forever for drinks to arrive and orders to be taken. At one point I asked to see the drinks menu again and the waitress showed me the computer screen for cocktail options. No clue. Our main waitress was lovely. Just overall experience was slow. I won’t go here again, purely due to the ambiance, location and lack of “experience”. Equate all that to the value of spending $150 per person, and it’s not something I will repeat.
