    When we arrived for the Christmas buffet lunch at the suggested time. We only had left overs to choose from. All the seafood had gone. The lovely wait staff were fabulous and bought out some prawns for us. 9 prawns for a table of 5 really not good value for the $100 per person. Regretfully, we were seated next to people who decided to bring their dogs. If I knew dogs were permitted on the premises I would not have booked.

    Lack of organisation is how i would start , advertised as seafood and Christmas dinner and guess what minimal seafood served, no one at the buffet to check when food was empty and after staff were notified it took 15-20 minutes to get anything topped up Personal i would recommend people to stay away as there are plenty of other good spots to eat in that area

    A super Christmas buffet with fresh oysters and prawns, delicious roasts, veges and salads, plus pavlova and sticky date pudding. And more of course. Staff could not have been more cheerful. It was great.

    The waiter was great very happy, friendly, atmosphere was great, music was quite loud so you had to shout a little to talk to each other. Entrees were great panko prawns and bbq chicken wings. Mains were very average, steak was tough and very chewy which was $48, wife gnocchi was very flavorless and tasted like it had skin all ready formed on the outside of, like a cooked potato, wasn’t soft and melt in your mouth, ordered Bundaberg gave me ginger ale which was fine but said it was a bunderberg. Then got told there out of stock. Been wanting to go here for a while and was disappointed. Won’t go again unfortunately.

    My friends and I recently ate at Meantime - The Entrance and loved the experience. The service was very friendly and the food was great. I was the only Coeliac that can't eat gluten and I was like a kid in a candy store trying to decide what to eat with everything being Gluten Free. I enjoyed my choices and the squid was really good. My gluten eating friends didn't notice the difference and also thought the food was great.

    We had a lovely family dinner and were impressed by the service. The waitress was really accommodating of our messy toddler, offering thoughtful suggestions for kid-friendly options. The whole family enjoyed the meal, but it was especially wonderful for our coeliac daughter, who loved the great gluten-free options available. Thank you!
