   Great service, nice relaxing vibe and food was really great! Cocktails need a little work but overall dinner at the smoke pit is a great experience! Also there's parking and easy access and kids had a great time!

   Unfortunately the valentine special was quite small considering it was for 2 . We also were very sick the after eating and that wrecked our special night .

   Thank you for taking the time to review your dining experience, and sorry you didn't find the food was enough. Most people end up taking home a take-away container with leftovers on our sharing plates, and we had several people too full to even fit the included dessert, but we are always open to feedback on the quality and quantity of what we put out. We have made contact with other diners and have received no other reports of illness after dining on Valentine's Day. We are deeply sorry this was your experience. We have logged your feedback in our reports and invite you to contact us with any concerns about your dining experience directly to discuss in the future.

   Food was great but with the package for valentine's day they were offering a bottle of wine. We are under age so obviously we couldn't have that, Unfortunately they didn't offer something in exchange of this which was disappointing. Apart from that everything was excellent.

   Thank you for taking the time to review your dining experience on Valentine's Day. The Valentine's Special was an optional experience, and the full menu was available on the evening. We are sorry if this was not made clear to you. Next time, feel free to discuss your concerns directly with your server, as we would have been happy to swap out for soft drinks, mocktails or thickshakes if we had been made aware of your situation.

   food was absolutely delicious. My fave would have to be pork belly burnt ends in that fruity glaze it had on. It was so divine, also the seasoning on the chips and the mac & cheese pies were the highlight of my meal.

    Delish food but waiting over 30min for next serve of all u can eat platters was ridiculous.

    Thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback, Chantelle. We always strive to deliver a speedy service, but in that final week before Christmas, things can get very busy in the restaurant which can impact our usually super-fast turnaround. We hope you'll give us another go and visit us again soon.
