"I’ve just finished my Hawaiian parmi and I felt compelled to write a review. Love this place. I often come on the bike from Bundy for a cruisey lunch with my wife and it’s always a very nice experience. The food is always fresh, good value and the staff is always friendly and helpful. I love that you can just grab your own sides and the choice is great. Awesome place. I’ll keep coming and bringing friends and family here...."

"Friendly staff and a nice country pub atmosphere. Food was good for a pub meal. Not excellent... but good enough for a pub on a Friday night. We all ordered t-bone Steaks. The Diane sauce I ordered was all kinds of wrong. Inedible. Too much of the wrong ingredients in it. My advice , dont order the Diane sauce and you'll probably leave full and happy."

But like Steve McNaughton sung: You can actually enjoy a meal, while you sit out on the patio, breathing the humidity and watch the lightning crack on the cane fields… and laugh and think… The magicians in the kitchen can turn a hunk of rump or a t-bone into something truly spectacular. ‘Do you want chips and salad or potato..."
