I really enjoyed the retro vibe created by the 80s furniture at the waiting bar. The restaurant offers spacious outdoor and indoor seating, providing an excellent atmosphere. We ordered the Scotch fillet, fish and chips, a crispy chicken burger, and the market fish. Each dish came in generous portions and was beautifully presented. I requested the fillet to be cooked medium-well but received it medium instead. Nonetheless, it was still tender and well-seasoned with the mushroom sauce. The sides, including the salad, eggs, and chips, were also quite tasty. The staff was friendly, and our food was served in a timely manner despite the restaurant being busy. Taste: 7.5/10 Presentation: 9/10 Service: 8/10 Ambience: 9/10 Value for money: 8/10 Overall, the price was $35 per person.

We took our friends out for lunch, and this place is conveniently close to the airport. They have a great selection on the menu for both vegetarians and non-vegetarians. I highly recommend the cauliflower balls, fish and chips, and calamari as quick bites.
