DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!

Four of us went there last night for dinner but never again. I had garlic prawns ($14.90) as an entree. FOUR very, very small prawns were swamped in a large amount of chilli sauce that tasted as though it had come out of a bottle. Underneath was a mound of rice. The whole thing was quite unpalatable so I ate just the miniscule prawns. The waitress who took my plate didn't even bother to ask if there was a problem with the food. We all ordered the Rosemary Lamb ($29.90). Big mistake! There was more fat than meat on the plate & the lamb was lamb neck - I used to buy that for my dog! We ate very little of that course & when the owner took my plate his only comment was: "Is that the best you could do for us?" I started to tell him that there was way too much fat but he just took off. When another waitress removed the remaining plates on the table she asked how the meals were but when one of our friends said not too good, there was no interest shown. We had asked for the sauce accompanying our lamb meals to be served in a separate jug - no, it was just poured over the meat. We all live & work locally & agreed it was truly the worst meal we've had in the area & totally overpriced for what we got.

Approximate cost: $45 p/person
