Visited for dinner, Saturday 19 May 2012

The cuisine is ‘Modern Australian’ and the menu offers a good variety of dishes despite the somewhat remote location. All the serving sizes for main course and dessert were very generous.

Our group of four started with the homemade garlic bread. This was thickly sliced and soft and slightly sweet with a hint of garlic and sprinkled with parsley and was slightly pan fried to a golden brown with butter on the outside.

Two members of the group tried the tiger prawns with a creamy white vodka sauce, wilted baby spinach, a touch of capsicum on a bed of rice - I am told that this was very nice.

The other two sampled the eye fillet served on a bed of mashed potato with wilted baby spinach, sauteed mushrooms and a hint of capsicum on a rich dark reduced red wine jus. This was very flavoursome.


One of my colleagues tried the chocolate mud cake served with whipped cream and a chocolate ganache. This was reportedly very rich.

Two of us tried the berry and white chocolate gateau, which consisted of alternating layers of piquant red berry sponge and white chocolate served with fresh berries (raspberries and strawberries), a drizzle of sweet berry sauce and whipped cream. This was also very rich and flavoursome. The berry layers were perhaps a little dry when eaten alone on the spoon, but this was well compensated for by the accompaniments. An inspired combination!


The small pots of post-prandial peppermint tea were made with real tea leaves.

Hostess Michelle provided outstanding service with a smile.
