"Called in for an early dinner as they were open at 4.30pm. Came with the kids (one is a coeliac). They had a seperate fryer for Gluten Free, so the little one got chips (yay!)..... And we had an awesome feed with some great cocktails. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Murwillumbah!"

"Staff who could not be more welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble for them and every request of our party was met, without demure. The beef brisket burger I had was delicious, as was my partner's pizza which they accommodated with a 1/2 and 1/2 order."

"This was our first time. We arrived after 8pm and they made us feel welcome. The menu looked good and watching the meals go out they looked good to. We shared 4 pizzas which we all enjoyed and took away leftovers. The service was very good, friendly but not overbearing. Would come back."

"Food was excellent. The room is a bit concrete and empty and there was a slight sense they were trying to move me on even though the place was empty. But that said, the chicken sumac was really, really good."

"Unfortunately we share the opinions of other reviews that the salty gravy overwhelmed the other flavours The dining room was noisy and cold so overall a disappointing experience following high expectations"

"Our party of four had dinner there for my birthday last night. It was very quiet with lovely music playing in the background. The food was sublime and the waitress was so lovely and friendly , she definitely brightens up the place. Would recommend to others and will definitely be back again next time we are down that way. Only thing I have negative to say is..." Read more
