Went for Burger Wellington after a friend (vegetarian) suggested it would be a go as our guest was keen to visit the Weta Cave.
For $18.50……I was astonished!
Is this price reflective of the clientele they imaging being a captive market out here in “Wellywood”??
Not happy with it at all. No sides, no flavour & no imagination. Zany Zeus ricotta and goat’s cheese fritter Was bland. Spiced beetroot was weak. Hummus and toasted walnuts (Minuscule amount) in a sesame seed bun, with onion rings and hand-cut truffled fries (3 on the plate!?)
The Eastern Suburbs are being taken for a ride! -

6 for Dinner one Thurs night. Great venue, friendly staff. Meal was superb and all reasonably priced.
Had two entrees which was sufficient and dessert, of course.
Will call again.
Eastern suburbs – try your local cafes.
Saves driving into the city. -

Amazing variety of food for a cafe in the suburbs. Food is fresh and tasty, and the cabinet is always stocked with yummy treats. Kiddy friendly with a menu that caters for them too. The staff are always friendly and helpful. Polo, you serve your locals well!

Love it! The right mix of great food and relaxed atmosphere for a suburban restaurant. Food you would expect at a fine dinning place but you can take the kids. Great menu. The best produce. Awesome fresh seafood always. Pricing while expensive not over the top. No need to go into town if you live close by. World class suburban restaurant. Fantastic staff, helpful, knowledge and trained.
