went for dinner last night, fantastic service and lovely staff, we are enjoyed everything except their food, meat are overcooked, prawn is not fresh and the quality of the food is not worth $45pp.

Not our choice but joined friends for a Sunday evening buffet. Very disappointing overall. The food was lukewarm at best or cold, the night seemed to be Indian themed but there was no difference in taste between the vindaloo & rogan josh and certainly no ‘fire’ in the food. Dessert options were mediocre although others in the party enjoyed the ice cream selection. The cheese selection was good but the accompaniments were basic. Service was okay & pleasant, initially very pushy but once wine was purchased the staff lost interest.The extra bottle discussed had no-one interested to take that order. I considered it very overpriced and disappointing against other dining options, not likely to return or recommend to others.

Went for dinner at Whitby’s few days ago and really loved both food and service.
Place was packed and yet the buffet looked lovely and the service was very attentive.
The young English maitre’d at the desk was absolutely lovely, very polite.
Keep it up……. -

Took the whole family here…around 20 of us. The food was fine, some a bit bland, but overall everyone was really happy. Felt that we could have received better service. I put a bar tab on, yet I had to be the one that kept getting up and asking everyone if they wanted a drink. Was quite disappointed about this because I couldn’t see why a waiter couldn’t have done this for us. The bar bill was only around $100 (for 20 people!) – to me this is a reflection of the service we received. I would dine here again though because I enjoyed the food and the setting.
