Spent 400+ dollars on 4 tickets for dinner and show to see Lawrence Mooney. From the outset Mooney is great, very crude but funny and we always love seeing him.

Venue: Average place but typical RSL bowling club atmosphere. You would think front row table would be the best seats in the house. How wrong can one be. Our table was a Bunnings type fold up plastic thing with legs that got in the way and the chairs are so uncomfortable you could see everyone moving around all night to get some comfort. Along with 3 other tables that were also jammed hard against the stage and ours was right in front of a speaker tower literally inches away. Of the two seats we had they were facing the stage but only one had a full view of the act for the whole night, the one against the stage was blocked by the speakers for a lot of the show. Two seats opposite were actually facing away from the stage, so no view unless we turned 180 degrees and there was no room to do that without inconvenience to the other patrons. So we were uncomfortable from the outset.

Now let's talk food. Entree and main included, desert was pay as required and it was so expensive and after $400 plus another $200 on drinks, we didn't even go there. Food was served alternately like an old fashioned wedding. Entree was a few pieces of fried squid with some white sauce the alternate being three small arancini balls and a few pieces of green leaves. Acceptable to a point. Main course a small chicken piece with a slice of potato bake and some sauce, alternative was two slices of beef with some veggies. The beef was literally inedible. Mine was not eaten and others on our table were picking the fat from their teeth as they tried their best to consume some it. Tough as the soles on your shoes and full of fat. One bite was enough so it was wasted as was a lot of patrons from viewing the plates as they were taken away. Disgusting and unacceptable for the price we paid. Drinks at bar prices and not cheap. EG: $12 for a glass of white wine is top restaurant pricing. So all up we loved Lawrence Mooney but the venue is second rate at best and after spending $600 + these four will never go back again.
