My partner & I had been doing car shopping all day, we were tired & just want to order takeaway to eat when we arrived home. A one hour journey from this business to home. So we grabbed the takeaway menu & order the Carbonara Penne & a Mediterranean Salad. I noticed on the bottom of the takeaway menu, there was an offer of $5 off any takeaway order over $30. And being on a limited budget, this was a good deal. But when I asked for the discount, because my order was over $30, he told me that I couldn’t use the deal then & had to wait until my next takeaway order. However, there wasn’t anything mentioned on the menu about using the offer on my second takeaway order. We really enjoyed the food. Very nice but I will not order there again because of the owner’s attitude towards me. He wasn’t interested in me as a valued customer, just my money. I hope he reads this review & learns from it. Even though I tried to tell him we might never have the chance to come back there for a long while, because we were from that area, but he didn’t seem to care. Why offer $5 off your meal & not honour it. What’s shame because we loved the food.

My partner & I tried this club for the first time. As we got to the front entrance, the courtesy bus is parked right close to the front door & causing congestion at busy times of the day or night. I also noticed that the club management hadn't provided any bins for smokers to dispose of their cigarette butts leaving smokers no choice but to dispose of their butts all over the front garden & on the ground. It's the first thing you see as a first impression, when entering the club. Extremely poor on behalf of the club management. I hope they read this & provide cigarette butt disposal units immediately. My partner ordered Porterhouse steak & it was tough. Because my partner has Parkinson's disease, have to cut his food up & I found the steak hard to cut up even with a steak knife. I had chicken parmigiana & it was so tender & very tasty. I thought the desserts were very expensive at $9 each, even though they offer a $1 coffee or tea with dessert. We ordered lemon meringue pie & raspberry & lime tart & they were very nice. We were lucky to get a table in the bistro as they were booked out, but we arrived & there was a cancellation. Plenty of room to move in between tables & a really nice atmosphere. No screaming children running around & mainly older people so it's great for people who just want a quiet meal & conversation. Other than what we didn't enjoy, we had a great night anyway. Definitely room for improvement.

My partner & I ate here for the first time, being new to Ballarat. The decor & lighting is dark & dingy with no atmosphere. The toilets are up to full fights of stairs, so no good for my partner who has mobility issues. They don't tell you that upon entry. The waitress suggested we could go across the street to another eatery & use their toilets. How bizarre. My partner had the Mexican pancake that had way to much shredded lettuce. I had the Tiramisu pancake with cream & mascarpone on a pancake with chocolate bits. Both were over priced for what they were... nothing special. Our experience was spoilt by a loud father who constantly felt the need to control & manipulate his 3 children's every move. It really spoilt our nice, quiet meal. We'll try a eatery next time that has a rest room for disabled people.
