Tidy, new, very convenient for a night before the boat trip. Excellent value for the price. That squishy soap in bathroom is genius, now I want one in my home.

Our meals were not too good. My beef schnitzel was just okay, but my wife sent back her chicken schnitzel after just one bite. It had an odd, sour, vinegary taste to it. To the staff's credit they refunded the cost of the chicken schnitzel without us having to ask.

Popular with locals with great views over the Mersey. Friendly service and good selection of your favourite pub classics. Try the fresh Gummy shark, they fo half serves.

So glad we made it here for a meal in the bistro, as with most places they stop cooking around 8pm. Meals were fresh and tasty, the coating on the homemade chicken schnitzel seemed to be a cross between and crumb and a batter, it was yummy. The pepper sauce was a favorite. The scallops were also tasty, nice and crispy chips. Staff were friendly and attentive. Will stop again.

We had an impromptu dinner, great location and clean and tidy inside. The food was plentiful, well cooked and tasty for a reasonable price. Well worth it for dinner or lunch overlooking the port and river exit.

Came down from Launceston for a night away, picked the elimatta for tea and glad we did! Our bruschetta was very tasty and our mains were also very very nice! Chicken carbonara and the braised lamb shank yum!

My meal was below average, roast potatoes were so hard I couldn't eat them same as the pumkin,meat was beef but tasted strange,meals came out in dribs and drabs and service wasn't exactly friendly. Giving 2 star only because other friends said their meals were really good. Get it together or definitely won't be back.

We came in as a huge group of soccer parents and young teens with a bazillion orders and much hunger. The staff were patient, positive, efficient, attentive and the food was lovely. Special shout out to Kirsten… who, for such a young waiting person was just outstanding in troubleshooting accidentally ordered cheese and tomato on chicken and two rogue chocolate puddings (amongst many more things, I’m sure!) thank you all, we appreciate your patience and smiles.

Today We had the roast Beef. It was ok but I don't really like half cooked vegetables and I the gravy was a strange flavor. A orange juice cost $4.00 and a can of drink $4.50. I think we will check out other places next time..

Had a Sunday lunch in the Bistro. Meals were out in 15 mins, service was great and the meals were delicious . Only complaint is that the pork belly wasn’t crackly on top.
Tap beer selection is good.
