There are not a lot of places open for dinner on the upper Sunshine Coast--not past 7:00, so I actually made a reservation. But these people have no idea of how to run a restaurant. The view from the deck is great, but the restaurant...is a depressing, unclean, sadly 'decorated' room. The menu is unimaginative, cookie-cutter 'pub' fare.
They had a golfers' event on--all were past their best. And the restaurant should have been closed to the public. They had one server. Who took our drinks order--a coffee and a beer. She never made the coffee and I watched her give my beer to someone else. Then a couple she knew came in. She served them. Then another couple. Same thing. And a third. By this time, she was telling people that they were going to have to wait a long time for food. But she served them drinks, while we just sat there. So we left.
With staff shortages, the owner and his family should have been working. They weren't. There was no one checking for vaccine passports--I offered to show the waitress ours but she seemed not to know what I was talking about. There was no one cleaning tables. Just a bunch of unhappy drunks sitting around. Ugh.
It's probably a fine place to play golf, but don't bother with the restaurant.More
