So now to the dinners at the resort.With the Govt. voucher dinner was included and I am sure that on the voucher website it was a 3 course dinner but the website was taken down in mid November as you had to book very soon after being notified you had been successful in getting a voucher.
On arrival at reception was told yes it does include a dinner and told you can choose anything of the menu and was handed a voucher for each night.But when we turned up for dinner and handed over the voucher we were told it was only for 1 main course each.So I said we will have the seafood tower for 2. Sorry that is not included but we will allow $25 each of the cost -$90. Well the main courses were apart from 1 $25 or more.
So mrsdrron had the salmon and I the Sri Lankan seafood curry. The salmon was Ok and only slightly overcooked. The curry was a small serve and quite disappointing.

We washed things down with a local Orford sav.blanc. Passable.

Now we have had lunch there a couple of years ago with
@RooFlyer . It was quite OK.However it has obviously changed hands. A totally different menu and staff. On the second night
@RooFlyer joined us. As the steak was the dearest main we could have that's what we both had and Rooflyer did as well. it was quite acceptable. But the service was a shambles. We ordered a bottle of white. A little later the waitress came back and said it was out of stock. So we ordered another one. When a bottle finally arrived it was a different brand to that ordered. it took a long time to come so Rooflyer asked the manager if it was coming only to get a tongue lashing for interrupting him.
The manager it turns out is from Nepal.Our waiter from Sri Lanka and on her first day at work.
We did have desserts and this is mine.

No it is not a scallop pie.It is a pear and rhubarb pie. It tasted exactly the same as the previous night's dessert but in a pie case..
So I do not recommend this restaurant.
