Fine surrounds, excellent service and delicious food combine to attract hotel guests and locals. Enjoy the relaxed, yet elegant atmosphere and watch the hotel guests come and go. The adjacent Deco Bar provides peaceful live music from Wednesday to Saturday. The luncheon banquet (AUD26.50) has a reputation as a cordon-bleu feast. Select from smoked salmon, fresh trout, Caesar salad, dolmades--and then tackle the main course! Chicken Maryland, beef medallions, mussels in white wine and blue-eye cod are just some of the dishes standing between you and the selection of about 20 desserts. Breakfasts and dinners are also served. Strictly no smoking.
