As visitors to Ballarat, we have dined here about a dozen times, choosing it because it's a reliable, pleasant, middle level restaurant that is open longer hours and on more days than most. Visitors can be assured of a comfortable milieu, some class but no style. A few years under the name "Assuntas" it was more quirky, bustling, fun and... More

I was lucky enough to be taken here by locals on my visit to the beautiful Ballarat. Service was of the highest standard food couldn't be faulted a great evening! I would highly recommend to anyone wanting a brilliant evening.

Nothing special with the food here. Servings were average portions with no great finesse re presentation. The menu did not suggest anything special in cuisine - standard small town cafe food. Not sure why anyone would risk eating fish in an inland town?

I was looking for something a little better in Ballarat, as I have become a bit disappointed with many of the restaurants in this city. It started well with a prompt and friendly welcome, but unfortunately, that was probably the highlight of the night. The service, food and overall presentation didn't quite meet my expectations, and did not match some... More

Outstanding the first night - curried scallops is a must. It was so good we went back the second evening - not as good this time as we think it was a different chef. The Choc Mint Cheesecake is to die for.
