Review of 300 Acres

Nice venue, meals quite expensive for the standard served. The starter/nibbles offerings are very limited, we opted for the bread and olives, which was disappointing. A few slices of hard, charred sour dough toast with a tiny amount of olive oil & dukkah - nowhere near enough for the amount of bread served, we ended up trying to soften the bread in the dregs of the oil in the olive serving. I am sure a more generous serve of olive oil/dukkah would not not break the bank. The 'special' that evening was Chilli Mussels, which I love, so I was looking forward to that - sadly again I was disappointed, a very large plate arrived with about 10 mussels (half of which were empty) and a serve of rather bland tomato sauce and two slices of the same hard, sour dough bread - not worth $24.00. My husband's choice was better - good old fish and chips. The staff seemed a little lost too, we were asked a couple of times if we were ready to order having already placed our order, and i over heard the next table having the same issue. We decided to have a liqueur and coffee, sadly the liqueur selection was poor and the waitress did not know what any of them were & had to keep going to the bar to ask for information. The overall impression was one of complacency, nice venue, guaranteed clientele (golf club) so they have taken their eye off the ball with regard to the standard of fare being offered and the level of service.
