    1st time there and a very disappointing experience. First of all the service was horrible and took a long time. i then Ordered the Chicken crepes without mushrooms and was told that the whole meal was mushroom based (didnt say it on the menu). I then went to order the Thai beef salad and was told that the it was pre made and that the beef was rare. So ended having a big breakfast meal (which was the only that appealed to me afte r that) at 2pm... will not be going back and will not be recommending to others either. Very disappointed.

    Very disappointed with the service and the food. Firstly, the 5 other people sitting on my table got their meals about 15 minutes before mine arrived. The lemon pepper calamari that finally reached the table was as tough as rubber - I struggled to cut it with my knife. The salad was 5 wilted, brown, soggy leaves. I was upset I'd wasted $20 on something that was barely edible. I will definitely not be going back.

    Been here twice. First time the staff was rude- we actually felt like an inconvenience being there. The second time we went there, the vegetarian risotto I ordered had a piece of plastic in there, that looked like it had come off a takeaway container. While the staff seems apologetic, when they told the kitchen staff you could hear them complaining and doubting it came from the risotto! Will not go back!!

    My husband's meal had a caterpillar living amongst the greens (lemon pepper calamari), and while we accept the explanation that lettuce etc is washed 3 times & sometimes these things happen, it leaves a very poor taste in one's mouth not to have been offered even a free drink. No-one likes to see live insects crawling across the table from a meal they've just eaten!!! But no...sadly...poor management. Carbonara was overly rich; Chicken Risotto was quite bland and too gluggy; and as my husband said re: his fisherman's basket, he'd didn't want seafood cake! The batter was horribly thick. The Chef seemed to be having either a particularly clumsy night or tanty as pots went loudly flying on at least three occasions; and to add insult to injury, their eftpos wasn't working correctly. I had recommended the venue having previously had good experience but that will be the last time I dine there, and the Lava Lounge holds no interest for me, so I guess you can count me OUT as a future customer.

    Use to love this place.. It has totally gone downhill.. Went there a couple of Thursdays ago for lunch n ordered the beef burger with no beetroot.. What was delivered was interesting.. The bun was burnt the patty was quarter the size of the bun it had beetroot (which i asked not to be put in) it had no lettuce (which it was meant to) no onion (which it was meant to) the saddest bit of bacon (it was so burnt it had shriveled to the size of my pinky) the chips come in this little pretend deep fryer basket (which some love but i really do hate) you get about 5 chips in this tiny little basket. I was so annoyed and you'd think id tell the wait staff when he came back to check on how our meals were going? but he never came back.. not his fault tho he was the only wait staff on and the place was full inside and out.. I was not charged for my burger once i complained.. But i went there to have a nice lunch not to have a burnt burger with nothing in it besides what i asked not to be in there have one bite n be refunded.. We aren't going back..

    We went there for lunch on a Thursday arvo and IMO the food was disgusting.
    Only reason i rate it more than a 1/2 star is because my partner liked his meal, he had a surf and turf porterhouse which he found to be quite gristley and it was overcooked (med when he order med/rare) but he said the sauce was excellent and overall it wasnt that bad (6/10 in his opinion)
    I had a eye fillet which was also overcooked which was meant to be accompanied by a creamy mash however it came with a lumpy mash which tasted like water as did the vegetables, it was disgusting. Seriously overpriced for the quality of food that comes out, i would rather eat at home.
    The service.... well that leaves something to be desired as well, one waitress was very nice however the other was rude as anything and i will NEVER go back there nor would i recommend it.

    Went here for a birthday - half the menu was 'sold out' from the lunch sitting. Food was VERY overpriced and really average.Pay the extra $5 a plate and go up the road. Will never go back.

    We decided to visit Benos for dinner as we had not been there for a long time and could not remember why. It turns out that the reason is because given the competition in Berwick, the food was awful, in my opinion. The bruschetta pizza was over oily, the Porterhouse steak was 1/3 gristle, and the seafood crepe tasted like bubblegum in a pancake soaked in sea water, I am still trying to get the taste out of my mouth. Also poor value for money.

    The staff were reasonably friendly but not very knowledgable of their desserts. The coffee was not the best either and the cost was quite expensive considering.
