It’s been awhile since I last ventured here and boy what an exceptional experience. I arrived needing to renew my membership, ladies on front desk where very polite and professional. As I walked in they had escalators that lead upstairs to their new gaming lounge...which makes sense that they moved it upstairs, this venue has flooded out twice to my knowledge.
Lavaracks is no more, a little disappointed although the friendly staff ensured me the restaurant downstairs has incorporated the menu for everyone’s budget. So after getting a nice frothy still cheaper than anywhere else (bonus). I headed downstairs first to the big screen area. I swear this is the biggest tv in any establishment in Townsville, just a shame this area looks still to be under construction. Toilets especially having to walk so far away. The venue looked to have a members draw on tonight $29.5k wowzers, and it went off! Amazing. Now to the restaurant, just my luck a new menu. Quick look through an the kids option was Tin Lids lol showing my age here, the great kids band before the wiggles shot to fame. How classic and original for a menu name. The menu looked basic but obviously due to covid still plentiful of options and the staff member was right it did incorporate prices to everyone’s budget, so I ordered the Yardstick eye fillet Mignon with chips and salad. Cooked to perfection the chips weren’t bad the salad fresh however the dressing may need looking at. The wait time was reasonable I walked in there during what appeared the busiest time but still got my meal within 30 mins. All in all a great experience, have to come back on Sunday for their Sunday draws, I want a meat tray.More
