My relationship with the Happy Wombat began when I stayed at the Quest for a work trip in Newcastle.

The food is good, if a little expensive, but the staff could use a lesson in manners. I will not be returning after hearing a staff member unfairly bad mouth a customer without even checking that the customer had left the premises. Rude and unprofessional.

There was a family group of 16 or so celebrating a birthday. The restaurant was nicely appointed and roomy enough for such a big table. I find it hard to judge a restaurant when they have a large group but everyone seemed to like their meals. I had linguini with chicken bacon, mushrooms and cream and it was tasty. My wife had barramundi which she rated. Others had snitties that looked good. Will definitely return.

My wife took me here for an early (6pm) dinner for my birthday and as it had been a very warm winter's day (it got to 28 degrees C) and we had our little dachshund in tow, we sat at one of the outside bench tables with high stools on the footpath, which as my wife noted may not be conducive for a long drawn out meal. Nonetheless we were comfortable and very well attended to by our friendly blonde Norwegian waitress.With our puppy settled in on his rug under our feet we ordered the lightly friend crumbed mozzarella balls as an entree to share, my wife went with the cannelloni as a main and I had a special of fettuccine with crab, zucchini flowers and lemon.And a bottle of NZ pinot noir called Baby Doll.All our meals were delicious and flavoursome and cooked with a delicate touch. And the pinot was also very nice. We had a very nice evening and chatted to the table next to us where their patriarch was also celebrating his birthday.A very enjoyable meal and definitely recommended.
