Mach One Bar & Restaurant

Arrived just as the kitchen was closing.. the staff were more than accommodating, in making sure we got some dinner. The food was great and the atmosphere was more than adequate.

We went to check out this restaurant as the Airport Mercure Hotel had been advertising the daily breakfast buffet deal for $20. We went for dinner. The seating was very comfortable, the service very friendly and attentive and knowledgeable. We ordered the grain fed Scotch fillet with mushrooms and cheesy croquettes and the pork belly. The steak was cooked medium-rare and tasty, although I would have preferred the sauce on the side or around the steak, rather than poured over the top. My husband mentioned his pork belly lacked flavour and could have had more crackling and sticky sauce, however, all in all it was a tasty meal and nicely prepared. The tasting platter for 2 was very nice also to start off with. We paid $105 for 1 entrée and mains, plus a glass of wine. Will definitely come back to check out the brekkie. The hotel is only 18 months old, and pretty much the only decent dining place around Raymond Terrace.
