    Our waitress was super helpful! Had a lovely meal of tapas and entrees. The octopus was yummy for someone who wouldn’t usually pick octopus. Going back hungrier next time 😁

    We really enjoyed our visit to The Apprentice. It was our second visit and once again the food and service was excellent. The drinks offer of Crown Lager for $5 was also very welcome. We would be happy to recommend the Apprentice. Looking forward to our next opportunity to visit.
