I agree with the previous poster..not sure why it's so quiet!! It's great. Try it! The atmosphere is absolutely beautiful...tranquil, clean, modern, high-end. Definitely had vibes of high end dining in Hawaii! Service was lovely. The children were treated respectfully and given paper and pencils to draw with. The food was fresh and delicious with some great menu options. The bruschetta and Caesar salad were brilliant. Serving sizes good. Licenced and well stocked bar. Pricing matches the high-end restaurant that it is. I will be back. Lovely place to dine with the ladies and enjoy a chat. Weave around the back and up the hill a bit, behind the 7/11 and carwash - don't worry, the gardens make the views lovely.

I’ve been to Merika 3 times. Twice for lunch and tonight for the Brazilian bbq. Elthamites, support this amazing local business. It should be busy, especially on a Saturday night and I wonder why it isn’t. Perhaps as the location is unusual? Just behind the 7-Eleven. The food, setting and customer service is awesome, the Brazilian bbq was incredible and great value at $65 pp for 9 meats and 6 sides. Thanks Merika!

Delicious Brazilian BBQ! Full of flavour and a great variety of meats including chicken & prawns. Yummy sides and dessert. Great service & atmosphere.

We went for a walk at the sugarloaf reservoir and ate lunch here. It's a mixture of South American, and Turkish and Hungarian cuisine. I had the secret salmon which I enjoyed and my hubby had the lamb cutlets which were ok. The desserts are really interesting and def worth coming to try.

The vibe at this place was really good — warm, relaxed, and perfect for a fun night out. It’s a great spot for small-sized parties or gatherings, with a cosy atmosphere that makes everyone feel comfortable. The staff were super friendly and attentive, which really added to the overall experience. The food was reasonably good as well, with decent portions and a nice variety to choose from. Overall, a solid choice if you’re looking for a welcoming venue with good energy and great service.
