Excellent meal last night had the pork belly was delicious. Meals not over the top price wise. And service great will be coming back again.
Delightful dinner on a Monday night with all main meals $25. Generous servings, great staff and a dessert tasting plate that is to write home about.
Excellent meal Dec 31 2016. Service was very good and very reasonable prices. We will definitely be going back and will be recommending it to others.
Wedding anniversary so thought a nice meal was in order. 4:00 pm Saturday rang to book a table- answering machine saying leave a number and we’ll get back. Ok. Rang 15 minutes later- answering machine. Four calls over the next hour, same deal. No one interested in talking to me on a Saturday evening? Either they don’t care or are arrogantly confident of a full restaurant. With that attitude, will they care about my food?Seems like a poor business model. Either way, we’ll spend a couple of hundred bucks elsewhere.
Always have lovely food here. Nice simple menu. Staff are very efficient and attentive. Cocktails are delicious. Love the lunch time menu, reasonably priced.
Visited today to celebrate my wedding anniversary. Having visited many times before, I think that the standard has dropped. Our starter of bruschetta was bland. The cheese was not melted and the topping fell off the bread. The steaks were chewy and the fat was not rendered. The lamb shanks were tasteless. My crispy skin chicken has a tiny piece of crispy skin. It was served on the bone. Never had that before. We left without having dessert. Very disappointed as we believe in supporting local. Won’t be going back there again.
Vegetarians and restricted diet patrons are encouraged by the menu at this upmarket restaurant to ask the staff for alternate choices, as even the stuffed mushrooms include bacon. The waitress doesn’t invite any sort of discussion as she says potato gnocchi, thats it with a non-negotiable attitude. Thats not an option if you are gluten intolerant.Last time we were here (yes, we are slow learners) I thought she must be having a bad night because her attitude is not pleasant, let alone friendly. She clearly does not like her work. Considering they have a full kitchen staff, and this is 2016, where even the menu acknowledges that people have all sorts of food intolerance and allergies, I would expect at the very least that someone knows how to bake some vegies and present them with a salad. No, in this fancy restaurant, my daughter had a bowl of burnt sweet potato chips for her dinner. If I wasn’t already feeling disappointed enough with the sour service, limited menu options, lack of flexibility catering to food choices, then I ordered dessert only to discover a large black hair curled under my lemon curd tart. Sure, the waitress yelled at the kitchen staff and informed me that I didnt have to pay for the offending dessert, however, with no actual apology, I left feeling very dissatisfied. When you pay top dollar you are entitled to more than a very ordinary experience. This was supposed to be a special celebration for my Mums birthday.It’s ok. I got it. Next time go to Bombay Bliss across the car park where they aren’t pretending to be a posh restaurant in a modern world.
