    There’s no doubt, the food is delicious! The ambiance and service were great. The problem is that the portion sizes are ridiculously small. We were a party of 4 for dinner and selected some entrees to share. $26 for two scallops - and no mention when we ordered that there were only two. Most ridiculous were the garden vegetables we ordered to share with our mains. The plate looked like a work of art, beautiful! BUT there was one small okra, one baby carrot, three slices of zucchini/cucumber- not sure which because there wasn’t enough for everyone so I didn’t have a vegetable. Honestly, it wasn’t even a serve of vegetables suitable for one, let alone for four people to share. As I said, the food was delicious but portion sizes exceedingly small, and prices quite high anyway but even more so when you consider the quantity. Had to have some Vegemite toast when I got home because I was still hungry. Quality, service and ambience excellent, value and portion size a let down. Great if you’re on a diet, I guess.
