Waterloo​のロマンチックなレストラン

Song Bird last night was an extremely memorable occasion. It got off to a flying start when one of the guests said that the old bloke with the pony tail acts like he owns the place.. Needless to say they cracked up when I told them he did actually own it! The girls started with the best martinis they have ever had and then some wines the sommelier suggested. The beef tartare and kingfish were voted 10/10 as were the succulent prawn wontons, scallop and lobster spring rolls,pepper beef pancake we started with. Next was the absolutely best Peking duck ever followed by amazing coral trout and a sweet and sour pork you just have to have once in your life. Our host Oscar was so efficient and so friendly it just put the icing on the cake. Can't wait to return.

Agnolotti pumpkin pasta was absolutely delicious! We ordered two servings and so thankful that we did . Cotoletta Bolognese is another standout dish that I always order when I come to the Neptune Grotto. We particularly enjoyed the wonderful and attentive service provided by the team. Great selection of wine and what a great place for a dinner with friends. Highly recommend it to anyone!

Here is what we love: - The setting is lovely - Our kids love the decorated laneways - The chips were excellent and the aioli was great - The schnitzel steak was excellent and so too was the accompanying sauce - Sitting near Fluffy - Thank you for turning down the overhead heaters that were burning the side of my head Here is what could be improved: - The Poison Apple special dessert. What to say? I can hear the Masterchef judges saying it is visually spectacular, 10 out of 10 for presentation. It is certainly very impressive. But the flavour lets it down. The apple itself was very pleasant, but the accompanying earth, soil and moss components were bland and lacked any distinct flavour. The chocolate shards were good but would have preferred milk chocolate. The honeycomb was nice. Everything else, which made up the bulk of the plate was pretty flavourless. Could have done with a raspberry or passionfruit coulis to sharpen it up. Or just something else. Perhaps a caramel would have gone well with the apple flavour. - The salad with the schnitzel steak was not appealing. Just some lettuce hearts plonked on a plate with some radish garnish and a not particularly nice dressing. You could definitely do better. - We needed to get going but after serving our food, our table server kind of disappeared. We found him at one stage and asked for the bill, which seems to have been forgotten for another 15-20 minutes. Concerning for us, as we still had to drive home to Newcastle. It was past my daughter's bedtime and we had had a big day, so I was becoming tired. Would have been nice, once finished, to quickly collect the bill and get out of there. - We were disappointed that you denied my daughters request to keep the teddy bear drink jog. OK fair enough it was an unusual request, and why should you? They might be difficult to find. But we still felt it was a little mean spirited. - There was a lot of ice taking up my virgin mojito, so I didn't actually get very much to drink.

So good to get good old fashioned service with a smile. Brilliant. Thank you

Our waiter Lily was fantastic. We were celebrating my girlfriend’s birthday and they were so kind to give us a complimentary tiramisu. Food was great :)
