    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.

    We've been to this restaurant several times already and it has become one of our go-to places. My husband really loves it here, so we chose to celebrate his birthday at this spot. The staff were very kind.They helped us prepare a cake with candles and even played a birthday song. It was a lovely experience, and we’ll definitely keep coming back. Highly recommended!
