    Wow ! What a delight it was to experience Goodenia Restaurant for the first time. This is truly a delicious and delectable way to spend an evening as I did with 3 other close friends. Every dumpling ordered was so tasty, and different in flavour profile to the previous one. The service was great from Dinah and our other server, we missed her name, but not the professional way they went about serving us. The ordering system is unique to the area, but I had experienced this style in Hong Kong, so it was great to choose and order at the table. The wine, beer and spirits menu is extensive. We had a fabulous night and we can't wait to return, we will find any excuse. Thank you again for delicious dining.
