Appauling. Disgusting. Disappointing. We waited 1hr 45mins for mains which never arrived so we left. The chef wiped his face and hair with his hands and then mixed the salad with his hands without washing them. Don’t bother going there

Wine prices were outrageous for this type of restaurant. There were 6 red wines on the menu and prices were, 1 x $55, 2 x $83, 1 x $87, 1 x $150 and 1 x $240. To ad insult to $$$ injury they had sold out of the $55 bottle. I would not go back at these price levels for wine that is to be served along side pasta. regards
