    We had to wait a while for service. Meals were average, small portions. Prawns were ordered with sauce on the side ( chile)but we received with dressing over the top… I have a reaction to spicy food. The 2 side dishes with our Tomahawk steak consisted of A few carrots, broccoli & 1/2 a sweet potato.This was to be shared with 5 people. Dessert was good. In all a very expensive dinner…$280

    Had a fantastic night, With my family for a birthday. We booked a table for three. We ordered the variety of different things of the menu and regardless of what we ate it was fantastic to die for even. The menu was easy to read and accessible as a whole was very simple. My parents are close to elderly and required additional patience and assistance to read. They also need appropriate glasses and the font of the menu was large enough for them to read what they were going to get. The waitress that took order was phenomenal. I think her name was Jaya. I’m a relatively nervous person and I don’t like any confrontation, however on my dad‘s dish there was a missing item that should have been on it. Having worked in hospitality, there is so much understanding that sometimes. These things happen. It’s no fault of anyone, and it was a Saturday night. So when I brought it up with Jaya, it was what maybe moments later that the missing item on the dish was given to us by a young boy from the kitchen, with many sincere apologies. This was fantastic. I was, in particular; was very pleased at how affective Jaya’s ability of conflict resolution is. It was an enjoyable meal. We as a whole felt looked after. We don’t eat out often, but this was something nice and beautiful.

    We've been going to that restaurant for years and we had consistently positive experiences. Last night though it seemed like we went to a different restaurant. We sent one stake back (it was undercooked), the taste of the pasta that I usually enjoy it was far from what it usually tastes.

It’s certainly not the standard we aim for, and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention. We’ll be sure to look into it and hope to have the chance to welcome you back for a meal that truly reflects our best.
