Visited with a group of 14 for our work function.nWe had an incredible experience at this restaurant. The staff were amazing—attentive, friendly, and professional throughout. We couldn’t fault a single dish from the three courses each of us enjoyed; everything was cooked to perfection and beautifully presented.nnThe atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it a perfect spot for a group gathering. A special shoutout to the chef for the outstanding food—each bite was a delight.nnHighly recommend giving this restaurant a try! It’s absolutely worth the five-star rating.nnWould we return? Absolutely!
Staff were AMAZING, food was delicious, and the atmosphere was divine. Ok selection for vegetarian and the deserts were phenomenal. Thank you!
It’s a really great location, our waitress was fantastic. But, to call yourself a cocktail bar and have someone making drinks who had no idea what to mix to make a simple few cocktails that come out tasting horrible and nothing like they should, due to the wrong ingredients in them. Benefit of the doubt, ordered some more, maybe it was a mistake, nope, happened on the remaining drinks, thought at least you can’t mess up an espresso martini on tap why you would even serve it like that is beyond me, don’t try it unless you’re a fan of drinking Syrup. I would steer clear of the expensive “Cocktails” grab a beer and enjoy the view, hopefully that will arrive chilled!
Came in on Boxing Day around 7pm, got seated outdoors right away.nnMain gripe about this place was that the service tended to be pretty slow. It took about an hour for our mains to come after ordering, maybe 20 min for the entrees. They also forgot a drink.nnThe food I tried was all of pretty good quality, though! Out of the 3 dishes in our group that I tried, the prawns shrimp for us Americans were great. Tender, juicy, and flavorsome. These appeared in the poached prawn entree, prawn pasta, and pork belly + prawns.nnWe also tried the mussels entree that came with 2 slices of foccacia in a tomatoey broth. The broth was great but the choice of focaccia instead of something like sourdough may have been a slight mistake. The mussels were a bit overcooked but not rubbery. They didn't seem frozen.nnI had the pork belly and prawns main, which featured three nice chunks of pork belly. The menu doesn't specify for this dish, but I think the pork belly is thrice-cooked based off of another menu item. It was indeed encrusted nicely and looked very dry on the outside not doused in oil. But the inside was juicy and almost gummy with the pork belly fat. The flavors were very nice with some spices complementing the pork flavor and the gelatinous fat combining with the flesh for ultimate satisfaction.nnThey only gave me three prawns shrimps which disappointed me. Each one was perfectly cut and twisted, seasoned to perfection, delicate and bold at the same time. But only three! The rest of the dish was also quite tasty - the veg and potatoes, but again oh so little!
Traditional and old fashioned food presented well. We need to keep restaurants like this alive. Staff was very proactive and pleasant. Desserts were above par. Good choice of drinks and cocktails. Location speaks for itself.
