Now... the food. Epic. Seasonal. Simple. Divine. I started with their marinated tomato salad which was fresh and flavorful. Entree was the steak with potato, onion rings and veggies - absolutely incredible. Naturally I had to save room for dessert and landed on the vanilla crème brûlée (though all the options sounded amazing). It came with fresh fruit and pistachio biscotti and was a great way to round out the meal. I would come back here again and again and again. Bravo!!

All delicious. I particularly like the seeded biscuits that came with the hummus. We washed that down with a nice Sauvignon, leaving just enough room for a passion fruit mousse {vegan, GF, DF}. A lovely meal, only marred by the ever-increasing volume from neighbouring groups, which by 7.15 had reached the shouting stage, to the point that any music being played was totally redundant! So yes, l lovely food, but try to get a table in the restaurant, not the bar!

Overall the ambience and service were good and the food was generally fine. The one issue was with…read morethe Gurnard main course, which came with corn fritters. The fish was absolutely fantastic. The corn fritters on the other hand should never have been served. They were burned black, and one taste was enough to inform that they were not meant to be that way. Three stars because I informed the server when our plates were picked up that while the fish was great, the fritters were burnt and inedible - server promised to "inform the kitchen". On paying the bill I was thanked for my candidness in sharing my comments. But I was still charged full price for all the items on my bill. There was no accommodation for serving me effectively a $43 main course that was less than two-thirds edible. An unfortunate showing for what looked to be a promising restaurant.

We didn't have a reservation so we were seated at a counter and then later moved to a table. The highlight was definitely the tiramisu --delicious and served with a little scoop of gelato as well. The penne carbonara was also cooked well and tasty. The cannelloni was decent but really packed with spinach --could've used a bit more of the cheese mixed in to balance out the flavor. The burrata appetizer was not my favorite as the inside of the cheese was not very soft and runny. The service was decent throughout and the prices were about what I would expect for the area.
