We ordered two starters (arancini balls and beef carpaccio) accompanied by a glass of wine each. I ordered the pasta marinara (one of their specials) in an entrée size and my fiancé had the gnocchi. I have to say that for an entrée size meal it was quite filling and there was no skimping on the seafood! We asked the waitress for some bread to soak up the sauce (too good not to waste) and they didn't add it to our bill. For dessert we had a Morte Da Cioccolata and a Frangelico and Amaretto Affogato. All was amazing and came to under $150! I poked my head through the kitchen window to give my thanks to the chef for a fab meal, we will be coming back!

So well... it is apt. but there is no exploding ships or battle axes through faces here. Tucked away in San Souci this restaurant is off my usual radar for places for fine dining, and it was amazingly good. The staff here are all excellent at their jobs. Polite and attentive. The food here is exceptional. I had the half roasted duck with turnip, carrot and roasted chestnuts. It came absolutely smothered in a honey like glaze which made it incredibly rich. Friends had the Osso Bucco, the roasted lamb and the pasta carbonara. All were bursting with flavour. My favourite part was the Zucchini flowers stuffed with goats cheese in tempura. I also liked that you could order fried lamb's brains as an entree. Mmmm Brains. Make sure to get the garlic bread and the warm olives to start. Red wine selection is fairly substantial. Parking is at a premium. Bring your Dolla billz, yo.

It can get a little bit noisy due to the way the place is built (reflecting noise back at customers), but otherwise its a nice venue overlooking the bay with a couple of different seating areas for the groups and the couples so they don't get in each others way too much.

The lasagne was nice although not outstanding there just wasn't enough meat for me and I got sick of it half way through. My friend ordered the parmy which she thoroughly enjoyed. Service was very friendly and attentive i would return for the service and bruschetta and try something else next time.

I walked around and found quite a few places to try but in the end felt like some Italian food as it was pretty cool outside and I had already missed breakfast. The service was average which was fine as I was in a hurry and didn't really want the full welcome hog wash. The food, I have pictured was good .... nothing special ... just what you would expect or could make yourself at home. It was alittle over priced for what it was but appeared to be reaching for something else. I probably will not return as nothing really impressed me ... but did the job for that moment.

Located on Surf Road, the restaurant is airy with lots of glass to let in the light, it is very contemporary and pleasant. Most seats indoors, there are some informal high top seats outside too. Service was very friendly and the single server was handling the breakfast crowd with ease as not too busy. The waffles we light and fluffy. There was a nice crunch to them and had one with ice cream and the other one with strawberries. The Banana Roti was served with peanut butter and condensed milk. It was an interesting concept and fairly well executed. The peanut butter and banana combination was delicious. The Shakshuka Baked Eggs had a slight spiciness to it but was lovely and the runny eggs in the sauce was great. The bread soaked up all the sauces. The Huevos Rancheros Baked Eggs were not so successful. It was a bit too oily with the mince and the pork belly in it. It was a bit unbalanced as also had avocado in it so fatty in taste. The tostadas needed to be drained more too. Overall most dishes were great for the one exception.

I handled that. When we arrived, i sat down at the table with my mother father and sister. I have been sick lately and as the restaurant is SO SMALL and they crowd way too many people in the restaurant it was so crowded and consequently hot, i fainted an began to feel nauseous (chronic illness) So we tole the owner that we were sort but we had to leave. Then it started "No, how dare you leave" she remarked "You will not leave how rude are you" and we were shocked we actually laughed at her. She demanded we stayed as it was rude that we left and she said she didn't care abut us. She then said never to come back. She said that we are so disrespectful. I later had to be admitted to hospital. I do not recommend eating here ever. I went back a month later to get takeaway and the food taste dlike horse poo. Awful and all canned and processed stuff.
