   I signed up specifically so I could write this review. DO NOT DINE HERE ... EVER !!! At almost $100 for a dinner for 2 people, entree, main and a drink, I would not even feed it to my dog. The lamb shanks were big, but the taste was very average. They came in a large plate with some mashed potatoe and the whole lot was covered in a watery "gravy", though gravy is definitely not an accurate description. My wife had Pork Belly which consisted of 2 pieces of fat. There was some meat on it, but boy did you have to search to find it. And the side of veges was not very appetising either. I read 4 reviews before going. One of those reviews was bad while the other 3 were OK. I wish I had taken note of the bad review. I will NEVER return. A complete waste of money.

   We dined here (for the first time) as a group of 4 last weekend for my birthday and were very disappointed I am sad to say. Firstly the waiter did not know the menu (or ingredients of the dishes), then my husband and I had the duck dish which was almost inedible. The duck breast was a generous portion but was cooked until dry. The vegetables were yellow beans that were barely cooked, broccoli that was overcooked to mush and chewy/hard polenta. The overall dish was really bland. The service was attentive but the staff seemed to struggle at times with understanding our requests/questions. Then we ordered glasses of port and a glass of the late harvest reisling for dessert. The port came in the tiniest glasses I have ever seen(not the usual port glass) and was very overpriced. The reisling was bought out but was a glass of normal reisling - not dessert wine. We tried to explain to the waiter that this was not what we had ordered but he was just confused and had to bring out the manager who tried to convince us that it was correct. It took quite an effort to explain that we were after the dessert wine - which was finally served correctly. Although the staff were friendly and were trying hard - the overall experience was not pleasant and (I feel) overpriced.

   I booked an evening dinner for 28 people for my sister's hen's night. I met with Eunice (the manager) who was lovely to organise the dinner. Eunice decorated the restaurant in colours to match my sister's wedding theme and made a print out menu with the meal choices that we selected. The table setting looked great! The food (eye fillet steak and baked chicken breast mains followed by a selection of ice creams and chocolate mud cake) was delicious and all of the guests were really satisfied. The staffs were friendly and efficient. I would recommend this restaurant for anyone planning a celebration or just a quiet night for two. Thanks Eunice and staff for a really great evening!! My sister was really pleased!
