The food was delicious! We had the mid week special, $45 pp for bread, main course and a glass of wine/beer and it was great value. The duck pasta was fabulous, plenty of duck meat and the mafaldine pasta was lovely. The steak was very tasty and cooked perfectly. A great experience!

A wonderful dining experience! Delicious food, impeccable service and a lovely atmosphere made for a perfect relaxed dinner celebrating a special occasion. The staff were warm and friendly, and it was a lovely touch that the head chef stopped by our table to say hello. Highly recommend! We thoroughly enjoyed our evening and look forward to returning to try more of their Sri Lankan dishes.
