    This was the most lovely, delicious dinner we’ve had in a while. The food was INCREDIBLE and so flavourful. Presented beautifully and with excellent portions. I’m vegan and was able to eat such yummy food without feeling left out. We were celebrating my husbands birthday and he said the wagyu steak he ordered may have been the best he ever had. The ambience was so warm and welcoming and the staff were so friendly and helpful. Service found t have been better, I recommend this place if you’re wanting a classy night out or celebrating something

    Excellent Service... the restaurant was full, outside and inside but the service was impecable. It flew withouth any hipcups. Staff friendly and accomodating. Food was delicious, excellently well presented, fresh and quick! The ambience was busy, but bearable. The outlook amazing, with great views. The sun, on a sunny day, helped! The Seafood platter for 2 was verygood, on a small side, but definitely well presented, tasty and more than enough for 2 people. The cocktails list was innovative, with great options. Desserts were excellent as well, very well served, and with an element of creativity. Overall a great experience. Especially that we are comparing with Sydney, which is were we come from although now living in the Central Coast... 10 out of 10!!!
