We had an amazing dinner here last night. Firstly, the setting was so beautiful. We did the Feed Me menu for $89 and the food was amazing! So fresh and great value for money. The staff were SO lovely and couldn’t fault them. Sorry we didn’t catch the man and lady’s name who served us but it was on the 4th November. So helpful and kind! We will definitely be recommending! Thank you so much
