  We had a rather poor experience for dinner. Risotto and gnochi were basically the same beetroot thing covered in an attempted white foam that was thick and overwhelming. Worst was the liberal use of rock salt, which cracked in your mouth and was overwhelmingly salty.

  $8 slice of sourdough is a stretch, but when they brought out crappy untoasted gluten free bread for my why it was a joke.

  Incredible food. The set menu was a proper feed and the flavours were incredible.

  Hugely disappointed! I ordered the swordfish with monkfish livers. It came in a huge bowl with literally 2spoons of food in the bottom, I measured it. It was made up of exactly 5 shaved pieces of raw swordfish, monkfish livers were nowhere to be seen, I even looked under the bowl. It cost exactly $5 per sliver of swardfish. Cost $25!!!!! The waiter in a very flippant way said "I know, the menu doesn't say it is sashimi". No apology and no prior explanation at time of ordering. Huge disappointment when you were expecting a decent piece of fish. Friends and family were horrified, will definitely not recommend this restaurant to anyone!

  Lamb was cooked well past medium rare and chewy.

  Absolutely amazing. The place was very cosy and inviting, there was a great atmosphere. The food was over the top, couldn't get enough of it! Finally, the service was irreproachable. All in all, great experience, and even though a bit pricy, it was an amazing weekend treat and I will definitely return.
