The food was nice, nothing out of the ordinary though. The service was virtually nonexistent other than taking our order and bringing our meal. When we went to leave we waited at the counter for 10 minutes then when no one came we had to hunt someone out to pay the bill.

Overall a nice night. Table location could have been better (we were in a corner near an exit), but maybe we booked too late (?) Food was very nice, service was very attentive.

Overall great food but maybe our waiter needs to check every one has there meals as one meal was forgotten. It’s also hot inside - all meals cooked well and all happy at the end of the night!

Beautiful place, friendly staff, lovely menu. Our seat was under the kitchen window so next time I would prefer one of the other beautiful tables by the window however there were two of us and there weren’t too many single tables so I understood. Didn’t take away from the experience. The calamari entree was to die for

We ordered steak with mushroom cream sauce and steak was average. Sauce was sour and we told waitress. Waitress went to kitchen and asked chef and she came back and she said yes chef did admit it was bit sour when he tasted... ahe asked if we want new sauce but we have eaten already. At least they could have done was to take the cost of sauce off the bill... food is not expensive but quality is what you pay for I think...

We had the $69 dinner special with LOTS of seafood. It looked amazing but the barramundi in the Tahi and the cheesecake dessert were not what I expected. However the wine (rose), garlic bread, scallops, prawns and salad were great.

When booking I advised it was for our wedding anniversary. They put us at a table with the brightest lights in the middle of all the tables. Felt like we had a spotlight on us. Most restaurants usually book you a corner table for an anniversary and definitely not in the brightest light. We asked to move and luckily moved to a more intimate table without the bright light. Service is very slow. Our waiter was nice but clearly overloaded. We only had one drink each. Would have ordered more but no one comes to the table to take any orders. If you order a set menu they literally just bring it all out and no extra service. No one asks how your meal is either. My scallops were extremely slimy. I could anymore of them, and the starter tasted like the main main meal as well. Thought the seafood would be really good but was a let down. The steak however was absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection. Both desserts were also delicious. Usually they write happy anniversary or have some kind of acknowledgement at any restaurant I’ve been to however they did nothing whatsoever, so not sure why I even mentioned it was our wedding Anniversary when booking. The restaurant itself is beautiful but service and food needs some attention.

It’s a bit fish bowl feeling inside, the service staff were good, but never topped up our wine. The Thai salad I had was disappointing ( cucumber, avocado, lettuce, tomato, and vinaigrette.... doesn’t not make Thai salad! The octopus was perfect. Ceviche was too runny, but presented well. Oysters were fresh and cold.

We had a lovely relaxing evening to celebrate the end of the school year. The food was delicious and mostly reasonably priced. Friendly, attentive staff who went out of their way to fulfil our culinary wishes. The barramundi and vegetables which I had was amazing and the bread was warm and perfectly presented. It was very busy and we did have to wait quite a while for our meal but it was fine. Thank you for a great evening!
