The wedge salad was a wonderful mix of sweet and salty, the prawn cocktail was perfectly done with a spicy dipping sauce and the served bread was warm and delicious. The service from all people working there was professional and accommodating. The view of the city was beautiful. I will make this restaurant a "must do" on my next visit.

Food was great but disappointed that we weren't seated outside as we had made the reservation days ahead and phoned the morning of to request this. read more Food was great but disappointed that we weren't seated outside as we had made the reservation days ahead and phoned the morning of to request this.

They do have a beautiful play grotto for little ones well stocked with natural toys such as sticks and pine cones as well as pots and strainers. My kids had a GREAT time and it allowed the adults to enjoy our conversations. The service was a bit slow and cold. We were sitting on the patio during a not so busy time and expected that the service would be more attentive since we were a large party. Overall, I would go back again for the option of letting my kids explore the play area but would certainly order some different dishes and wish for more friendly and prompt service.
