For a set banquet costing $241, and with a booking secured in advance, this was very disappointing. It felt like the restaurant had clearly overbooked, as wait times seemed to be an issue across the board. There was very little effort made to manage or mediate the situation, and not even a complimentary drink was offered given the delay. The food itself was great — we genuinely can’t fault that — but the overall experience was overshadowed by the long wait and lack of acknowledgment. Hopefully next year numbers are capped more appropriately, as I imagine many guests would have left feeling just as dissatisfied due to too many bookings being taken for what the venue could realistically handle.

Foccacia bread starter superb, good serving size BBQ Octopus starter delicious , serving size for price was just acceptable Main course Duck beautifully cooked and seasoned Main course Beef cheek fantastically moist and melt in your mouth. Only real criticism, is that the mains come with absolutely no real accompaniment. You get the meat and some sauce, and NOTHING else. You are 100% obligated to order multiple sides in order to compile a total meal experience. Some of these sides I would deem to be quite expensive for what they are. If you are taking a main, plus 2 sides then you are looking at $70+ for a main meal . The food, service and ambience were nice. I would suggest from a budget perspective you are probably looking at $150 200 per head for a typical dinner for two dining night out, higher depending on your wine choices/
