The highlight of the menu is the 400 gram ribeye steak with garlic potatoes. It's a great deal for the price and the staff is excellent.

I ordered the pappardelle pasta in a main size portion, but was disappointed by the small serving. The plate was so small, it resembled a ladies' sun hat placed over the bowl to hold the food (see photo). Overall, the meal was more like a tapas size serving from a Spanish bar in Madrid rather than a proper main course. Despite this, the service from the staff was satisfactory.

Ordering the Pappardelle Pasta, main size, I was gob smacked by the size of this main menu dish. The plate, a bit like a ladies sun-hat turned upsidedown to hold the food, was the width of just 2 forks across the bowl for section that holds the food (see photo). This wasn't a mains size meal, nor was it an entree size meal - it was more like a Tappas sized serve from a Spainish bar in Madrid. Come on 'Builders' get it right - Good Food - Lousy Portions.

The venue was packed, so there were no tables available in the bistro. I went to the maitre d' to check for any available tables. While I waited, the maitre d' in the bistro told me to return to my party and took my phone number, saying she would call me once a table became available. It was only 15 minutes later when she informed me that a table was ready. She was so kind and made our night for us. Thank you, Jenny. Additionally, the staff in the bistro and the orders from the chefs were excellent. The food was delicious.
