Menu is always interesting, very clever, beautifully executed presented, service warm and personal yet not intrusive. Some very interesting wine choices available, including smaller local Yarra Valley wines. Ambiance is lovely with subtle lighting and quiet music, tables well spaced beautifully set. Good car park behind restaurant. Has been a favourite for special occasions for over 10 years for us, always a treat!

We forgot to order the sides with the mains but the waitress didn't ask or remind us about the sides. When the mains was served and we realized that we did not order the sides, we thought it might be good to just ask for some extra bread. That bread never came. Also , there was 35-40 mins gap between the mains and dessert.
