Apart for waiting six minutes at the front for checking in, I can understand that with Covid check-ins etc. We were then taken to a lovely quiet spot...as requested in the restaurant corner, table number 52. That was the best part of our lunch. We waited 16 minutes until we were asked would you like some alcohol yes we replied . We ordered the organic Shiraz, another 15 minutes went by and I asked on two occasions could we please have our Shiraz. The reply was we are trying to find it. We were then told by your drinks Person that particular Shiraz was not available . We then ordered another bottle of Bishop Shiraz which came in an acceptable time of five minutes. Finally we had a drink to toast our 40th wedding anniversary. At 3pm we were starting to feel a little bit hungry so I asked our waiter for some bread. We were not offered. The Batard was the best part of our lunch. We decided we should order as there may be a delay on our meals arriving. I ordered Seafood linguini and my wife ordered risotto large main meal. These arrived in an acceptable time, the only problem was my seafood linguine was cold and felt like it had been sitting under hot lights for 15 minutes. This also lacked ingredients. For $55 I expected so much more. The meal was sent back and a nice hot dish of the same arrived 10 minutes later. This left my wife to eat her meal on her own. I must say I thought the kitchen got the order mixed up as the serve of risotto main was so small. A very poor experience
