The only downside was the rather average wine list; this exquisite food deserves a better selection. With excellent service and very reasonable prices for the quality offered, I can confidently say this has been the best dinner I've had in a long time. Unfortunately, I live too far away to visit regularly, but I will definitely return here on my holidays. **Service:** Dine in **Meal Type:** Dinner **Price per Person:** A$60–80 **Food Rating:** 4 **Service Rating:** 4 **Atmosphere Rating:** 4 **Recommended Dishes:** Truffled Gnocchi with Wild Mushrooms and Macadamia

In all honesty, after looking at some of the reviews my expectations were not high. How wrong I was. The accommodations and premises are freshly painted and decorated. Think: Palm Springs mid century modern. Clean, bright and fresh. Our dinner started with a classic gin and tonic and a Margarita that could best be described as outstanding. Though oysters were not available tonight we chose Truffled gnocchi with macadamias and wild mushrooms, and a light and tasty calamari enhanced with finely sliced chili. Mains were pan fried duck fillet with an orange and fennel salad and a side of fuffy, salty chat potatoes. We finishes we a cheese plate for two with 3 generous pieces of blue, brie and cheddar wirh dried apricots and raisins. How would I rate it? Honesty. This is country town. If you're expecting a capital city experience, stay with what you know. The staff were attentive, one or two took pride in what they were doing and an interest in their customers. I liked it. I would come back again, and hope Negroni is on the cocktail list.
