I asked about butter three times, did not come for the whole meal. they have tried too many tables in, and there are them limited space as well as very loud overall it is very over price, it is too cramped, it is worth not to visit. I have given 2 stars, if possible I would have given 1.5

Smoked lamb was okay but very bland and uninteresting with no accompaniments except a blob of blackberry. Even the side of pumpkin had nothing to raise it above the ordinary. Will not be back as it seems the menu doesn’t change. Not in for more disappointment. Can cook better at home!

There were only two scallops served on a leek purée, barely two mouthfuls, however the flavour was nice. I really feel it would not have hurt to serve three scallops. My friend made a better choice of the smoked quail which had a good amount meat and he enjoyed it. For mains I chose the fish of the day which was barramundi. It was the smallest piece of fish I’ve ever seen, no more than 6cm square served on a bed of sliced apples which I found inedible as we’re the caramelised onions. Flavour was lovely except overcooked on the edges. My friend chose the smoked lamb rack. I’ve never seen only two cutlets served as a rack. My friend enjoyed it and it was perfectly cooked but he couldn’t taste any smokiness. We both had the same dessert caramelised apples accompanied by an interesting ricotta and marscapone mix. Lovely dessert but only two chunks of apple (a quarter cut crosswise), surely they could have served four chunks! I would not go back and couldn’t recommend it. At $75 per head, not good value.
