    If you enjoy the slightly unusual with an Aussie influence then this is the restaurant for you - we really enjoyed the food, it was an unforgettable night The only two downers that don’t relate to the food were 1. We didn’t have any dedicated waiting staff so didn’t get to develop any repartee / relationship which often enhances the night. The sommelier young man was the exception and therefore great … we had little conversations with him during the wine selection times …. He was great - having said that there was lots of serving staff 2. in the past we had heard (and was looking forward) to going into a real garden to show some of the produce used so quite disappointing to be lead to an enclosed box out the back either lots of little standing tables for guests
