My husband and I wanted something light to eat prior to going to a show. We ordered two entrees each and the dishes were absolutely stunning. Each one had the most beautiful flavours and served on the plate with such care and precision.

The food was great together with the experience. I was quoted and booked at $99 per head - considered a most reasonable and value for money. When the bill arrived it had an additional tax of $20. When questioned I was advised that this was GST. This was not stated on the confirmed booking. Most disappointing. GST has now been around for some 30 years and inspite of regulation, this tax is being used as a an add on. legislation states that prices must be quoted net of GST. An excellent dining experience left with a bad taste.
