    The food and service were amazing. We had the vodka pasta as an entree and it’s is plenty to share between 2 or even 3. We also had the scallops - oh my goodness. The chicken main dish was not our favourite but the eye filler and mash were the best I have had on the GC. You can not fault the wine selection or the service.

    We came to celebrate my partners birthday for the second year in a row and we had such a great experience. We enjoyed ourselves even more than last year and I’m not sure how that was possible. The food was absolutely amazing and the service was impeccable! Our waitress was so kind and made great recommendations and was super knowledgeable. Despite there being birthday’s on almost every table around us the staff still made an effort to celebrate my partner as well and sung happy birthday even with just the two of us. We came away will full bellies and hearts. Thank you so much for making my partners birthday so special!!!

    The service and food was fantastic. We ordered a selection of dishes to share and every meal was fresh and tasty. Service was attentive, friendly and quick. This is the second time I have eaten here and have been impressed both times.

    You cannot go through life with out experiencing this restaurant. The food is outstanding, fresh with mouth watering flavours I couldn't get enough of. The wait staff are excellent, very attentive & seemed to be always there when we needed them without hovering. Wine selection is great & perfectly accompanied the food.
