Great lunch at Margaret today. The food was beautiful - we tried a number of items on the menu and everything was lovely. The flavours were really on point and not overpowering. The seafood was amazing and cooked to perfection. Would highly recommend as a date location. We loved it and will definitely be back!

Wow, what a special meal. Every dish was delicious, and the pasta sauces really wowed me. I loved the sashimi starter, the rigatoni carbonara and the pappardelle we had. Best tiramisu we’ve tried thus far! Not a banana fan but still loved the banana caramel dessert. Super great ambience watching all the action in the kitchen from the bar too 🥰

Fabulous food. The lobster spring rolls and prawn dumplings were a standout. And the steamed perch was subtle and flavourful. We had great service too. Will definitely go back.
