Another fabulous meal thanks to the creative genius of Neil Perry! Exquisite food that was perfectly crafted by the stellar team of chefs at Songbird. Ambiance was warm and inviting, held in balance by Valentina who looked after us for lunch. It was truly an one for the ages - thankyou

What a fantastic restaurant! The food was outstanding as was the service. Staff were so friendly and accommodating. When one of the sides was delayed it was offerred to us as complimentary. Sitting at the bar was so much fun. We could watch all the activities in the kitchen area and had instant access to staff if we needed to request anything. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone after great food and service.
