Date night, wanted to try here forever. Straight to table on arrival. Stayed with olives and a wonderful salumi plate. Lots of slices of meat well presented. Then we shared the duck dish and a prawn and mushroom pasta. Excellent flavours in both. A bottle of reasonably Sav Blanc and we were happy campers

Dirty plates, one fantastic dish and one dud. Very long wait between entrees and mains up to 45 minutes. I would have ordered dessert but I was afraid of waiting another 45 minutes. Good food but inconsistent service and quality between dishes.

The service was fantastic and the meal was delicious. All dishes we had were great. Some of the dishes on the menu were not available which was disappointing. Overall an amazing venue with equally amazing staff.
