The corn ribs are tasty! The rest of the meal just felt like it was lacking some taste and oomph. After ordering a couple of entrees/small plates, we were asked if we wanted dessert as the kitchen was closing at 830pm for hot food. Not exactly great for a lovely meal out! We felt very rushed. Our waiter asked the chef nicely and we did get a small plate of eggplant sent out. One of the two desserts they had was off, leaving a pannacotta that wasn’t really creamy of sweet enough. So basically we had a small plate of sashimi kingfish split between us for main course that was delicious but tiny. Certainly not memorable food at all. Service was ok, one waitress in particular with a plait and dark hair was good fun and lovely! Lovely location and great view but I feel this place isn’t living up to its potential and could improve on many fronts. Cocktails were delicious and I do recommend the tiki cocktail with smoked mango! Would go back if the food improves, otherwise it’s fairly expensive for underwhelming food.

Stunning setting looking out at eastern end of Jamison valley. Relaxed atmosphere and good service, a small but distinctive and high-quality menu with an excellent wine list.
