   The service and the atmosphere were amazing. The food was tasty, but the barramundi fish was too salty. I wanted an early Friday booking but had only 7 pm available, although the place was 80% empty that night. I warmly recommend this place.

   “We used to love this restaurant, but our recent visit was disappointing. The medium-rare steak was overdone, dry, and unpleasant to eat—never had to chew so much for a steak! The staff also seemed off, forgetting orders and not as attentive as usual. It’s clear there’s been a change and the head chef wasn’t there.”

   Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry your visit didn’t meet expectations. On that day, a team member from another section stepped in to help after a staff member called in sick. While we’re grateful for their support, we understand this may have impacted the level of attentiveness you’re used to. Regarding the steak, we apologise it wasn’t cooked to your liking and are reviewing our processes to ensure consistency. We value your loyalty and would love the chance to make it up to you. Please reach out so we can provide the exceptional experience you deserve.

   We had a very enjoyable evening, celebrating our anniversary and my birthday. Love the tapas menu. The surroundings are beautiful.

   Lovely restaurant for lunch with an unusual menu, our choices were really nice & we were encouraged to order one or two dishes to share. The service wasn't too speedy but the staff were very pleasant. Overall a very nice place although I would have preferred to not have a food kiosk right outside the door where coffees & other food can be bought from. There's a "buzzer" system for coffees which disturbed the peace of the seated restaurant area.

   Thank you for bringing this to our attention! We're glad you enjoyed your lunch selections :) We’re currently working on keeping the doors from the restaurant to the terrace locked to minimise any noise disturbances. Your feedback is valuable to us as we continue to make improvements to enhance our guests' experience. We hope to welcome you back soon for an even more peaceful dining atmosphere!

   Wonderful staff and service, a lovely setting. A bit overpriced so couldn't afford to go often, nice for special occasions and we travelled from the NSW border.

    We were a party of 6 adults and 4 children under 10. The service was warm, and efficient. Children were served quickly and given colouring pencils and picture to occupy them. Food was fresh and tasty and interesting.
