I am a bit disappointed that the additional chicken that I requested with my tagliatelle was dry and overcooked. I didn’t eat it and left it on the side of my plate. When the server collected the plate, I politely mentioned that it had been overcooked and perhaps she could pass that onto the kitchen. I didn’t make a fuss nor demand any change. However, I was disappointed that I was still charged the $12 for the added chicken. It would’ve been a small thing to subtract that from my bill, particularly since it was poorly prepared.

Our server was great and she mixed the cocktail I ordered perfectly. On her commendation, I ordered the chicken dish and my wife ordered the salmon. Both were excellent. The caramel desert was fantastic.

Great service and great ambience. Food was disappointing. Wild mushroom crostini sounded good but was totally soggy. Smoked pork chop had a very odd texture. Maybe we just picked items that weren't their best showing. Their signature pavlova looked good but didn't have it.

We had the chicken and salmon. Both were well cooked and tasty. Would have prefer less potatoes and perhaps a second vegetable to go with the carrots that could replace some of the potatoes. Would return again in the future.

I had the prime rib special and it was excellent! Just the way I like it and a large portion. My wife had the pasta with added shrimp and she enjoyed that as well. No room for dessert.
