Amazing and innovative food - so delicious (without being over the top) Professional and friendly staff - who go out of their way to showcase the food that has been created and what they do I can understand why Vue de monde has 3 hats - it deserves them all!

We had a fabulous night celebrating my daughters uni graduation. Staff were so accommodating and we were able to relax and enjoy afternoon drinks outside before having dining inside. Food was excellent and wine list fantastic. Faultless experience. Can’t wait to come back!

I treated Mom to an great pasta lunch at Donnini’s, and wow, she loved it! She couldn’t get enough of the Grilled Local Calamari and the delicious Tri Di Pasta. Service was excellent and prices were very reasonable
