And the fish curry (barramundi?) was again, the result of skilled perfection. The food is exactly WHY we are happy to pay for food, the way it is supposed to be cooked - by people who know what they are doing! Thankyou.

Very friendly and polite, our orders were taken quickly and timely considering we were ‘pre theatre’. Food was great, some dishes shared and some individual, and all coming at the appropriate time. Still had time for a good coffee, then off to our theatre date.

Smart service understanding of ti.e constraints. Excellent food - we enjoyed the crispy eggplant, the roast chicken and the fish curry. Perfect for 3 and all delicious. Wine and coffee and out in time to take our seats for the show.
