    Great food and the staff are fantastic. Specifically booked downstairs to accomodate guests with disabilities, but on arrival was told our booking was upstairs. When we explained the situation, they quickly changed the arrangements. Probably a bit more expensive than it should be (worked out to be about $55 per person) but for an occasional dinner out would be ok. If prices were lower, it would definitely become a regular eating destination!

    The restaurant looks lovely. The food was great, the staff were very attentive and polite. The only down side was the cold coming in every time front door was opened. The staff were very apologetic and moved us twice until we got a table further away from the cold draught. If only there was a way of blocking the dining area from the entry, it would be perfect
