It's all about the food for me. This is the second time I have been to this restaurant and it didn't disappoint. I left a second time wanting to go back a third time. Can't wait fir my next visit. Any excuse will do.

Food is very good. Surprised and disappointed at so many young people taking photos of dishes - seems to be a must do thing / Instragram must venue which spoils atmosphere for diners. Also music volume increased during the evening converting it to an atmosphere more like a bar than a restaurant. Service - lots of staff present but average service. Overall - good food but the experience was not to the standard I expected.

Average food, average service. Got kicked out even though we didn't finish our food. Was told they needed the table back for the next reservation but the table next to us was dirty. The table next to us was so close, you can hear their conversation and it was extremely noisy

The loss of your sommelier has let the restaurant down ... we asked for 2 glasses of Phillip Shaw Pinot noir and the girl returned about 15 minutes later with two glasses of Pinot Gris ... waiting so long and then wrong wine was annoying ... then waited another 5 minutes only to be told they had run out of Pinot Noir ... the food was great but the loss of the sommelier really let this hatted restaurant down ... no drama but not what you would expect in a hatted retaurant

Food, service, atmosphere, timing of how the food arrived was pretty good, just when you think your ready for the next one it came out. Never have to worry about calling for service cause they are always alert. Will come back.

I was neither wowed or disappointed. The food is nice and extremely interesting but for me the overall experience was let down with a poor ambience and being asked for a tip, when declined our eftpos receipt simply dropped on the table.

Food was great but we were constantly rushed by the waiters and consistantly reminded about the time restraint of our table, when clearly there were other empty tables by the time we finished, and we didn't see anyone waiting to use our table. In the end we only sat in the restaurant for 1 hour and 25 minutes then left, as we were told we had to move to the bar area if we wanted desert. Given it was my wife's birthday, it really wasn't a pleasant experience for an upscale establishment.
