Food was excellent, each course was amazing and one of the best restaurants if you’re looking for outstanding food. However beware if your group is an odd number - it seems the Monday night set menu caters for even numbers. We were a group of 5 and received the same portions as the table of 4 next to us. Also the seating was tight for 5 and designed for 4 comfortably. We mentioned to the waitress about portion size but the chef couldn’t accommodate our complaint.

A lovely restaurant was looking forward to returning however we were a little disappointed with the food. The entree of provolone cheese could have been warmer as could the prawn pasta.

Return diner - exceptional as always. Relaxed, but grown-up, funky feel. Best quality food on the Peninsula. Service from MacKenzie very attentive. Consistently reliable for a great meal out!
