The Sicilian Forster

Really nice place, great decor. We arrived with no booking, staff member not impressed we had no booking, but it was fairly empty. Table service was a bit slow, and my kids really wanted chocolate sauce on their ice creams which they said they couldn't do. Their ice creams arrived with pink sauce, so neither kids touched it. However my iced chocolate arrived with chocolate sauce.... so no idea why it was a hassle. Anyway despite these 2 strange happenings, we really enjoyed the place and the view, and the food was nice.

The food was absolutely delicious and the atmosphere fitted the Italian theme perfectly. The staff were fairly respectful despite a the few minor issues. Overall great place to eat.

Coming from an italian family you definitely know what true italian food is So where an Italian restaurant states it is That's a good start but Unfortunately this is not true authentic italian food it's stated on there Web page Not a italian in sight From the kitchen to the front staff Which is fine but please don't state authentic Italian food on yr Web page it not. It was disappointing after reading all the Great reviews saying the best italian food Nothing about any of the food was authentic italian Reading the menu it sounds good but it was just not Entrée Chilli Garlic king prawns in red tomatoe sauce No Chilli, no garlic, and have no idea what A small boiled potato was doing in the middle Of the dish. There was a very small piece of bread on the side. 2nd Entrée Sicilian mussels, were ok again the sauce was Average As we only had the option of the lunch menu and there Was only a small portion of italian dishes And being disappointed in the first 2 dishes We had decided that whatever else we ordered was It's not going to be authentic italian food So main was Battered burramundi with salad and chips Fish batter was crisp and hot and tasty 2nd Salt and pepper calamari These were big round pieces of Soft rubber, definitely not a winner Lunch was finished with an espresso coffee and lemon tart The lemon tart was delicious and store bought but delicious. It's disappointing to find it's not an authentic italian restaurant But a restaurant trying to be italian Service is slow and staff look they don't want to be there. Was asked how was everything? She didn't even wait to hear my answer but just read out our bill, I said wow you didn't even hear what I said, her reply was oh yes I did.
