The meals, location and table service were truly excellent, as expected. It would be unfair to single out any one dish or ingredient they were all wonderful.The signage to the parking and restaurant entrance could be better and were a little confusing for first timers.Our table service was excellent, friendly and informative but we did notice that one or two of the staff seemed to be showing signs of fatigue so hope that the current difficulties in the industry aren’t proving too hard for them.One negative was that we both noticed that the gentleman we took to be the manager had a brisk and unfriendly demeanour as he rushed around the restaurant without even making eye contact with most of the guests at any stage. He knocked my partner’s handbag as he hurried past without any attempt at apology. He, unlike the rest of the staff, did not make any effort to make us feel at all welcome and took the shine off our visit just a little. We hoped that he was kinder to his apparently stressed staff members.It was still an excellent meal and visit and would recommend to others.

Would have been a good meal except for the whole Snapper dish that was not eaten. it was a $52 court that spit out my wife with every mouthful of spuncles. so a shame because everything else was absolutely great. but cannot forgive the snapper. when we told the waiting staff, we got a “oh ok” and that was it. I would really recommend this place, they just don't have the snapper!
