Twenty five years of serving wonderful demanding, oyster sucking, heart wrenching patrons has left me completely compelled to seek ways of meeting those standards expected, we experiment daily to push our creative boundaries.

    Incredibly dissapointed in the food. The quality has gone down, and what I was served was terrible. The meat had so much grissle in it, the mash had zero salt, nor butter or any type of flavoring? The veggies were half cooked - some were still raw. For the amount you charge and what I got - it is so overpriced now. This used to be a great place, with good food - but now - it has gone down.

    We had a great time last Friday night, good food and warm ambience. My only issue was we booked a table, wen we arrived we were told someone else claimed the table so we had to have a drink at the bar while they sorted out a table for us.

    We had the Espedata on special and it was exceptionally good. The Chocolate Fondants were to die for

    Waiters were rushed and not attentive as a result. Restaurant was cold and dark at 6pm. Fire was not lit and gas heaters were only activated at 6.45pm Come on guys, its cold out there. tables need candles or some kind of light. I had difficulty reading the menu. I don't mind paying the price'if overall experience is good. Noise levels when full have become overpowering.
