    Went for the lamb shank and shiraz special - simply perfect, tasty, well presented and delicious. Dining parter had line fish paired with a sav blanc. Seemed like a function happening in the main restaurant area - so placed in the back - had we known may have gone elsewhere, hence low ambiance rating. Ask on the booking to be in the main restaurant - Good ambiance is half the reason for dining out. Ill be back in summer for the patio seating on church.
