    I am disappointed, especially after the marketing hype around the restaurant. The food was average, at best, and certainly not worth the prices charged. This is really disappointing given that the venue is lovely and the service was good.

    We were a bit upset to find that what pretends to be an upmarket and stylish restaurant is actually a sports bar. We arrived for a date night to find huge televisions blaring out a rugby game at massive volume while hoards of rugby fans cheered and howled around us. Management moved us to the outside area, fortunately it was a fine evening, but our evening only became pleasant once the game had finished and the sports fans had moved on. I think Pink Mama's must decide what it is - a restaurant or a rowdy pub. I understand that screening the rugby is a good way to get clientele over the threshold but it does change the nature of the offering.

    Beautiful restaurant, great service and delicious food. Would definitely recommend! We enjoyed the arancini and melanzane starters and the kingklip and calamari for main. All dishes were generous portions and beautifully prepared.
