"Excellent meal all around. The Smoked Duck Carbonara was rich and well balanced with a good kick of black pepper. The Truffle Mushroom Pizza had great depth, and the Margherita was fresh and clean with a crisp sourdough base. The Lamb Shortloin was tender with a bright yogurt mint sauce. The Steak Au Poivre was juicy, packed with flavour, and paired perfectly with fries and pepper cream sauce. Would gladly come back for these."

"Our daughter brought us here to celebrate our 32nd anniversary. The food is really good. View isn’t that great as major construction is going on outside but it’s good enough in the restaurant itself."

"After so many years, still a clean well kept restaurant with food offerings that commensurate with the prices. Worth going for an occasion. Their mushroom n brocolini sides though are slightly undercooked. Sadly no photos this time. Ate too quickly and a half empty plate makes everything look sad."
