Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"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."
"Great place for dates and personal events...food wise superb! Recommended sgt take their pizzas and try their soft shell crab..ughhh! So delicious! Did I mention the view? Picture perfect!"
"Delicious food. I love the pizza, peri peri chicken and also duck carbonara fettuccine .Good service and friendly staff."
"Delicious food Sticky lamb rib, really tender meat 8/10 Truffle mushroom pasta 8/10 , we expect more portobello or button mushroom but they gave more Chinese king trumpet mushroom. French onion soup- taste okay. 6/10"
"Delightful dinner. Service from staff was warm and welcoming. Kids enjoy their pasta and burger. The Sticky Toffee icecream was sinfully scrumptious. Tenderloin was just nice."
