5/10I'm not sure if their usual Chef is away but the food was mostly bland. The fish main had no flavour at all. The staff were ok but the person who greeted is seemed to be in a bad mood. It was a birthday lunch, so very disappointing.

6/10This restaurant was Ok. The service was a little slow and not very attentive. Empty plates left for some time. The food was again ok, nothing outstanding. I had tomato salad dish it did not have any flavour and the tomatoes were soft and flavour Less. I also had the lamb which was tough and chewy. However the atmosphere was nice.

4.5/10Beyond disappointing, couldn’t even eat the entree as it was raw and they still charged me for it. They said it was supposed to be raw chicken,

7/10Service was ok, the waiter kept on butting into our conversation, I wouldn’t mind if he tried to engage the whole table, but his conversations was directed to one person on the table and not the whole table. Either engage the whole table or don’t at all. Engaging one person on a table of 4 makes the rest of the table feel left out and not want to go back

7.5/10The restaurant was lovely and the staff very welcoming. Beautiful presentation and great service. Unfortunately the main I chose (gnocchi) was dry and starchy... Although disappointing I will return

9.5/10Absolutely delicious food (barramundi and duck were amazing), very generous portions and a lovely setting. The wait staff were thoughtful in offering advice to assist us in ordering the right amount of food. A great venue for a special birthday celebration last night and we'll certainly be making a return visit again soon.

9/10Such a beautiful restaurant with gorgeous ambience. The staff were fabulous which was refreshingly different in these times. I would definitely recommend. And have a drink in the roof top bar for starters.

10/10Great food, great service, great ambience! Just tricky to find a car park nearby. We tried a range of different snacks, entrees and mains and loved it all.

8/10Food was pretty decent. Just have an issue we asked for no chilli as my partner gets a rash from allergies but the meal came out still with chilli on top. I know it's a Vietnamese fusion restaurant but don't say you won't put chilli then put it on anyway. We just swapped what we ordered so wasn't the biggest deal just for next time please accommodate if you say you will.
