Had heard very good reviews of this restaurant but didn't quite live up to my expectations or my partners. She had the signature Seafood lasagne dish and I had the special fish of the day and mine lacked in any flavour - we were both a little disappointed. Maybe it was a bad night - it was a Sunday night?

The tortellini with wagyu cheek under gorgonzola sauce was almost too rich! Next time its the entree serving to leave room for one of the good looking desserts. More

Food was average to poor, nothing interesting & for the price really not worth it - go elsewhere as the prices were high. The venue is quite nice, but they are renovating in front of it so the nice river view is mostly blocked. Service was okay. Go to Customs House nearby for similar prices & a superb experience &...

Loved the Crab Lasagne. Timing between meals was just perfect. Never had to wait longer than 15-20mins. Shannon was a true professional waitstaff. Very professional, attention to detail, well presented and didn't interrupt our converstaion. All waitstaff looked very well presented and professional. Never stood around waiting, all staff were always doing something. Only negative is that I thought the... More

I have been lucky enough to have eated here several times, and every single time I walk away absolutely blown away at how good the food is. Their famous Sandcrab Lasagne must get a mention, as it is simple stunning. Do yourself a favour and get to this restaurant, and get the sandcrab lasagne. More

My partner had the duck breast and I had the Famous sand crab lasagne. I must say that overall we were both disappointed. The duck breast was well cooked, but for $42 you would expect something superior to the run-of-the-mill plate we received. The 1/2 serve of sand crab lasange was certainly remarkable and unique, but it was the only... More

Attended a private function- limited menu still provided a broad selection to suit most palates. The crab lasagne did not disappoint...the duck risotto was perfection on a plate! Steak cooked rare as ordered!?! Chicken breast rare and tender...... Wines were cleverly chosen and service was outstanding!! Loved it- really did. X More
