We had a late lunch here on the afternoon of New Year's Eve, 2011. The sun had finally come out after a few very wet and cold days so we were happy so we were in the mood for some yummy Italian. We more or less had to beg someone to serve us. They were all busy pottering around, even...

Sitting outside with the splendid view and watching the world go by is a pleasant way to relax. Their menu is a little bit different, with dishes ranging in price.

The squid ink risotto with scallops delighted us from taste to presentation to size to color balance to retaining heat. The rocket salad was the perfect starter. And, the service was spot on. Our water was...

We were looking for a "fine dining" experience for a special birthday treat and this place came highly recommended by a local. Sadly we found it to be a very disappointing experience. The open fire in the entrance foyer smoked all night sending smoke through to where we seated making our eyes water. The food was over cooked and when...
