    The gentleman who greeted us at the door was friendly and polite. The wait staff were lovely and very efficient... especially the lovely Alyssa who suggested the vegetarian pasta which she had herself enjoyed and she was right .. It was very very "moreish". The barramundi, lamb pasta and duck rigatoni were also very very delicious.. We were on a timetable as we were booked to see a show, we had two courses and drinks in plenty of time to get to our seats. Definitely would come back again..

    I was so impressed with our hostess, there was a staff member off and she managed on her own, making sure everything ran smoothly and were made to feel welcome. There were a few glitches, no fault of hers, and she handled them in a caring and professional manner. Glitches can happen, it's how they're dealt with that matters and the whole group was impressed. I would also like to say how impressed I was with a phone call, prior to the day, to see if any of our party had mobility issues as the lift was out of service. This is exceptional service and certainly made our day a lot easier and comfortable. Another shout out to the concierge staff on the day, they also went above and beyond. Thank you
