We traveled from rural NSW for my husbands 40th Birthday. The staff were unbelievable, so helpful, we had a cake delivered and stored in the cool room, one guest had food intolerances and they worked around that for us. Easily the best restaurant we’ve been to, and food was amazing! Everyone had an excellent night - thank you.
