Excellent food and service as ever. We relished mainly seafood and vegies - the oysters, tuna and watermelon, stracciatella, zucchini flowers, grilled sourdough and berry sorbet all superb. Both of us unable to drink your great wine last night and so we resorted to Grandma's hands, which we gather uses pomegranate based Grenadine.

We sat outside looking towards the lake and the High Court building. Was a bit warm but sheltered from the sun. Food was served promptly and was very good.
