A hidden Hunter Valley gem. The food is full of flavour and well-presented. Dishes vary from truly spicy to very mild but all good that we tried. Good wine list as well.

The food was delicious and flavourful. I had the scallops on the half shell (could have been a tad hotter) and the prawn curry (amazing!). We did feel that the service was a bit lacking in that it was hard to grab someone's attention and the food didn't always come together. However, we understand and appreciate that some regional areas are still struggling with staffing so the few staff on duty did a good job overall
