    Everything was perfect. I had even requested seating by the window in a quiet spot. It was, however, cold, so providing blankets would be a great solution.

    Enjoyed the Dine Around Menu and had a great suggestion for a bottle of wine to go with our meal. Can’t beat the view and we were in a quiet corner of the restaurant overlooking the inner harbour

    My friend enjoyed her meal. I had the 3-cheese ravioli (VO), not great - too many peppers and they weren't cooked thoroughly. The sauce was not good, it would be much better with a cream sauce. Service was very good. I would not order this meal again.

    Great service and food was very good. One very small exception the scallop arugula risotto had a pool of oil in the bottom that was not appealing to the diner. No complaint was made to the server as it wasn’t a huge concern. All in all the dinner was very good with beautiful night views of the harbour lights. Thank you!
