Paid for (max) 6 person, 6 course banquet - with 8 guests. Food quality - Fair.. View - nice.. Decor - wonderful. Value - Extremely poor.. Service - Extremely poor

Of the 6 so called courses, 4 of them were entree's which were split between 2 and 3 guests

They did offer 3 mains, however each of them were at best 1/2 to 2/3 size of other mains we saw being served .

We asked for one of the two steamed rice to be replaced by a fried rice - (for which we were advised we had to pay an extra $12 - which I agreed to ) - only the one dish of Fried rice was served..(which was then taken off the bill.)

Table service was almost non existent...

With small servings of food and poor service - I felt is was outrageous that BYO was excluded for their "Voucher" banquets...

Full paying guests should be afforded BYO opportunity.

I cant remember having had a banquet meal of any cuisine from which I left still feeling hungry...

Far too many good value restaurants in Canberra to bother returning...

I ordered 3 dishs: pork ribs, mushrooms ( there were 4 varieties) and bok choi with rice. The double fried Chinese greens was the most interesting.

The pork ribs were very sweet, the mushrooms very salty and the bok choy neutral tasting but oily. But together with rice, it all worked and tasted nice. I would not think much of the taste as individual dishes.

The service was very prompt and the waitstaff pleasant and helpful. I liked my mojito, very fresh and nice. The cinnamon drink was not that great tasting for me, but there might be others who like it. It...
