I was so looking forward to eating here. Drove in from the city to make it before they closed, which according to this Google page that was updated recently stated they closed at 4pm for lunch. I think it’s very important to also mention that the kitchen closes two hours prior to that time. So in order to actually eat here at lunch time you must be in before 2pm!! You may sit and chat until 4pm comfortably but food must be ordered by 2pm. Upon walking in and being seated only for a drink as I wasn’t able to get anything else, all I could smell was vick’s vapor rub in the air or something similar to it. Perhaps this venue is more geared towards an older clientele with aches and pains that have been smothered with the medicinal cream. This is from observing the surrounding tables which were finishing their meals. As I sit here writing this, my chest has been cleared of any congestion if I had any due to the minty aroma. Overall two stars. One because my glass of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc was delish and the restaurant interior is clean, modern and aesthetically pleasing. Clearly the front of house was not happy to see or serve me but thankfully the bartender made it worthwhile and I enjoyed two lovely glasses of wine before heading back to the city. I truly wish I had the chance to try the food. So craving some pasta and seafood. If I ever make another trip near this neighbourhood I shall give it another...

Had a delicious lunch at Va Tutto on Sunday. They charge a pretty penny but if you’re after something a little bit fancy to spoil yourself and your loved ones this is the place.

We ordered: 🥖 Baby pepper filled with feta, served on garlic bruschetta, $7 per slice 🍤 Stir Fry Prawns, ginger, garlic with sugar snaps and macadamia nuts $49 🐟 Crumbed King George whiting fillets served with rocket salad $46 🫐 Pavlova with fresh cream and berries $19.50

The bruschetta was delicious but such a small serve of bread considering its $7 per slice. The stir fry prawns is my absolute favourite dish and I’ve come back twice now for it without wanting to try something else. It’s just so fresh, great mix of flavours and a good portion size. Crumbed whiting was enjoyed but seems like such a small serve for the price or at least with more sides to go with it. The dish that always brings me back is the Pavlova, it is a MUST TRY if you visit. It should be known as their signature dessert. Unfortunately it was over cooked this time, the base was hard to cut through and more chewy then it’s usual melt in the mouth experience but the wait staff were happy to pass on that feedback to the chefs and I’m sure I’ll still go for it again the next time I visit.

The wait staff were lovely, very professional and attentive throughout our lunch. They did sit everyone in one section of the restaurant which did make...
