This restaurant is a treasure trove of culinary delights, offering a varied menu from grilled specialties to seafood, pastas, and pizzas, not to mention an impressive wine list.

Dining here was a delight. The rooftop setting offered a refreshing respite from the day's heat, accompanied by a serene breeze. The staff were a highlight—welcoming, attentive, and insightful about the menu options, contributing to a seamless dining experience. The Zambartas wine was a personal favorite, having had a memorable experience at their winery previously.

The variety of dishes, including prawns, mussels, and an array of starters, accommodated everyone’s preferences, even those with more selective tastes. The generous portions of the mixed grill left little room for sides, and each dish, from the lamb chops to the seabass, was a hit.

While every dish was well-received, the Carbonara packed a garlic punch, amusingly noted as “garlic for days” by my sister, highlighting the restaurant’s bold flavors. It’s clear that each dish is crafted from carefully selected, fresh ingredients, showcasing their commitment to quality.

Was looking forward to eating here but there is significant issues with food and drink quality!

Extremely busy- suggested booking as the proprietor was send people away who did book.

Inside- 1st flooor- massive area for dining.

Extensive menu.Unfortunately the food was below par.

The mixto Frito was mixed sea food of prawns, scallops, anchovies and squid- I imagine out of a frozen bag that was overbattered and fried- was terrible dish. The scallop was the worse part in the dish as it was so chewy we had to spit it out.

The steak Diane was ok- the meat was cooked to right level as suggest medium rare but the Diane sauce spoilt the dish as it was made with tomatoes or it had tomatoes in it which changed the taste of the sauce, chips underdone so was limp.

The calamari was the better dish- perhaps overdone in the a grill as had a significant coal taste. The chips same issue with the steak.

Food was generally under salted.

Strawberries margarita tasted of fake strawberries. Was very average as was the cosmopolitan.

Was appalled when we ordered white and red wine by the glass- It arrived in a screw cap small bottles of 187ml which is similar to that on flights. Both terrible options of wine. Highly disappointed by the poor tasting wine and cocktail offerings.

Tiramisu for desert was good.

Service was good -the Asian lady was good/ efficient but the other were slow and would walk pass without taking orders etc.

A very disappointing meal in terms of...
