Very friendly, really lovely staff, fabulous dinning room so good. Entrees were ok, Arancini were a little salty, Squid a little limp not really crisp enough therefore oily, again salty. Chicken lovely although again very salty, spare ribs, not so great, we wondered if the marinade was out of a packet..not the best again over seasoned. Pork Belly was presented beautifully, however soooo salty we couldnt eat it, the vegetabes were cold , possibly too much time on presentation...such a shame as everything looked amazing however the taste test let them all down. Chef is far too heavy handed with the salt, remember seasoning is you servant not your master, you can alwas add it at the table but once in the food you cannot remove it. Not sure if the rubs, marinades etc are made from scratch or brought in...often packet stuff is over seadoned and then if you add more it is just not nice. We will come back and give it another go, but will choose differently. The staff are fabulous, toilets were clean...a little pricey at the till but the cost of fresh veges and running a restaurant is not cheap today...so all and all not over the top if one could...

We waited over half an hour for 2 x weak, lukewarm coffee's - when it arrived, the Manageress blamed the delay on the young waitress, telling us she is s-l-o-w! . No-one came back to take our breakfast order, so I placed it at the bar. The breakfast never arrived. The restaurant was not busy and they were only serving one menu item, this happened because the staff were drunk. The Manageress was on the Mimosa's and sitting with her friends in the restaurant. When she heard us talking to the owner as we were paying, she realized she had forgotten to put our order through and said "sorry for the sh-- service". The owner said he would address this but he was drunk too! The young staff member was making coffee's, running food and working the bar, while the senior staff got drunk. I hope she goes and works somewhere she's...
