My wife and I popped in here after hearing some good things. The setting was nice. The food was lovely and wine list not bad too, so it seemed to start off well. Starters were lovely, meatballs done two ways, super good. However after our mains arrived we felt a few things were off with staff and how they looked after us. It was like suddenly we had been served and that was it, job done. The floor manager (US accent) was simply walking past tables without checking on them. Section waiters or not, flagging staff for another wine was difficult and he was more interested in how he looked than helping anyone including us. It was clear staff were new but moreover, no one was smiling. Only the owner seemed be smiling and the rest looked like they didn't want to be there including the lady that seated us. So we did not order another wine and left. Super bad? No not all, just really frustrating cold service.

The worst thing (and we were maybe somewhat to blame) was the price of the Fiorentina steak. We were told of a special and went with it. We dine everywhere and have done for decades. No kids and tons of travel means we don't tend to worry about prices too much. So this was never about money. We figured from all our dinning experiences, any Fiorentina steak is at worst case, usually worst case is about $130 to $140 a kilo high end. More often cheaper. And nothing was said about the cost either when it was offered. So we asked for a Kilo of the two options. I heard my wife and she was clear. We were charged for a 1.1Kg but I can easily let that go. However, the price of this Fiorentina steak was $198!?? I had never in all my days experienced this. Only where it was Wagyu and specialty steak in high-end steak houses like Rockpool in Melbourne would you pay such a price. It was way outside anything on the menu. Infact had I known I would not have ordered it. Moreover, it was not anything special. Nice, but not anything to rave about. When we paid, I was so stunned at the price I did not show my wife for fear of making a scene. So I simply paid it and left. Clearly it was this price because the receipt shows this properly. So clearly it was a special of huge proportions that no one bothered to explain :-) You can see our bill in the images below.

So, we won't be back. Mainly for the lack of happiness.. it doesn't make you want to be there. But also for the lack of communication over an extreme priced dish compared to anything else on the menu. Lesson learned.
