Excellent food, excellent friendly personable service (thanks Willow). The Angus steak was "fork tender" cooked exactly as requested...this rivals any steak anywhere. The potato side and salad were prepared perfectly with a unique presentation. The sliders were great, the potato balls with ham chunks were a pleasant out of the ordinary surprise. They have Wet Jacket wines...a very small vineyard with very limited distribution (it's the reason we chose to eat here). Price per person $90–100 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Ambiance was great but felt bit crowded. Went with friends and it was a great place to hang out. They had the really amazing drink menu which had wide range of Wine and cocktails, which was really impressive. They had good range of food to as the menu is based on sharing basis. If you are in small groups, would definitely suggest this place. Bookings recommended.

Booked on advance for a party of 8. What can I say...we had a wonderfully warm welcome and fantastic service from the girls. Attentive but not overbearing. My eye fillet steak was cooked to perfection..the best steak ever. Loved the porcine just and the hash brown chips and salad was delicious. Sticky date pudding was delicious...light and fluffy...and very more ish. Will be back...first time we have been Price per person $80–90 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

The food here was equally pretty and tasty. The dishes are creative and we even had a bowl of nuts mixed with grasshoppers which was interesting. The place looks great and we are so relaxed when were meeting in there. The service is excellent because the staff are friendly and all have smiles. The prices are great and there is an extensive list of quality wines available.

Great place! Amazing food! Good atmosphere! The girl we had waiting our table has a thing or two to learn for sure, we would have ordered a lot more had we been told the kitchen was closing before it actually closed given the chance. We were amazed by the amount of drinks and tapas on the menu and literally could have ordered everything. Food was just awesome! Will definitely be back. Price per person $100+ Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5

Food is good but I think it is a little bit overpriced - 4 squares of Halumi shouldn't really cost more that $10. However the chips in gravy are awesome and the ambiance is fantastic. Great selection of beer and wine. So - all in all - worthy of 4 stars but not suitable if you are on a budget.

We went for dinner on a Saturday night just before 7pm and were able to order Happy Hour cocktails at $8 each - they were so yum. Food was good too - the fried squid was done really well and really crispy. Salmon was amazing and also the Korean fried chicken was good. Staff was very friendly and helpful.
