Had two entrees which was sufficient and dessert, of course.
Will call again.
Eastern suburbs – try your local cafes.
Saves driving into the city.

They change the menu regularly to keep it interesting and their philosophy of using fresh and local ingredients is always evident. Everything is always cooked perfectly. I have never had a bad meal yet and we eat there at least once or twice a month (evening service).
For the purpose of providing a balanced review, I must mention the only thing I can think of that is a tiny negative: The wine list could be longer and possibly a tad more sophisticated, although the wines they do keep are generally good.
Dave is a culinary wizard, and Valentina runs an amazing business – great team and great restaurant. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good night out in the suburbs.
The entrees of which I had clams were cooked perfectly and the others were just as tantalising.
The main courses were cooked to perfection but the most outstanding part of the evening was the service.
I will not go into what we had to eat as it was beautiful but the service was just as outstanding.
It is difficult to cook good food but is more difficult to find good people to present it and make your customers feel good while being there and this restaurant does just that, food and staff wise.
The highest rating, for a restaurant that deserves nothing less.
Go and you will certainly not be dissapointed.
Did you eat at this restaurant? Have an opinion to share?
For $18.50……I was astonished!
Is this price reflective of the clientele they imaging being a captive market out here in “Wellywood”??
Not happy with it at all. No sides, no flavour & no imagination. Zany Zeus ricotta and goat’s cheese fritter Was bland. Spiced beetroot was weak. Hummus and toasted walnuts (Minuscule amount) in a sesame seed bun, with onion rings and hand-cut truffled fries (3 on the plate!?)
The Eastern Suburbs are being taken for a ride!
