Sorry to say that I wasn't as impressed with this restaurant as I thought I would be. We have eaten nearby several times and had been meaning to try this restaurant for a while but were quite let down. I just felt the meal lacked flavour, it was too bland, didn't have enough spices or chilli. I also didn't really like the atmosphere. I've seen really good reviews for it before so I may try again

Oh what yummy breads and pasteries you can get from here. I tried it out when I was doing a meditation course around the corner, it looks like any other bakery but the quality is certainly better. If it was closer to home I would go back. I had a yummy pie for lunch, it was crunchy on the outside not like some where it's a bit soggy

Approximate cost: $4.60

Staff were lovely, very Italian (ie greet you in Italian etc), friendly. Best service. Meals were pricey and small portion sizes but the flavours were lovely and in my opinion worth it. My husband had to osso bucco which was a bit dissapointing. I had quail and it was lovely, brother had calamari stuffed with rice which was also lovely. They didn't have the bottle in wine we ordered but the alternative was still nice. I guess presentation could have been improved a little but like I said the taste was lovely. We dined at 6.30pm and there was only 1 other couple, we wondered why it was so quite but by 7.30pm the place was full. We used entertainment voucher which saved us over $30 so even more worth it. We will certainly be dining here again, I guess my best advice is don't go here if you want a cheap meal but do go here if you want a tasty meal and are willing to pay for it

Approximate cost: $40

I don't go here often but whenever I do, I always get the lamb shank on mash potato as I absolutely LOVE it. You get 2 shanks which is too much for me so I take one home for lunch the next day. Slow cooked for perfection, falling off the bone. My husband normally gets a different meal each time and doesn't complain. Seats could be more comfortable but that's minor

I think it may depend when you go here on the quality and the service you get. I have been before and was quite impressed, the last time I went it was busier and service was crappier. Our food was cold (the chips were cold), it took too long to come out and it was hard to find a table, the table we did find hadn't been cleaned and asking someone to clean it was like asking them to pull their eye-ball out. I have given average stars as my other experience was much better, I would give them another go but maybe for a lunch or not on a weekend night - it can get very rowdy, very quickly.

Went here for a dinner with a group, liked it because of the variety which is important with a big group as people like different things. There are lots of cuisine types from Western to Asian so really it caters for everyone. It's much nicer now that it's been refurbished and the staff are lovely, you can ask about ingredients in food and they can assist with that (ie someone in our group had allergies). The cost is quite reasonable considering you can help yourself to whatever you like, go there hungry :)

Approximate cost: $65

Yummy food at a great location, I don't eat seafood so was a bit worried going here but the others I was with loved seafood. There were a few alternatives for me so despite their main foods being seafood you can still get alternatives. It was nice to sit in the outside area, the sails were down because of wind but was still a nice view and it kept the birds away. It wasn't as busy as we thought it would be for a Sunday

I can't comment much on the value for money as we went here for a work function but the quality of the food was great. Looking around I'd say the prices would be on the expensive side but don't quote me. Service was good but like I said, it was a work function so they were getting big $$ and we probably got a bit of special treatment. My husband and I do plan on going back for a special evening.

I like this little local Italian place. To describe it I'd say it's not fancy food but it's cheap and cheerful food that will fill you up. The meals are a decent size and I think the value for money is great,it's more for families than for say a romantic dinner with your partner. I don't mean it in a bad way as I really like this place

I have only eaten here once and found it to be one of the most expensive pubs around for it's location, it's got nothing around it but dirt and dog kennels - I don't get the cost as normally costs reflect location. Anyway the food was still nice, $10 less per meal and it would have been great value for money. The farmstyle of the place is pretty cool, nice out on the balcony etc but yeah I wouldn't take my family here, it'd cost way too much
