Went here for a friend's birthday dinner. The food servings were tiny and lacked taste. I asked for my steak to be "well done" and it came out medium-well (still too pink for my liking) and there were no sides at all - basically just the steak on the plate.

My sister had the chicken parmagiana. I've never seen a chicken paramgiana presented the way it was. It was basically a crumbed chicken maryland coved with a tomato based sauce and cheese - yes, bone still intact. As mentioned, this is certainly different to any other chicken parma we've every seen.

On another note, we had one 8yo child dining with us who ordered off the children's menu. We asked if his meal could be delivered asap as it was starting to get late, others in the party were having entrées and he was hungry. The staff said that was fine, however they completely forgot to delivery his meal. It wasn't until all the adults had been served their main meals and the poor child still hadn't received anything that we had to call the waiter and ask where on earth his meal was.

We certainly will not be returning to this restaurant. We thought it was overpriced compared to the serving sizes and there are better restaurants within the Docklands precinct.

Approximate cost: $26.5-32

We went there on a Saturday night with two other couples (total 6 diners) and unfortunately we were very disappointed with the food and the value.

Myself and one friend ordered the scallop entree ($15) to share and were stunned to see the waiter bring out one plate with three scallops. We couldn't help but laugh at the idea that we each got to eat 1 and 1/2 scallops as our entree. We had told the waiter when we placed our order that we were going to share the scallops and I would have thought he could have mentioned the fact that it was a very small serve and perhaps we should order another dish.

For mains two of the men ordered steaks (@ $45) and were also very surprised when the plates arrived with just a steak on the plate and no other sides at all (ie vegetables etc). Again this is something the waiter should have mentioned when taking the order and asked if they wanted any vegetables. The two men then ordered two serves of vegetables to be brought out separately and were again disappointed when a single plate with chargrilled eggplant and zucchini was served. Another meal (lamb shanks) had to be sent back to the kitchen as it was drenched in oil.

All in all we spent over $320 in the restaurant and were very very disappointed in the lack of service, the value and the quality of food.

Approximate cost: $35

Love the pizza here. I was specifically craving something that wasn't on the menu, and Chef made it up for me. You can go over and have a chat to the pizza chef as that area is open.

Approximate cost: $15
