Yes, this restaurant has been around for eons & yes, it has some discerning clientele.
But really - what is all the fuss about?
Crisp white linen, fairly ok decor (needs a bit of an update), ok service, and reasonable food. I expected alot more with the food but found it quite bland & certainly not exciting. It was expensive considering it was quite simply 'Mamas cooking'.
There are many better restaurants in the area & sadly I haven't been back. It was just ok.

Approximate cost: $15 - $45

This restaurant has been an old favourite for many years. The food is delicious and very reasonably priced. Its byo so grab a bottle at the Gladstone Hotel a couple of doors down. The only negative is that parking round there is always a bit of a headache.

Approximate cost: $25

Easily my favourite restaurant of all time this place is everything a restaurant should be and more. The food is universally fabulous & well worth a rap, but it is the service that takes it to the next level. Family owned & operated, visitors are made to feel like they have stepped into italy & met thir long lost relatives. The cliientele is testament to this with regulars making up the majority every night. Check this place out!

Approximate cost: $18
