From the moment we entered this restaurant , things werent good. Four people seated in restaurant already, and we went up to counter to find out about a table , waited , waited, and waited some more, girl entered and went out back to kitchen, didnt acknowledge us and we waited some more, close to 10 minutes before a man came out and served us. We asked for table for 2, and it seemed a effort to fit us in, (we thought they may have been booked out, but no sign of reservations). When we ordered main course , he said "no entrees " rather rudely. We ordered Atlantic Salmon and the Asian stew which were very tasty and nice and hot, a little pricey I think. And then had sweets. The surprise was to come when we went to pay, he would not except our gift voucher (which is actually cash) and the voucher out of the entertainment booklet together as he said he wouldnt make enough money out of us. as we hadn't spent enough. So he's happy to sell you gift vouchers ( and get your money) but when you come to use it , its a different thing. When I went back to challenge him , he said come back and use my entertainment voucher another day. So I spend more money there. Not likely with that attitude. And after all this no more people had come into fill his tables. I wonder why. Rude, Rude, Rude.

Consistently good meals, with excellent steaks cooked to perfection. Comfortable low-lit ambience and attentive staff. Certainly amongst the best dining experiences on offer in Ballarat.

Approximate cost: $30

I ordered a steak, and was way undercooked, but the chef (owner as well i'm guessing) came out and apoligized. They have us a free drink. So good customer service in that respect. The rest of the food was really nice. Would probably go again, maybe not get the steak as a, sick of no one knowing how to cook a Medium/Well Steak. (Not just this place, most restaurants I go to)

Food was pretty good, service was terrible, and very expensive for what it was. Was really looking forward to it, as it has such a great name, however it was very disappointing

Approximate cost: $40

We recently had a farewell dinner at Harry Limes, and found it extremely comfortable, with good food and great service. Some limitation to gluten free food available, but great food nonetheless. Decreased wine variety.

Had a very enjoyable night here, with a large crowd. This may perhaps explain the perplexity of the waitress, who seemed to have some difficulties coping with a large group, and the fact that the calamari was not as I expected, although still pleasant. Good wine list.

An intimate venue that provided a perfect place for a dinner for two. My food intolerances were easily catered for, without any fuss. Lovely! The service was professional and we didn't have to wait to be attended to. Meeting the chef was a thrill, what a character!

Went to dinner here in a group of 18 last night. From start to finish the service was fantastic, lots of choices, the glass never empty for long before being offered another, and the food was fantastic. I had a cajun barramundi with garlic mash and avocado and mango salsa, which was absolutely delicious. Everyone's meals looked delicious, the menu is seasonal and the service is smooth and efficient, without even noticing - which is the best kind. Sensational hot chocolate to put the icing on the cake.
