Last Saturday night we had discount vouchers & decided to try the all you can eat ribs for a birthday dinner. Of 11 of us two were vegetarians. They were happy to swap the ribs for a vegetarian meal for them but it was all downhill from there. A salad with no tomato (allergy) came out with tomato, the vegetarian rissotto came out close to an hour after we had all finished our meals & had to be chased several times because of no feedback. Some of the ribs were cooked beautifully, some were very firm. The second lot they brought out was really fatty & too firm which put people off their meals. We were not asked if we wanted more drinks or dessert the entire night. We had to go looking for a waiter three times for drinks & the missing meal before one came back & assisted us (half an hour after we finished eating). Using discount vouchers we were prepared to spend on drinks & dessert but were not given the opportunity. We were offered no apology or compensation for the disgusting service.

We dined in for lunch on a very rainy day at the end of June using a Groupon voucher. Our waiter (the only one on that day) was very welcoming and obliging. The service, food and wine were excellent and we did not have to wait very long for each course to arrive.

Approximate cost: $pre paid voucher

This is a training restaurant but you wouldn't guess that if you didn't know. The staff can look a little nervous but you know they'll always try their best as they're being marked on it! Excellent value food and beautifully presented. Not an amazing atmosphere as tables are all close together in one large space. Also note, as it's a training restaurant it's only open Mon-Fri.
