I personally had a terrible time here. The staff kept looking over our shoulders (not so discretely!) which made me very uncomfortable. Despite booking a highchair, there wasn't one at the table and the staff member who led us to the table walked off promptly without offerring us one (we were carrying a toddler!). She left so quickly she didn't hear me ask for one.
The menu was quite dull in my opinion. Very little took my fancy besides the steaks which unfortunately were served on a hot rock so you could cook it yourself. I know some love that but personally I'd like someone else to be responsible for cooking my steak - that's why I eat out.
I assume others feel similarly because despite it being a Saturday night, the restaurant was near empty.
I won't be going back there again. I'll save my money for good service and a good menu.
Prices were reasonable though.

This restaurant replaced Sofia which served similar food, pasta, pizza etc. Very large open restaurant which is great for catering for large groups. Because it's such a large restaurant, often you'd be able to get away without making a booking in advance.

I've been to Sofia before and expected the quality of food to be relatively similar but it was actually better in terms of both flavour and quality. I do however miss the Sofia fruit cup!

Approximate cost: $18
