I have been here three times as it is really what one might regard as fine dinning in the Area, but I find it a shame, a waste of it's potential, they have all the ingredients but hav'nt found the recipe.
Let me explain they have a lovely site with a relaxing a pleasant bush setting,they have a good reastaurant set up, a chef who cooks and who's food comes out looking good and tasting great, they have staff, so what's wrong?
If you follow my reviews you will know I refer to the VIBE of a place quite often, or you might think of it as the heart and soul, the personality. Ok we are not after the Hard Rock Cafe Vibe, who have attention to customer service and it all happening around you, not even Hogs Breath Vibe who to a lesser extent have busy parafanalia and service. But this place misses the mark on character, and a personality, something that after you leave you remember fondly, and keep a happy fun experience in mind, and this should be along with the good food and service.
It's not enough for such a place to rely on good food, it's remote and must have more to draw you back. That's what I miss, whilst I could write very good food, service good, you won't come away with a memory, a WoW that was great and fun. With this, when your talking about where would you like to go next time, this place would come to the fore.

Approximate cost: $$$$

I agree that elusive something is entirely missing. This business should be so popular that they have to turn people away

Revisited this restaurant but despite new management nothing much has changed. The setting is great but the food is only average whilst the cost is above average. What surprised me most is the slowness of service. On my previous visit the restaurant was busy so some allowances had to be made but on my last visit there were only two full tables and by the time the food arrived we were ready to 'eat the leg off' ours. Staff are pleasant but it is disappointing as we do not have much choice is this area for a better quality eating experience.
