Very ordinary, nothing fancy. Not exactly we expected. Senior staff member was rude not very nice. We won't come back to the place.

Ordinary experience really overall, nothing to write home about. Food was adequate but not outstanding as suggested by some professional food critics in recent write ups of this place (although I notice all of them are on a first name basis with the proprietors so hardly unbiased write ups). My wife had the Ribs n Bugs which she thought was mediorce at best and I had the King George Whiting in batter with some odd hand made round chips both of which were quite oily, greasy and sickly by the end.

The caramelised Apple Tart that we shared was very good though. A saving grace was the extensive well planned wine list containing some good aged offerings and half bottles of French Champagne.

Other than the intriguing foyer and ice bar, the setting really only has 1 thing going for it being an elevated view of the leafy plane trees on the footpath outside but across the road is only an ugly vacant block (the still undeveloped former le cornu site).

The carpeted floor has massively squeaky floor boards underneath almost drowning our conversation if a group of people walk in (I noticed all of the staff tip toe around as if on egg shells to avoid the floor creaking noises. It appears they can't employ anyone weighing over 75 kg for this reason).

Service was polite and helpful by the majority of staff, however, when we arrived a senior staff member flippantly hand gestured towards our seating and then walked off without seating us properly and at the end of the night sat at a table near us rudely talking to some aquaintances in a loud voice for a good 45m. We weren't impressed.

Needless to say there is nothing here drawing us to come back at all.
