The food was very uninspiring, it lacked originality and intensity in flavour. My bland cannelloni was drowned in unseasoned tomato sauce, the king prawns in white sauce were nice but unremarkable, and the garlic pizza was no different from generic take away pizza. The tapenades that came with the garlic pizza tasted as though they come from a jar.

It's not that the food was bad it's just that the price of the food didn't match the quality. There was nothing unique about the menu, it could really be improved by adding some dishes like rabbit ravioli in a burnt butter sauce with sage.

It felt as though they haven't developed a clear idea of what the restaurants identity and character is. They are charging upmarket prices with excellent service but the food is unmemorable, there is paper over the tablecloths and fake candles. It’s a very odd middle ground.

Highly recommend this place. I have eaten here several times now and have never had a bad experience. The service is exceptional and the food is amazing. The meals are quite big in size and it is great value for money. The owners and staff are extremely friendly. We have now taken our friends here and they feel highly about it also.

Has dined in this Resto many times now and always get a good full meal with excellent food. A bit too pricey but worth it. Maybe develop more effort in service as the last time we went there the lady wasn't very friendly. Food wise yes will definitely come back.

Have dined at this restaurant many times in the past and always enjoyed the whole dining experience. Last night I thought I would try one of the specials which was a seafood plate. I was disappointed to say the least, the oysters, mussels, barramundi, balmain bug, atlantic salmon were all nice but for $45 I walked away hungry.

As for the fat chips (I think there were 4 on the plate) they were fatty and oily! I advised the waitress about the meal and she said she would let the chef know and that was it.

We went there for dinner last week. The food was great , we had seen some reviews so we planned ahead. My husband had the moisture infused Pork Cutlet and it didn't disappoint it was so tender. I had the chicken and prawn with a white wine and cheese sauce delicious.The corkage was $3 a head so our bottle of wine that we took tasted really good. The staff were friendly and the service excellent. We will be back.

I really like this place! The $30 set menu is great, but better value if you have an even amount of people because you get the same amount of pizza for 5 than you would 4. I went with just my partner once and that was Plenty of food! We had to take the last course [pizza] home because we couldn't fit it in!

It is a nice setting, but most of all the staff are Really nice and friendly. I really value good service and this place impresses me. I think it's nice to feel like a valued customer and I do so here. Thank you for a wonderful experience! I would highly recommend this place!

Great food. Great service. Consistently good. Try angel hair pasta and crab meat and the fabulous fish zupa. The 2 Pauls always greet you and make you feel welcome. A favorite.

Came here for father's day lunch, called up as a last minute booking. Just goes to show some things are at their best the last minute! Had the banquet and there was plenty to go around, food was not over filling so we had room for all of the 6 courses. Food was excellent, staff were beautiful and helpful, and venue was cosy. its hard to find a great restaurant these days bit this place deserves praise. Will definitely come here again to try their other dishes.
