The self serve area has way better food and better value.

The service was great, however, for the price paid the food quality was questionable. For a vegetarian pasta dish just shy of $30 you'd expect more than 3 ravioli's, for a garlic bread of almost $7 you would assume there would be more than 2 average slices of bread etc etc.

The overall consensus at our table was there was something missing in every meal. Not a bad restaurant, however, I can't say I'd be selling myself to go there again when the bistro outside has the most amazing chorizo penne and grilled beetroot salads and tables where you are close enough to the people near you that you don't have to shout.

Went for a saturday night dinner. Verdict: awesome.

Food was excellent with a great balance of flavours in every meal, decent sized meals and value for money. Had 3 mains and wine and the total was less than $70.
Service couldn't be faulted either. Can't understand why it was so quiet but will definitely be returning to the place.

Hated the place. What a waste of time and money! Paid $50 a head for supposedly a 3 course meal. Entree was a stale bread roll with butter, dessert was a couple biscuits and the main was a group plate (a small one) of fish, lamb and very oily vegetables. The lamb did not even resemble anything edible. The atmosphere was nothing special either considering it is supposed to be an entertainment restaurant, couldn't hear anything the drag queen was saying despite the fact he entertained for all of 10 minutes and the Greek dancers didn't even try to engage with people inside the restaurant. Furthermore, we were told there would be some plate throwing. At least if there was I'd almost feel like a got my money's worth.

As for the service: the bar tender didn't even know how to make a vodka sunrise! they would not allow us to see any menus or start ordering drinks till after every person had paid. We never did get a menu, it was like taste to identify the food.

Don't waste any money on this tacky venue, especially if you are young because I'm pretty sure my table got taken advantage of for that reason. If you want entertainment, go to a show and if you want good food, go to a proper restaurant because sadly, this place is a pathetic excuse for either.
