Have been twice for lunch, very nice food both times. Staff were not very warm and fuzzy but the food and view make up for it. Burger, veal and breads lovely!

After reading so many suspect 10/10 reviews from people with only one review I was expecting a big let-down for this restaurant. Sunday lunch, taste of Ormeggio menu with wines, $135 each for 6 courses, a new year treat!

The food was very good, interesting and unusual. (I was wanting to give it 9/10 but didn't love the dolci). The matching wines made the experience, as they were all lovely (10/10) and we would have liked more than they gave us, my glass always seemed to be filled less full than my husbands.

The staff were all nice and explained each course/wines to us with enough detail. Portions, like the wine were small, so do eat the lovely bread rolls they serve. I will return!

When we first dined here the food was nice, but too expensive for a "club"- so last week I was please to see that the menu and prices have changed, I had a prawn noodle special that was very nice and about $14.50, and everyone enjoyed the food. It is a shame you have to order at the bar, and that it is still too bright etc- but worth a visit.

Had a great evening, the staff make this venue, as they are friendly and have just the right balance of interaction with the customers. We went the whole hog and had the wines with the 7 courses-all good but would have fallen over if I hadn't have given my hubby a couple of drinks I didn't like! All the food we had was nice(tho don't need to have sea cucumber ever again), the beef dish was stunning! As a one off experience this was lovely, but I don't think I would want to do it again unless someone else was paying.

Had a great evening, table for 4 worked well as all very small dishes, just enough for 4 people to taste. Wines from Chile was very nice. The food was nice tho not keen on the stuffed mushrooms or chorizo. You have to order a lot of dishes to have the equivalent of a main meal, so yet again it works out expensive. Loved the vibe of this place and the loo is very special! Big downer is "sittings" at the w/e-my pet hate for restaurants.

Better than other mexican restaurants in the area. Still too heavy with too much cheese and even extra sour cream dip on everything that already had sour cream on! The kids and hubby liked the food a lot but I think the menu could be a bit better if it was a bit lighter.

Went in a large group, letting the evening go along without taking too much notice of things! Most of the meats were very nice and the sides and salads were also good. The pineapple was yum! Will return on a less "party" night and will take more notice of what I'm eating.

4 starters, 5 mains and 3 desserts to choose from. Efficient waitress, food good, though I feel it is expensive for a restaurant with a view of several lanes of traffic! I miss the casual warmth and the prices of "The Catch" as it was in it's former life, but will return for the nice food.

This was a nice early dinner before heading over to the city, all tapas dishes we ordered were nice as was the Spanish wine, my only problem is the cost, as tapas shouldn't be very expensive so you can order lots of different things. The cost of each dish is about half the cost of a main but tiny, so doing the maths, you end up spending more when you have tapas!

If you fancy Fajitas then this place is fine. I would like the salsa to be more than copped tomato and the nachos were very average, too dry and not enough cheese, but apart from that it was nice. The frozen margaritas were yum but it was a cold night, so I need to return in the summer.
