We had vouchers to redeem and tried over and over to call them for a reservation. The only way to make a reservation is online. After reading the reviews, we even printed out our confirmation email just to be sure.

The service was ok. The waiter and the waitress were very polite. The entrees and mains came out well timed, however, after that I think they forgot about us for a while and we had to wave them down to get our table cleared and to get our desserts.

For entrees we ordered salads, the chicken caesar was quite nice but the salmon salad was drenched in oil and salmon wasn't fresh. The portion sizes were good but the food is not worth the $17 they charge.

For our mains there was no lasagna or steak left, they served beef fillet in a white wine sauce, 3 cheap cuts of beef in a not so special sauce. Their fish of the day (brim) was over cooked, dry and under seasoned. The fish was horrible and the beef was blah.

For dessert, we had semifreddo and panna cotta, both delicious, a nice surprise.
This place is in a nice location with plenty of potential, they just need someone with a knowledge of food.

We had their set breakfast menu for a party of 32 women.

Service - I found it odd that they only had 1 waiter serving all 30+ of us when the whole restaurant was still empty. Although he did a fantastic job, he should've had someone else waiting the tables with him.

Food - The breakfast included bacon, eggs, scones, pancakes, sausages, fruits, yoghurt, tea and coffee (plus a few more things that I have missed). The food was great and we left with full stomachs.

Ambience - we sat by the windows and had the restaurant to ourselves. Can't complain!

Value - We paid $30p/p including coffees and juices etc.

I'd definitely recommend this place for their breakfasts, especially if you're planning a for a big group or a special occasion.

The steak was cooked nicely, although their medium is a bit on the rare side. The kebabs were fine, the chicken tasted better than the beef. The pasta tasted bland and boring. They need to make more of an effort on their pastas. The food is overpriced for what it is. We paid $185 for the four of us. We left very full but the quality of the food needs improving. Although it's at a great location and the staff were nice and friendly, the food isn't worth a return visit.

We ordered the roti kosong which came with curry sauce, this was a good snack/entree for about $5, and it tasted pretty good. The Malaysian Hawker style dried noodle with chicken was ok, oily and I probably wouldn't have it again. The beef curry with rice was nice and had a bit of flavour but I still needed to add sambal chilli to give it some spice. I'd probably order this again.

My friends ordered an assortment of their noodle dishes and they were all happy with what they ate. I like the place, it's clean (because it's relatively new) and the service is pretty good. The food came out promptly. It's a pretty good cheap eat and their portion sizes aren't too bad. I'd go again to try out their other dishes.

We celebrated Easter Sunday here as a group of 10. We could not fault this place. The waiters were attentive and polite and provided excellent service with a smile. Teresa came to check that we were happy with everything and wished us a happy Easter.

Our food came out promptly and our water glasses were always filled. Being long weekend the place only had a few big groups but I think their service would be great regardless.

The food was delicious! All their dumplings were perfect and fresh with the soup inside them. Also try their pan fried pork buns! The shrimp and pork wonton in spicy sauce with noodles were also a big hit. The only thing we wouldn't order again is the fried rice as there are more delicious things on their menu to try.

Don't miss giving this place a go, we'll definitely be back!

There were 5 of us and he bill was only $85! Like the others said, $3 a plate, the sushi is fresh and delicious. My favourites are the grilled salmon, grilled scallops and soft shell crab, they all come plain or spicy. They also make lovely rice cakes for dessert!

The place is clean, not too noisy and we didn't have to wait too long for a place. The service was great, they are very pleasant and attentive. We'll definitely be back!

We used some vouchers and between the 6 of us we were able to try three different entrees and three mains. The vegetarian rice paper rolls were very nice, the crispy polenta tartlets and the fresh oysters were absolutely delicious.

Of the mains offered the chicken pad thai and the crispy prawn with cashew nuts were nice, although I prefer stronger flavours. My favourite of the mains was the lamb shoulder in Panang curry - yum!

I would like to go again, maybe for a special occasion. I think the vouchers are good value for money. If we didn't have them, I'd think twice before spending $26 on pad thai.

We ate here as a group of 20 and paid about $60p/p for a three course meal. The pork belly entree was a decent size and the skin was crispy but like main, it was too salty.

For the mains the steaks were large and cooked well and they came with potatoes, which again were very salty. The lamb was ok but it wasn't very flavourful. The desserts were very nice, doughnuts were delicious and the sapote panna cotta was divine!

I found the white sangria very sweet, I wouldn't order that again. The service was great, they were very attentive. I'd probably go back to try some other things on their menu.

We ordered the crispy polenta chips and funky chips, both were delicious! The mushroom ravioli was very nice, the pasta was fresh and the filling was tasty. The spag bol was a little under seasoned but the pasta was very well cooked!
The others I dined with enjoyed their meals.

The service was ok but I found we had to try had to get their attention on various occasions. On a good note the food came out promptly and the service was friendly.

I suggest if you are going there you are ready to wait at least an hour. We picked up a buzzer at 7 and went for drinks and were seated by 8:10. Others around us were being told it was a 2 hour wait (and it was already 8pm).

The food is nice, I visited for the novelty and although I liked what I ate there next time I would order their chips and try their mains.

Overall the food was pleasant and good quality, the servings for some mains were a bit small but I guess you are also paying for quality. For 6 people we paid $21 each, including a round of fresh juices.

The dumplings were yummy and fresh and the sizzling beef was quite nice, they use good cuts of beef and the flavours were great...(this dish was on the small side). The szechuan pork was really spicy, just the way I like my food but if you don't like spice, stay away from it.

The service was lacking at times, we were continuously waving them down, however, the plus is that the staff were polite. We were seated outside, the ambience was very nice, people everywhere and there was a small band playing in the piazza. Would go again for a special occasion.
