Amazing food in a traditional restaurant. Long waiting time to get in is forgotten once you taste the food! Service inside is very quick.

My partner and I went for dinner on a Thursday night. Booking was for 730pm. Seated right away. Staff were great, very attentive, bringing us water and wine glasses straight away and took our order within 15 minutes. Did not crowd us and allowed us plenty of time to look at the menu. Entrees arrived quite quickly (within 20 minutes). The squid salad was a little disappointing but overall nice. The spanner crab tortellini was delicious.

Mains were the beef eye fillet and the lamb rump. I had the beef fillet with roasted garlic, roasted beetroot, and a horseradish type of puree which was quite similar to hummus - absolutely delicious. Beef cooked perfectly. The portion of lamb I tasted was also delicious. We skipped dessert as we were so full but everything on the dessert menu looked amazing.

Unfortunately it was quite hot in the restaurant and we were both sweating a lot. It did get cooler as time went on and the sun fully set, but was still quite warm. Also we waited a good hour for our main meals to arrive, even though the restaurant was not fully booked. Meals were just warm when they arrived.

Overall a great experience. Staff were great. Current menu I felt was a little disappointing compared to a previous menu that was still on the website. The wait for mains was also too long.
