We were there on a Saturday night for dinner. It was not very busy when we got there as we had a 6.30 pm booking. We were seated very quickly but had to asked for the menus. The website boasts of spectacular views, however, the views were marred by very dirty windows as we sat at a table by the windows.

The menu was very boring, giving us very little choices. We had a bowl of wedges and fried calamari as entrees, the wedges were on the edge of being called burnt and the calamari was tasteless and slightly soggy. We ordered beers but we were served the bottles and the cold glasses, expected to pour the beers ourselves which was something I did not expect from a 'classy' restaurant.

The presentation of the mains could be improved. I had the chicken involtini which was ok but the tasteless potatoes that accompanied it was pushed to a side. My husband had the whole baby snapper which tasted like very plain. I could have cooked the whole dinner at home without having to drive all the wa to the Docklands for it. We left without having dessert even though I am very fond of desserts. Thankfully, we did not have to pay for dinner as a gift voucher covered the cost. I don't think we will ever go back again.
