Really enjoyed the food and wonderful/quick and attentive service! Went with a friend and back with my family and got the zucchini flowers - yum! The food was really delicious!

I was really surprised to find this place in the middle of Fairfield (of all places)! The meals were great, relaxing / chic atmosphere, excellent service and value. Went with work people and we all got the 3 course meal for $28!
Really nice salt and pepper squid, the steak was cooked well with my favourite vegies (asparagus, baby carrot, kifler potatoes and green beans!) and a big serving of creme brulee! Will definitely go back and try the other restaurants!

Really disappointed as used to be a local & regular at this restaurant. Returned after a change/s in management finding the food & service terrible. I ordered the Vitello Moda (used to get it before), the only good thing were the prawns (actually were succulent) however the veal was possibly boiled, the sauce was so BL& / floury that when I added salt / pepper it didn't even help! Tasted like a quick flour based sauce - which my friend can do better when there's no cream available. We weren't offered water / cracked pepper nor told the specials.

After giving honest feedback about my meal to the waiter, we were offered dessert menus - however again not told the specials & it was unclear whether they were offering us a free dessert since the mains were terrible (my friend's Cannelloni's sauce tasted like canned tomato soup!). We didn't order dessert however when we later saw the specials on a chalkboard we could have been persuaded & it could have ended the meal on a good note.

When we went to pay we were still charged the full amount for my meal although I hardly touched it. I tried to eat it hoping each mouthful would get better. I have never before left so much on my plate but it really was inedible & although I felt bad telling them this, I had to. I asked about a discount on my meal to the woman behind the counter (did not see her all night until that moment) who rudely asked what was wrong with the food or "did you just not like it?".

I told her the truth (even praised the prawns) & the waiter piped up saying that the it was a bad batch of cream - which was later thrown out! It didn't even taste like off cream, it was gluggy & floury! They took my meal off the bill - we left hungry & utterly disappointed - used to love that place! Sorry to go on but really needed to vent about this place & warn others!
