Restaurant review only and it's one dissaponted customer. The produce and ingredients tasted as if they of a higher quality but the final cooking was a bit of a let down, we ordered seared scallops which were seared but a bit overcooked, the lamb rump with red wine jus had more of a honey glaze and was overcooked, the half duck was delicious but the the potatoes weren't even crispy it's as if they have been pre cooked with a char on them and then re heated in a microwave. there were only 4 people in the dining space but they still didn't deliver a dinner worth $178 including drinks. The dining space is a bit of an afterthought, appears to be a timer deck that can be converted into a function room and outdoor bar so the ambience is completely non existent with the same music that's being played in the bar as the restaurant, a number of patrons wishing to access the bar walk through the restaurant. Service was slow for this restaurant and the wine list needs to be updated. Should be a 2.5 star for the price we paid.

This is an excellent restaurant as soon as you walk in you see a very clean and well maintained place very nice decorations and the lighting is good for having a romantic dinner or a lunch i enjoyed the food the fish was very tasty and very well complimented by the risotto and microherbs,the service is good very polite and helpful staff the wait was not long but the place was not full.

Had a very lovely dinner here. Although it is a bit hidden in the side of a building, the rustic, cozy atmosphere was very welcoming. There was even an authentic charcoal fireplace that made the area so warm and relaxing. It would be great even just to get a few drinks with friends after a busy day at work. I must admit the portion sizes are a bit small for the prices however I believe it was fully worth it. The chef here clearly knows their stuff as all the meat we ordered were cooked and flavoured to perfection (steak with crispy outside and medium rare inside, lamb ribs that fell of the bone so easily, clams that had just the right firmness). Also some lovely surprises in terms of texture and flavour including a duck fat cream which was not greasy or fatty at all but quite light. I was surprised since it was so fluffy and light like a vanilla cream dessert! The desserts were also fantastic and all homemade with the caramels and chocolates lovingly made in house with butter to make a consistency that was not too dense or too light, but the perfect in between. All in all, highly recommend if you want some actual professional cooking.

We had a voucher from Red Balloon as a gift. It was a french dinner for 2 with cheese and wine. It was really fantastic dinner with 4 service of different wines each. The entree was the most delicious experience, large varieties and quantities. the staff were nice and professional. I recommend to those looking for something different.

Very disappointed in the service and the food. Would not go again AT ALL. I asked the waitress whether the salad in the main menu gives generous portion as I told her I was hungry. She ensured that yes it is of generous portion. The dish came out with the salad on one side of the dish as the portion was very small, definitely of side dish size. My friend and I both looked at it and was like "is that it?". I then asked the waitress why didn't you tell me because otherwise I would have ordered something more filling. She said that she must have a smaller stomach. I ended up having to order another sandwich after all. Ended up spending $40 on lunch and the waitress was very unapologetic about the miscommunication. Spoke to the manager at Jessica and she maintains that whatever you order you need to pay for regardless of whether there is miscommunication which she denied. Very bad experience.
