Save yourselves! Get takeaway.
The staff here are relatively friendly but that's about where the good times end. The drinks menu was more dry than a martini, and that's saying something. We came ready to celebrate, and so we ordered 4 different cocktails, of which 3 were underwhelming.
For entrees we ordered the wild mushroom and goats curd croquettes. The serving size was good actually, and the way they dressed the plate was nice but the filling itself was so lacking in flavour. No seasoning, couldn't taste the apparent mushroom or goats curd ... I've had greater culinary experiences from wet toast.
For mains we ordered the two top priced mains, the corn fed chicken and the pasture fed strip loin. The only thing stopping me from returning it, was the girl at the pass who couldn't speak English.
The chicken was so over cooked, my partner who cannot cook to save his life - has actually done better. My strip loin was medium rare, and served with the tiniest sliver of butter as a sauce. Served with so-called roast heritage tomatoes (Cherry tomatoes) The steak was cooked properly but still was tough, I don't think the quality was what the menu advertised, which is disappointing for $38
The whole thing was expensive, disappointing and challenging to consume.
At least the staff are friendly.
