25th June 2013 Went there sat nite ,birthday party, very disappointed ,service was poor ,more interested in serving alcohol .Booked for 7.15 got four meals by about 8.15 had to ask for other two when just about finished ours.Pasta was just spaghetti with trimmings and venison looked and tasted like mutton leg chops disguised with quite a tasty sauce.the hot sea salt bread had a thick crust of salt (greatfull for the decanter of water),Prices were reasonable but sorry to say I would not recommend this restaurant .

Hi Howard,
Sorry you where disappointed with you dinner.
There are a couple of things I'd like to say.
That was a very busy night for our team; we had a large buffet dinner on and a busy al carte service (composed of a majority of non booked tables) and a party for 50 people that where interested in drinking. You had the option of starters which where advised due to the possibility of a wait, you didn't order any but did have “crusty” breads to tie you over during the wait.
As for “just spaghetti” which was loaded with scallops, fresh king fish, bacon lardoons, capers, fresh greens from our garden, al dente spaghetti, beautiful!! It was delicious (my own dinner) also or cheapest main meal, a bargain at $25 (our spaghetti is sourced from Italy via a local supplier)
The venison osso buco may have been a bit over done due to its low fat content, hard to do anything about that now; there would have been no charge…
Crusty homemade bread, have you been to France? Crust is good!
I accept some meals came out late. My commi under estimated the cooking time of kingfish as he had been cooking snapper most of the night, he has been punished!
You cant please everybody Howard and we can only do our best.
Sorry again, Cheers Mark Gardner
excellent food, top service.... would definitely go back
