The staff are a cut above and were knowledgeable, friendly and engaging. We cannot stress enough, you cannot fault the service at this place! The views and location are also amazing. The dining area is spacious and the views are incredible.
I wish the food tasted as good as the staff explained it. We didn’t dislike the food but considering where you are and the price tag, it leaves a lot to be desired. We had the hummus, pickles and sourdough for starters. These were ok the dips were missing seasoning and attention to detail to make them memorable and the sourdough was ok but not amazing.
For mains we had the handmade pasta and the reserve wagyu steak along with balsamic tomatoes and triple cooked potatoes. The pasta was nice but again did not present the wow moment a venue and experience like this should. Perhaps for me the steak is the saddest part. I was told all about and couldn’t wait for a melt in your mouth wagyu but instead it was hard to cut through, chewy at points and generally lacking the umami I was looking forward to. The balsamic tomatoes were not acidic and were somewhat bland. Perhaps the highlight of the meal, the potatoes were nice. They were crispy, reasonably seasoned and very golden which was fantastic.
Dessert was an apricot cake and caramel ice cream sandwich. These again were ok but nothing more. The biscuit in the sandwich was tough and it was a small serving and the cake was nice but the flavour just wasn’t elevated to the level it should be.
The wine and general drinks selection was a major positive and the wait staff gave knowledgeable recommendations which were much appreciated.
I wanted to adore this restaurant, it is incredible in so many ways but paying the bill of almost $400 for a dinner for two that left us unsatisfied and wondering how it was so average was disappointing. We are unable to justify returning unless the flavour of the food changes drastically.
