Great food, had the arancini balls, lamb shoulder and chocolate marquise. Service was absolutely outstanding, water regularly topped up, didn't wait long for food, and empty dishes promptly cleared. Managed to easily finish three courses within one and half hours, starting at 5pm, so that could attend 7pm show at the convention centre.

A very special night highlighted by a fantastic tasting menu of the highest quality. the service was impeccable - reliable & informative. the wines selected from the drinks menu were as described to us by the drinks person. the view from our table to the river outside added to the occasion. You pay for what you get - which is sensational food from Tasmania & Bass Strait.
