We were surprised because this restaurant was VERY highly recommended to us by others who had dined here. We order entrees (that were good), and mains (Barramundi and Cod) and found the fish mains to be very bland and without much taste. The price is quite so we're surprised by the lack of "pop." But even at a much lower price, we would'n't want the same taste.
