For the price the food was very average. The garlic bread was cold inside. My pasta was just ok not really packing much flavour. My partner had fish that was a massive serving of fish with almost no vegetables

We always get great service, a warm welcome and terrific food. It is a bit busy and can get loud but we love this place and will continue to frequent it and take our family and friends there too. Highly recommend the Ginger Olive. The crispy Eggplant is DELICIOUS too! 👍

A restaurant selected by chance and we then enjoyed a thoroughly first class evening. Great food, service was spot on and well priced. Could do with a slightly longer wine list.

Dinner was good, but my barramundi didn’t smell fresh, it smelled a bit fishy. I’ve had it plenty of times before, when it smelled fresh. My husband’s meal was good. Drinks were good. The wait staff is amazingly attentive. Sadly, it was raining that evening, and we saw a mouse run through the restaurant. It’s nature, I know, but it weirded me out.
