Blown away by the Christmas Day banquet menu. The fusion Asian style was executed extremely well. The seafood was super fresh - scallops, each person was served half a Southern (export quality) rock lobster with pepper berry and lemon myrtle which worked well and a lovely change from the familiar ginger and shallots. The black angus beef was very tender and the house tea smoked duck. Great innovative lunch with use of native ingredients.

We lashed out and ordered the Festive Banquet. The seafood, in particular, was wonderful. We also enjoyed the duck and the slow-cooked, melt-in-your-mouth Angus Beef short ribs. Very glad we made the decision to try this degustation menu.

the four of us opted for the Pearl banquet option which was delicious, the wines were good . Next time we will sample more of the dumplings, as we substituted one of the dishes to try the prawn dumpling.
