I took my wife there for a Xmas lunch on Dec 17th, 2015. Great location, great views, great decor, fantastic service, great wine list but the food was just ordinary....in fact so disappointing for such a highly rated place. My entree of scallops were under cooked, grey and sinewy not white. They were covered in a spiced type of breadcrumb that was dry. In the mouth there was no taste of scallop and no moisture.....just a dry breadcrumb flavour. My main was roast duck...a small breast with lots of fat tissue on a very large plate with a dry sauce smeared on the plate. It must have been laid on the plate well before the duck was cooked as the thin smear of sauce had dried on the plate resulting in me having to push hard to gather anything to have with the duck,,,,,and then there was no taste to it.

Having paid $80 for these two course sI was totally unsatisfied with the meal.

The amuse bouche looked nice but was also tasteless, The petit fours were good. The best thing about the meal was the breadroll and olive oil!!

We won't be going back again. Either the real chef was on holidays at the time or the standards have fallen significantly from our last visit. A very disappointing experience.
