Dinner for two, 6 courses plus premium matched wines, plus two glasses of wine and a cheese board - $793.
Don't go to this restaurant. They offer nothing special and are WAY overpriced for what you get.
The food was literally a 3 star level. The oyster we had lacked taste (aka, not that fresh) and the rest of the dishes were just uninspiring.
The wine was a 1 star experience. European wines are generally less tasty than our amazing Aussie wines but that aside the sommelier was astonishingly miserly with the pours. The price we payed was at the top of the market, yet he skimped on the wine. I should have been bathing in the stuff!! Annoyingly, our miserly pours preceeded each dish by about 5-10 minutes (EVERY time), so that meant the wine was pretty much gone by the time each dish arrived.
It was just poorly timed, poorly sized and not good enough for a $793 night.
We accepted the offer of a 'glass of sparkling' before starting the food and then we accepted a 'cheese board with matched glass of wine' before dessert. These additions raised the bill from $600 to $793.
The service was classy, but I think the floor staff were really let down by the poor timing between the wine and the kitchen.
This restaurant is bad value. If you're looking for something that will delight then don't go here. Find somewhere like Circa or Taxi which will be better value, more generous and WAY more interesting with the food.
