Great Restaurant with good food and service. May be a bit overpriced, but aspirations set by Restaurant seem high.
We had Tempura Oysters and Tempura Squid as entrees. Both delightful, and one of the best tempura batter experiences in a long while. However with the Tempura Squid in particular, there was a definite lack of squid in the entree. It was there, but more for flavour than substance.
My wife and I both enjoyed the Surf and Turf dish for our lunch. The most premium dish on the menu. It was an absolutely amazing sensation of flavours. From little flat outer solid sauces to the red wine jus, and the seasonings of each ingredient it was flavour rich, and all worked well.
However, I felt the half of a Moreton Bay Bug and just the 2 prawns butterflied was quite sting with the “surf” half of the dish. Especially at the $72 for lunch dish price point. The caramelised capsicum and onions used to stack the seafood was perfect. The most disappointing component of the surf and turf dish was the turf. A Rib Eye steak, whilst appropriate in size, and cooked to perfection at medium rare, it was not the melt in your mouth type of flavour rich experience I would have hoped for and used to.
Service was “slower”, but I felt appropriate for a leisurely “experience” meal. No feeling rushed to get out whilst the flip the table covers.
A really good, solid choice. Although not the high contender we’d been told about and were hoping for.
