    The gentleman who greeted us at the door was friendly and polite. The wait staff were lovely and very efficient... especially the lovely Alyssa who suggested the vegetarian pasta which she had herself enjoyed and she was right .. It was very very "moreish". The barramundi, lamb pasta and duck rigatoni were also very very delicious.. We were on a timetable as we were booked to see a show, we had two courses and drinks in plenty of time to get to our seats. Definitely would come back again..
