We were party of 2 for a Sunday lunch. Despite the website forewarning
that you’re only likely to get a booking if you book 2 weeks ahead, we got a
booking easily and while there we were there only 3 other tables were occupied
Entrees
I had Roast duck betel leaves, aromatic herbs,
peanut praline, chilli & cucumber, char grilled pineapple jam- Italian
buffalo mozzarella, pumpkin puree, pumpkin seed granola & mustard fruit. It
was a nice entrée … a lot going on … the duck was overpowered by the very sweet
caramelized onions.
Mum had Sashimi of Tasmanian salmon, shaved
Port Lincoln cuttlefish, togaroshi, rock oyster, wakame & nashi pear. Again
quite a nice dish – I had a taste and got an oyster. It definitely wasn’t
freshly shucked so the texture wasn’t overly pleasant. But, that aside it was
quite nice.
Mains
Mum had Char grilled Kilcoy eye fillet of beef,
Paris mash, wilted spinach, thyme & garlic roast field mushrooms & red
wine jus
I had Pan fried salmon fillet with sake
braised vongole clams, pearl cous cous, black & white fungi.
Both mains were quite
good – mum and I both wanted medium to rare in its truest form but got
thoroughly cooked through steak and salmon so if you like medium to rare maybe
request rare if you do want to see pink.
We didn’t need sides at
all as the dishes came with sides and were good serves.
So, on www.eatability.com.au
overall I’d say a 7 or 7.5 captures our meal
I do want to make a special point of saying how
excellent the service was though – outstanding, attentive and extremely genuine.
Service was a 10.
Critiques
We went on a rainy day so all windows were closed.
There were only 3 other tables on the other side of the restaurant yet it was
hard-to-hear noisy.
Only Rose on the menu was a Curious Nature Rose –
If you like sweeter and fruitier Rose’s you like it, we don’t and made the
mistake of not asking.
Bill for 2 entrees, 2 mains and a bottle of wine
was $141.00.
