Having read reports of the excellent food and the slow service I thought I know what to expect.
It started with poor service, as expected. We arrived a little earlier than our other dinner guests and so they decided the way to treat us was to ignore us for 10 minutes.
The location is great, down by the water, with the cool breeze and city lights.
The starter duck salad and oysters are excellent. The Mains alas, old fashioned and stoggy and, in my case, very very very garlicly - raw garlic is never good, what are they thinking. The pasta was not linguine as advertised, but spaghetti and overwhelmingly garlicy. Totally bad.
For $120 each all up is was very poor value - the Red Cabbage for 2 weeks ago is way better (except for the view)
The wines we had are excellent, if expensive - Smith and Shaw M3 Chardonnay and Green point SB. Both really yummy.
We won't go back for a while (ever).
