6 of us celebrated a 21st at Wilma - we thought it was fantastic. The service / staff were great and food interesting - we opted for the "Feed me" - a Chef's selection of 8 dishes. All beautifully presented - $76pp. We had organised Bombe Alaska at home so didn't stay for dessert, but Honor (server) presented us with 6 small Portugese tarts and a candle. This is the 2nd time we have had staff go out of their way to follow up on a guest comment (previously, they popped across the road to Akiba to get Green Tea as it wasn't available!).

Beautiful food, delicious well balanced and stunningly presented. The Italian wine was a great recommendation, so good we had to buy one to take home. The staff were so friendly and knowledgeable. Will be back next time we are in town. Thanks for a memorable night.
