   They are so understaffed. There were so many people and not enough staff for all the people they had. The place is also super noisy which is annoying when you are trying to have a conversation or you have been waiting for your meal more than an hour. Our food arrived one plate at a time, which meant I ate my main meal by myself and everyone was starving looking at me eating. Same thing happened with my husband and his spaghetti, which arrived once I had finished my main meal and by the time our kids pizzas arrived they were swimming in olive oil, even though we requested not to have olive oil on top of them. The waiter pretended to take a note of it, but when the pizzas arrived they were swimming in olive oil. A staff member came to tell us that the olive oil was in the pizza salsa which clearly wasn’t - the olive oil was on top and it was excessive. The waiter didn’t bother writing ‘no olive oil’ and our kids had to wait more than an hour for their meal, and it arrived ignoring the request we gave them of no olive oil.

   The food, wine was poor value for money in a place with little atmosphere. Service difficult even though it was busy which we understood. We ordered a pre-lunch drink which never arrived and were in and out in 45 mins.

   We had a fabulous lunch. Food was wonderful and the service fantastic. It got a little noisy as it got busier but that’s more an observation than a complaint. We highly recommend! And if you go just to do a tasting, their wines are excellent!

   The food was superb and within the menu were a range of options to suit anyone from the simplest of diners to those hoping to try something different. The ingredients in the dishes were of high quality with my husband saying that it was the best spag bol he'd ever tasted. And the prawns were absolutely mouth-watering as well as the gluten free bread - so light. It was so good to dine at such a venue of high standard without the menu being pretentious and having 20 ingredients described in detail as is often the case these days. The noise though was intense - nightclub noisy. We had to yell to hear each other which we managed but it did limit the conversation. I suggest going when it's not so busy and hopefully at some stage the owners will look at managing the sound in the future.

   For the price, the fini g room is lively and so are the staff. Unfortunately no one, neither staff nor kitchen seem to have a clue about running a restaurant. Dishes delivered in the wrong order the reappeared overcooked. Some were cold and a barracuda fillet "to share" at 44 dollars arrived early, was under cooked and was scacrely big enough for one person. Although we received multiple apologies, we still shelled out 250 dollars (no wine) and it was extremely poor. (Footnote; 99% of the flor staff seem to be in their teens and it was clear most had never worked in a restaurant before). I almost feel sorry for them because it is clear they are expected to deliver a fine dining experience without learning what that means.

   The service, venue, food and wine were all excellent. We had to leave before coffee and dessert however, as the noise was overwhelming. My husband and I were almost shouting to hear each other across the table! In fairness to the venue, there were 2 tables of approx 10, which woukd have added to the noise, as opposed to an also fully booked weekend day with smaller groups. If you can, a mid week luncheon would be preferable.

   We went on a hot Saturday for lunch, we sat in the back glass room. The air conditioning was on however it was so hot my son was sweating and flustered. The noise level was almost unbearable. My 81 year old mother who we were celebrating her Birthday couldn't hear anything. The food was amazing however we couldn't wait to leave because of the heat and the noise. Service was great too.
