    We were the only 4 people in restaurant. Food was fine but service not great. Had to find waiter when we wanted drinks and not asked if we would like dessert coffee etc. lights came on so obviously we knew we had to wrap it up.

    The menu was limited Our drinks were slow to be served We were put on a tiny table that 2 people were at...and there was 4 of us..very cramped. Our entree of beef skewers was not good value for $20...3 tiny meat skewers with a huge bowl of stay sauce(this was great) just not much meat Our party diner 1 had lamb shoulder...very overcooked not enjoyable Diner 2 chicken schnitzel was good except was not able to have mushroom sauce Diner 3 and 4 had chicken saltimbucca...whilst it was well cooked and wrapped in prosciutto there was no sage (a major ingredient of this dish)..the burnt butter sauce was non existent..and the creamy mash was extremely lumpy with bits of brown lumps (we think this was potato skin). It was not busy only 3 other tables of single or two diners... yet the city was very busy. We were excited to try this restaurant having not been to Sugar Shaker for many years..it seems suites to cater only for guests staying and not the wider public. It was extremely disappointing and we probably won't return.

    Our meals were good, but do not like the idea of having to pay for extra sides to make it a full meal. Service was good and the atmosphere is relaxing.

    Lovely food which is the most important thing! I was just unhappy with the booking and seating. I booked online and our booking wasn’t recorded, we were still given a table, however when we went to get food that table was given away. Excellent food very poor service.

    We had the buffet breakfast and it was all fantastic. The lady on the desk looking after everyone was marvellous, I wish I’d gotten her name. She was friendly and so helpful with a lovely energy. My daughter is coeliac and she went out of her way to show her everything she could eat which was a great gf variety, the kitchen staff we came across were also friendly. Everything was clean and all the food was fresh and stocked up. We will be back.
