I was there a few days ago and as I walked in there was a lovely feel about the whole place! The bar is right there as you walk and it has this feel about it to stop and have a drink, so we did. The bar was clean and the drinks to start our night was FAB! We were moved to our table after we finished our drinks and was promptly seen to by our lovely waiter. He was very lovely and informative and did not push us to hurry our night of night cause we do not get to go out that often! Over all the night was very nice and you will see us again! Thanks.

The first thing you notice when you come in is the breeze that dances from the entry, past a teardrop-shaped bar, ruffles the napkins of the dining room and sprints out to join the Harbour Bridge on a breezy balcony. The decor it touches surprises with little bursts of colour. The bar claims focus with its oblique shape and silver bookshelf of liquors (the first hints of a 30-strong cocktail list). Behind the bar a row of gold- and mauve-coloured curtains billow around baroque-style armchairs. To their right are two whimsical orange Potenza chairs, an open kitchen (raised on a platform for emphasis) and finally a dining room filled with polite beige table settings and very respectable views of the Opera House. From here you can also spy entrees like carpaccio of beef tenderloin with pear, walnuts and gorgonzola rocket salad, mains like fresh herb linguini with sauteed prawns, dry-aged chorizo, asparagus and basil pesto, and desserts like passionfruit and lime brulee with macerated strawberries and sweet pastry twists. Order two courses for a reasonable $45 and indulge in the freshness of the seasonal menu. Alternatively treat yourself to the five-course degustation menu prepared daily according to seasonal market produce. Agnes Gajewska, January 2010

We go all the time, the food is delicious and now at $49 for 2 courses has to be one of the best value restaurants in town. We are also big fans of the wine list which unlike other restaurants we have been to is not over priced.
