Having just visited Midtown's Wooloomooloo I wasn't planning on coming here again at least until Jamie Oliver's restaurant opened. But it was my friends bday and they decided to come here.I came with relatively low expectations and still was disappointed. It has the same pitfalls as Wooloomooloo (probably cause they are the same group), good decor and ambiance but not the food to match it.1) Bangers and mash - Its hard to mess up a simple dish like this.

I came with relatively low expectations and still was disappointed. It has the same pitfalls as Wooloomooloo (probably cause they are the same group), good decor and ambiance but not the food to match it.
1) Bangers and mash - Its hard to mess up a simple dish like this. Mashed potatoes were nice and creamy. Gravy was a bit lacking in depth. Sausages were decent. I liked the addition of caramelized onions on top. 7/10
2) Beef Shank - This is supposed to be one of the signatures of the restaurant. Weighing in at 5kg it certainly makes for a dramatic entrance. The menu suggested that this be shared between 4-6 people but we could barely finish it with 9. The meat was decently tender but the sauce again is lacking depth of flavor, unable to penetrate the meat. I was quite disappointed as I had some hopes for this dish. 5/10
There were many more items that night but I couldnt be bothered to take pictures of them. Overall: 5.5/10
