I've seen and heard about this place for years, but never went. So tonight we finally tried it. I made a booking for 8pm and was told there was only the bar available. When I asked what time we could get a table, she said 9pm, so I kept the bar booking. We arrived on time and was told they did actually have a table for us, great Before we even sat down, they put fresh vege sticks, garlic bread and soup on the table for us.

Before we even sat down, they put fresh vege sticks, garlic bread and soup on the table for us. While the service was quick, I thought it was strange to serve us food we didn't even order. Only when I had a chance to look at the menu did I discover it's their "cover charge" of $38 and you don't get a choice of whether to have it or not. I really hate that, if I'm being charged for food, I want to have the choice to refuse it.
We ordered:
- the seafood platter (fresh, but oysters were only "ok")
- the chicken wings (oily, but good flavour, not a lot of meat on them)
- spring rolls (very oily)
- bottle of promotional white wine
If they say they have a dinner menu, they don't, they just have a snack menu, mainly full of fried foods.
Before our cooked food even came, we were told it's last order (it was about 8:30pm) and if we wanted anything else. I thought that was strange, until the waitress came back at 8:57pm and said we had to return the table at 9pm and there were ppl there who were waiting. We were not told this when we sat down and we hadn't even finished our bottle of wine, so we just took our time. They brought the bill without us asking, so my bf told her off and said that we're not finished and they can wait until we are. So she left the bill and walked away a little rattled to be told off.
She came to clear our table about 10 mins later and we were still drinking and chatting. Then after another 10 mins, she came to apologise and said she really has to give the table to the other ppl and offered to seat us at the bar. I said we're leaving anyway, which we did.
I know their premises are small, but don't give me a table and not tell me what time you need it back and then thru your service literally were rushing us thru our meal; pouring huge glasses of wine so we'd finish the bottle quicker and then have the rudeness to bring the bill before it's actually asked for.
Overall I think the food is just average (esp considering the hype) it wasn't that cheap and the service was pretty poor.
