We were pleasantly surprised. Outside very plain, but once inside its lovely and clean with a retro style. The wait staff was really great and the chef came out and had a brief chat and that was cool. The food was flavoursome, nicely presented Ames the hot food was served'hot' ! I had the Scallop and Lobster Risotto, and I can honestly say, it's the best perfectly cooked risotto I've eaten in a very long time, and there were plump scallops and slices of lobster. My Partner and Mum both had Gnocchi and they agreed it was hot, light, fluffy and flavoursome. Well done guys. We'll be back when in Victoria again.
