Overall great experience. Very busy just before Xmas and staff were lovely/ kept their cool under the pressure. Roast pumpkin salad with grilled salmon STUNNING as always. Only disappointment as the fries at $15 a bowl and there were lots of small, thinly cut chips that were over done, so at $15 and a third being inedible, that was not so good. But to sum up, terrific food and a great team.
