Overall the experience was as delightful as ever, waitstaff friendly and efficient, dining area clean and cool ( 35°C day) Unfortunately for me I picked a meal that I thought was going to get on par with every other meal I've ever eaten there, but the risotto was a let down. I was expecting a creamy, cheesy delight, what I got was a colourful rice soup. Don't get ne wrong,; I ate it all, only because I dont like wasting food, but it wasn't what I expected. It's not going to put me nor the family from eating there again: no it's still my favourite local restaurant, risotto notwithstanding

Meals were very nice. Chips were cooked perfectly, couldn’t eat them all so took the rest home. If any negative, the service was very slow, took 30+ for our food to arrive. The group/s that came in after us got theirs within 20 minutes.
