Disappointing. Food was pretty bland and unimaginative for what was expected. Prawns were mostly tasteless. Rack of lamb was well cooked but very gamy tasting. The baklava was terrible, especially considering the $30USD price for 3 pieces. The space is beautiful and the hotel is lovely. Service was good too. But skip this one.

There was really no ambience in the space or music. Everything felt very cold. The meats were dry and all the foods were just OK. We felt it would be much better experience, higher quality, and were extremely dissappointed.

Fabulous restaurant! Top notch service and excellent food. Really high end environment. We had to sit indoors as the weather wasn't great, but think an outside table would be exceptional with the views. Would come again.

Beautiful venue and the staff was incredible. So knowledgeable and great story tellers. They absolutely made the experience. The food was good, but I wasn't in love with each dish. We did the tasting menu.
