For us the best menu we have seen in Townsville so far, spoilt for choice. The food was very well cooked and the service was personal and friendly without being overbearing. The setting was similar to a few fine dining places back in the UK which put a smile on my face. My steak was perfectly cooked, tasty, juicy and obviously well rested which made me very happy indeed. Classic combinations with international influences, brilliant. We will come back again. When booking ask for a booth, its lovely for a meal for two however the restaurant is lovely and intimate so any table would be a pleasure.
