We arrived without a reservation. The gentleman who greeted us showed us to a table in the middle of the restaurant and told to us sit and wait while he checked which table was available. He gave us menus, returned 30 seconds later and ushered us to a table next to the window. Granted the view was spectacular, but all this extra trouble was highly annoying: why not take a few extra seconds to check the agenda and show us to the window table in the first place?Australia is known for its grass-fed
Australia is known for its grass-fed beef, so I was disappointed to find that only the filet mignon was grass-fed, everything else was grain fed. The medium-rare steak arrived barely warm and on the dry side, but tasted good and had great texture. I also ordered the wild mushrooms and the grilled asparagus, both of which were ok. Overall the selection of side dishes did not feature enough plain vegetables, like steamed broccoli for example, or even salad.
They offered a selection of mustards (twice, because the waiting staff did not coordinate) just after they served the steak, which might appeal to some. At least they refilled the water glass regularly.
Since I had complained about the steak (but decided not to order another one as it would have taken too long), they served us a ho-hum pavlova dessert (cream-filled meringue topped with strawberry, blueberry, kiwi and mango sauce).
On the way out we wandered around the roof terrace. Despite the view, the atmosphere was bleak.
