2 adults and 2 kids, and thankfully a $150 voucher up our sleeves.
Entrees: Missus had the Carpaccio which she enjoyed, I had the Crab Bruschetta, which obviously had been marinated because it didn't really taste like crab. Wasn't great, wasn't crap, just OK. Kids shared a fairly small serve of chips (which were kinda like the type you'd make yourself at home, they were pretty good actually).
Mains: Kids meals of Bolognese and Sausages. Missus and I shared the Osso Bucco and Half Lobster Pasta. The Osso was dry and by the time you pulled the bones out there was barely enough meat for an entree. The Lobster was either too long frozen, overcooked or both. Very little of it too. To be honest I wasn't overly impressed with the Mains.
Desert: Kids had Sorbet which they loved (I stuck a spoon in for review purposes and it was actually very nice). Missus had the Panacotta which she seemed to enjoy. I had the special which was a chocolate cheesecake and was sensational. Not being a big desert water though it was too rich for me and I couldn't finish it.
Kids had a juice each and we shared a bottle of Mineral Water.
Total came to $175 which wasn't value for money imho, happy to try again though as I'm thinking their other pastas might be the way to go.
One big thing in their favour is I don't recall ever having such friendly and helpful service. They were lovely toward us and just brilliant with the kids. Was probably the highlight of the experience.
6.0/10
Yep my family and neighbours went Thursday and said the same. It's nice, kid friendly and they enjoyed the novelty but it's a bit over priced and not a life changing experience. Haven't got a spare $150 voucher have you chief

However I highly doubt it would surpass a competitor such as the aforementioned 127 Days, Burger Foundry or a Nordburger (of which I have Victorian work colleagues raving about)
