FOOD

Australian executive chef Amanda Gale focuses on sourcing the freshest and best quality ingredients. This Mediterranean-inspired restaurant emphasises seafood combined with the subtle accents of eastern spices. The cuisine is healthy and uses fresh, organic ingredients. Though the list is not extensive, it is a well thought out menu. A popular starter is ricotta, lemon and mint tortellini with seared tiger prawns, pine nuts, raisins and parmesan; the carefully seared prawns are slightly crispy on the outside and fresh and tender on the inside. For the main dish, whole roast south Australian crayfish comes live from the tank in a sizzling hot container. The crustacean is very fresh and huge, with delicious and flavourful spicing from fried garlic, chilli and marjoram. For dessert, try refreshing sweet and sour tamarind souffle which rounds off the meal nicely.
