So-so. Half of the food was great, the other half wasn't. The barramundi was tender and…read morewell-seasoned, the potatoes were very good, the greens were not good (sauteed spinach, French peas, green lima-looking beans, asparagus, green squash- it was like the chef said, "throw every green thing in a pan together and cook them all the same way despite the fact that these are individual vegetables with individually appropriate methods of preparation. Don't argue with me"), the chicken was kinda yuck. Unimpressed by the beer selection, but my G&T was great (and giant- I got the summer Gran Mare special, which is a huge G&T with two oysters on the half shell for $15). Next time I think we'll spring for the tapas instead of the full meals. The service is great- friendly host staff and attentive servers, even on a Friday night. Tons of seating, and each little nook of the place is individually styled and it feels like your table totally belongs to you, like it's "your usual table". The patio is a gorgeous spot to catch a sunset, and it's dog-friendly. Don't bring your kids unless they're exceptionally un-kid-like; some of the cocktails served are literally on fire.

My wife had prawn linguine & I had the dock leg with pancetta & cous cous. She could not finish hers so I got to taste both. The prawns were incredibly fresh with a bit of heat from the chilli. I tend to not have seafood in places not near the sea but this proved me wrong. Likewise, the duck was tremendous. The Tira Mi Su finished off a perfect meal. Wine list was extensive with both European & Australian well represented. Highly recommend.

Broad beans and mint are not high on my list of things I want to eat. But regardless, I scraped my plate clean of every drop. It was a darn good plate of potatoes. For dessert I couldn't resist the tiramisu, my favorite dessert. This one was good except for the oddly thick sauce that coated it. It was almost like melted icing or a really thick creme anglaise. Very good, but very very rich. http://www.yelp.com.au/biz_photos/yoPn8Ehy2dmDfZqjUqBGXA?select=SIWl530YMcG9Np76-9h1pw I would definitely come back if I'm ever trapped in Canberra again.

I and her majesty went there for our wedding anniversary last Christmas Eve and today for a get together pre-Mothers day. It's a spectacularly cozy cocktail lounge with superb staff, premium drinks menu, awesome 'light' food menu and quirky Alice in Wonderland-inspired decor. Staff are always ready with excellent advice on drink choices. My favourite is the Diplomatico Reserva Rum Old Fashioned. "Tipsy Tea" is a high tea with a cocktail twist served every Saturday afternoon. Awesome couple of cocktails served with a course of savoury nibbles then a course of sweets (oh, so sweet). All for a very reasonable per person price. Suits a more mature clientele. In a hidden but nice position right in the centre of town.
