Service:
The waiter was new, and although he tried hard and was clear he
had no experience. But with that said, he managed to get the orders
right and was friendly.
Presentation:
I ordered the Gnocchi, it was rather
average and nothing to get excited about. The menu was basic, and
a disproportionate amount of Pizza was available. This was not to
say it was bad, just nothing outstanding. The menu was limited.
I did speak to the owner and he is working hard to build up the
restaurant.
Wine
List:
Small but adequate for this type of restaurant.
Value
for Money:
Value was not too bad, most of the main courses
were in the $18.00 to $22 range. And the portion was adequate.
Ambience:
It was warm and VERY friendly, everyone
knew everyone else, I guess this is the value of this restaurant.
It was NOT fine dining but it was a very friendly place and I would
say the most convivial place I have visited so far.
The
feel good factor:
Quite good, I would go again just to meet
the locals. And have some basic nosh and a quaffing red to boot.
Just OK
