Service:
It was non existent, I stood up, waved my hands (more than once) but there was no way you could get their attention. Their heads were glued to looking at computer screens. In the end, I just helped myself to cutlery
Presentation:
The Antipasta was good, excellent Parma ham, salmon and the usual assortmant of goodies. The main course was a beef steak done blue, I must admit they did know how to cook a steak, however I think it could have done with a bit more ageing. Dessert was a wattle seed pear tart, plus a choclate mousse cherry thingy something, and yes, it was excellent.
Wine List:
Very extensive, prices a bit over the top, I had the Yarra Glen 2001 (very Nice). It would be good to see MORE wines by the glass. Rather than just the few on offer. The wine by the glass was ok, just not many.
Value for
Money:
When you look at the service, Ambience and food quality it was at best "just only " There were redeeming qualities, the food prepared by the chiefs was above average. But was it value for money ?? Not really, but than again how much choice do you get in Alice Spings.
Ambience:
Lets just say it was an upmarket cafateria, cold and austere, very large and not much atmosphere.
The feel
good factor:
There was not much feel good about it. If you are looking for a top notch dinning experience you will not find it here. It was not bad, it just wasn't good.
