Our meal:

$157 for two entrees, two main courses, one dessert and five glasses of wine.

Wine list:

Dominated by New Zealand wines, reasonably priced and with a small selection by the glass. Palliser Estate sauvignon blanc $42, Stoneleigh Rapaura Series pinot noir $53

Verdict:

The setting is stunning and the service friendly, but the decor is dated and the menu could do with a good dollop of inspiration
