Dined with a girlfriend on Friday night. Her first visit, my second. Chose the banquet.
Entrees - vege samosa with lime, calamari and a third item I have forgotten (oops). The samosas were an absolute standout and I'm sure that's why I've forgotten the third item.
Mains of spanish mackeral with a curry temura style batter (hard to describe) that were amazing, chicken green curry with that great sweet and sour bite, and beef randang that was very tasty but a bit tough. Lovely fresh greens and condiments on a side platter beautifully presented.
Desert (we were stuffed but couldn't turn back :)...) was lemon grass brulee (devine), coconut rice pudding, and those little green pancakes they do at Bay Leaf, with the sweet rice stuffing. Yummy!
The desserts were a bit slow coming and the coffee was nearly finished before they arrived but well worth waiting for.
We took our bottle of NZ Sav Blanc and received fast, attentive service although they were packed.
$38 head plus the coffees. Fantastic value for money. Next time I would share two banquests between 3 people and then we could have eaten everything - always feel guilty not clearing my plate :)

entrees sublime. but mains not so. fish cooked well and very tasty. lamb not so: dry and dull. great splodges of orange sweet potato is not good enough. the orange variety is the least of the sweet potatoes as well. service a bit more than satisfactory.

For your info - bottleshop next to Iga in Aplin street is now open. Also dined at Lemonade tree last wednesday evening, was a truly fabulous meal. Beautiful fresh flavours and great sized meals. Dessert was amazing - Lemongrass infused Creme Brulee,an absolute must. Also love the BYO, a shame other restuarants don't offer this option, they are all too bloody greedy!! Keep up the great work Ray. Kellie & Allan

Any idea when the Woolies bottle shop mentioned will be open - be up there in May and looking for a bottle shop near the esplanade with resonable prices.

I LOVE this restaurant. I was a HUGE fan of these guys when they ran Star Apple at Yorkeys and devistated when they moved.

The food is gorgeously fresh, and wonderfully aromatic and perfectly compliments a hot tropical eve. Matched only by service that is attentive, personalised and engaging . Alleluia! They're back.

My family ate their last night and we had the pork belly curry (amazing!), the penang curry (spicy!), the lamb shanks (tender!) and the salmon.

All of the meals were of an adequate size and the $25 price tag was of excellent value for money.

Highly recommended as per the author's views.

Snoogies in the city is the way best value and yummiest drinks. Like smoothies juices, double value of any other juice bar anywhere!
