A birthday dinner with mixed opinions.The entrees, starters and sparkling wine options were excellent and all of our diners were impressed. The calamari and Chicken wontons in particular were favourites.Unfortunately the Tortellini ordered for mains from two at our table were both underwhelmed. The pasta tasted cold and undercooked, rather than al dente. There was limited sauce/flavours to compensate this for their dishes.Alternatively the dusk breast was delicious, especially the sauce and the only fault would be the portion size.The wine list is extensive, although mostly for bottle purchases, therefore only one glass of rose' was possible. This choice was regretted instantly after trying the wine. The Rose' was dark red which usually resembles a stronger body (Grenache/Sangiovese undertones), instead the 'Pink Claw' tasted young and unfinished although boasted a dry finish.We decided to skip dessert and opt for another option elsewhere.The ambience was pleasant, albeit simple decor with limited view of the river due to the window sill obscuring the vista. The service was pleasant and consistent with wait times a little longer than expected with less than half the restaurant full.The prices are excessive for the quality of food. When you pay fine dining prices there's an expectation to meet a high standard, which was only maintained across the starters and entrees.There's certainly potential for the restaurant to improve in a town where there is limited fine dining options.

I did a Trip Advisor search for lunch near me as usual and this place came up. Really good selection of things to eat.Coffee was really good and we had the Philly cheese steak roll with chips and it was very yummy.The place is very busy and quite noisy but if you are prepared to share a table, it's fine.I think we will be back before we leave to try some of the many yummy looking cakes.Hi Lisalace1,Thank you for choosing to spend your lunch time with us! We pride ourselves on our lunch time selection, so are really glad you enjoyed it. We do acknowledge that we can get quite busy during peak periods - but the noise and the buzz that comes with that is part of what makes our arcade what it is. Definitely come back and try some of our cakes - thanks again for stopping by and leaving your kind review!

We booked dinner for two, and were pleased with a nice inside table by the window. Speedy, friendly service. The menu is interesting and eclectic. We enjoyed the scallops to start, with piquant pickled blueberries. Our mains were excellent; the duck was delightful, with an amazing sauce, and the gnocchi with prawns was very good. The desserts were also great, with interesting flavours. Staff were attentive throughout the meal. Highly recommended.
