I came here two years ago with friends and ordered the prawn linguine and some sides, the food was so good. I visited again today and had the focaccia bread for $12 and it wasn’t even fresh which was annoying. The crab linguine was cold and tasted very average for the price. The prawn risotto was also disappointing. I was expecting the food to be somewhat appetising considering the price. The service was great though but unfortunately won’t be going back.

Held a private function here for 50 people and the venue is amazing. Truly on the river, watched the sun set over the water from the deck with a glass of champagne. The venue is magnificent, the food was terrific and the service was warm and welcoming. Many of our guests commented on what a special place it is. Thanks to the team at Bass and Flinders for making our event memorable.
