  Lastly but not the least, the manager was also rather rude to us and told us off after we had a few drinks and started talking with each other with a bit raised voice and had a couple of laughs. We have a very big group and this situation was unfortunately unavoidable. In reality, Who would just eat their food and without having a few cracked jokes at the table? especially after some alcohol? The public dinning section was even noisier and we could literally hear anything out there including the noise from the kitchen. The manager kept on saying they are a 'fine dinning restaurant' not a public pub while we could not even complain how noisy their public section was!

  I understand that they might be proud/snobby of their restaurant but humiliating their customers? Is this how a manager of a 'fine dinning' restaurant treat his customers?? I also saw a online review saying Waqu restaurant manager taught the good-mannered customers a lesson how to discipline their young kids and did not want them being in the restaurant. That was actually pathetic.

  Just sharing our bad experience to everyone for your information. I would say this had been the weirdest restaurant we have ever been. We were all very disappointed with this restaurant and will NEVER go back again.   (February, 2013)

  My husband and I have lived in Crows Nest for 17 years. We have ventured around the last 6 months and have found this restaurant to be great value. Even the wine list is reasonable, however, they do not hesitate to let you know that it is also BYO (wine only) Highly recommended from a couple to go out for dinner 1 - 2 times a week (Robyn May 2009)   (Robyn - May, 2009)

  Excellent food served at comfortable intervals. We had the 5 course Summer menu. Tables very well spaced which provides intimacy and not too vocal crowd.   (MickR - February, 2009)

  We came here for Valentine's day, and were force to drive. Of course we wanted the Tasting Menu with matching wines. So the staff offered to drive the car around the back and leave it in their car space overnight. Amazing service!

  The food was great, perhaps the wines could have been matched a bit better but that is a very difficult task. Thanks for making such a great night!   (James - See my reviews (8) - March, 2008)

  A pleasant dining experience with friendly, professional staff. The decor provides for an intimate but casual dining experience. The food comes in large portions recommended for sharing. The presentation was well executed- simple yet profound. Take note that the restaurant is obscure to find- it does not feature any protruding signage but is in the flavour of capturing a quiet and relaxed dining experiencce.   (Jenjen - See my reviews (16) - May, 2007)
