The Long Apron

Overall was a great dining experience! Staff were really quite attentive (though did drop the ball with a gluten free dietary requirement when delivering dessert - quickly rectified and they were apologetic). Cocktail in the garden before dinner was really nice, and a great setting for a pre-dinner drink. My wife and I had the 5 Course Tasting Menu, with matching wines for one. Two of the five dishes were absolutely stellar and well worth the money (fish & beef - possibly one of the best beef dishes I have ever had), one was good (opera gateau), and two I did not enjoy at all (vichyssoise & scallop). Scallop itself was presented raw in thin strips, and lacked flavour, and the tomato portion of the dish was underwhelming. The vichyssoise had an oil with dried / burnt chunks of herbs that completely overthrew the entire dish and left a bad taste that even the matching wine couldn't help (I must add that the matching wines were really good, and paired well with each dish). Would we go back? Absolutely! Would we do the tasting menu again? No - for $140.00pp and only two or three good dishes, that unfortunately still left us not quite full by the end, we would probably do the 3 Course A La Carte instead. In addition to being cheaper ($95.00pp), the portions were larger and we could pick things that we would better enjoy.

Amazing venue, staff and food. Catered well for gluten free/coeliac.
