When you say A-La-Carte, what exactly does that mean?
A-La-Carte dinning is about being able to decide from a list of many different dishes, we take it a step further. We prepare your meal as you order it, nothing is pre-cooked or pre-prepared. None of our sauces or bases comes from a pre-fabricated mix, all are made from the freshest ingredients. This allows you to make changes to the menu if it is required. For example, you don't like mushrooms or you love mushrooms, we can remove or add them according to your needs. All you need to do is ask.
Because we believe a meal is to be enjoyed, every dish is made from the base up as ordered. Time is taken to ensure it is just right, succulent steaks, rich decadent pastas, plump prawns, they all take time. Sit back and relax, enjoy a glass of wine and be prepared to indulge your senses.

Why am I being charged Corkage for bringing my own wine?
When dining in a fully licensed restaurant there are a few things you should be aware of, especially when it comes to corkage. We don't charge you corkage because it is added revenue. We need to take into account glassware (both purchases and breakages), disposal of empty bottles, many kilos of ice, additional staff to pour, serve, decantering if required, keeping your bottle chilled, the storage of the bottles, the cost of the laundry (red wine stains alway are hard work) and the cost of a liquor license. We therefore charge a reasonable corkage to offset these costs.
Many people argue about the high price of restaurant supplied wines, in addition to the above stated reasons, when a restaurant has a liquor license and wine list, their staff must have participated and be accredited in "responsible alcohol service". Most restaurants are unable to buy wine in bulk in the same way a liquor store can, we don't have copious amounts of storage, and then you also have to factor in breakages.
In charging you for corkage, we are not trying to penalise you for bringing in your own wine, we are happy for you to do so, corkage is merely charged to ensure that we are not penalised for letting you.
