Salad was ok, better with the extra virgin olive oil (available upon request). Garlic bread. The braised beef was pretty much economy fare...and disappointing (should have picked the prawn pasta instead). Ice cream with strawberries was good. I thought this was dished out but when I had a second helping (+1) I found out it came as is frozen. The satay service was a life saver and really saved the poor main meals. The marinated prawn salad was good but the baked Hapuka exclusively created by Matthew Moran of Aria Restaurant in Sydney sucked. Should have picked he mushroom fettucine instead. It was too fishy tasting and I could only manage a couple of bites.....so did everyone else who picked this meal. I guess I won't be visiting Aria in Sydney anytime soon. Also metal knives issued (+1). Also pictured is instant noodle which was available on request another life saver. Excellent SQ service as usual.
