Appellation Australia

Cuisine: Modern Australia, with some French technique.
Service: Not too bad, veered between overly casual and professional.
Food: Excellent. On par with pretty much anything in Sydney.
Value: Good. Food costs were in the region of $150 a head which covered 6 courses, three small extras, coffee, petit fours as well as the short boat trip there and back.
Glassware: Riedel
Wine list: Decent. Markups not too outrageous. Could really use some good German Riesling though.
Score: 17.5/20
