“Had dinner in Mandy's Restaurant, what a lovely night out. Everything that was served was fresh and tasted amazing. Also loved the innovative menu, like the kholrabi stack and the kale in caper butter. And the curry was superb. Wonderful service and a beautiful view topped off a great night. Would definitely eat there again.” – Lee, Brisbane.
