We had another fantastic evening at The Apprentice. Just wonderful! There was a slight timing delay between entree and main, but the kitchen recovered quickly, and the teamwork was a credit to the students. Well done!

We love eating at Bellbird. Today the food was delicious and the service excellent. The staff really help make the experience enjoyable, including turning down the music a little. One of the reasons we like fining here is that we can comfortably chat with each other without having to worry about other noise. Look forward to being able to sit on the verandah again and also better light quality once the entrance is reopened.
