   Had the kingfish sashimi and the scallops for starter ...scallops are a bit gravy but the sashimi is excellent. Then we had the eye filet and I must say that this is one of the best meat I ever had (1st being Rockpool bar and grill Sydney). A bit noisy but overall experience was really enjoyable ! I recommend

   Absolutely delicious food. A bit of a price tag, but it’s so good. A date night worthy meal. We ate the beef tartare and yellowfin tuna for entree, both were brilliant. I had the Eye Fillet which was one of the best steaks I’ve ever had, husband had a prime rib which he absolutely loved. Get the chimichurri sauce on the side with the steak, plus some mustard when they bring you your steak. Enjoyed the cocktails as well. Would happily go back!

   The food and service were amazing. We had the vodka pasta as an entree and it’s is plenty to share between 2 or even 3. We also had the scallops - oh my goodness. The chicken main dish was not our favourite but the eye filler and mash were the best I have had on the GC. You can not fault the wine selection or the service.

   Our recent visit to Lars was unfortunately disappointing, falling short of the expectations we had for a refined dining experience. While the restaurant shows potential, several aspects of the evening left us dissatisfied. Ambiance and Seating Upon arrival, we were met with an indifferent welcome and seated at a central table near the open kitchen. Excessive noise levels, which made conversation difficult, and the unappealing view of the street through large, uncovered windows, The sheer curtains could have been drawn to make the dining experience more intimate The table service was lackluster and rushed. Plates were not carefully presented but rather placed down with little care, creating a sense of disregard for the diners’ experience. This lack of attention to detail did not align with the standards one would expect from a restaurant aspiring to offer a high-end dining experience. Menu Options The cocktail menu was limited, although the option to request classic cocktails was appreciated. The entrée menu lacked variety, offering few choices for diners who do not eat seafood or meat. A greater selection, including lighter options, would have been welcomed to cater to broader dietary preferences. Food Quality The highlight of the evening was the eye fillet, which was beautifully cooked, tender, and flavorful. Unfortunately, this single standout dish could not redeem the overall experience. Overall Experience While the food showed moments of excellence, the lack of ambiance, inattentive service, and limited menu left us feeling disappointed. Lars has potential but would benefit from improvements in both service quality and attention to the dining environment. At present, it is unlikely we would return without significant changes.

   We got a table at the bar in the corner. It was so warm. The restaurant was quite noisy.
