Go to Bokchoy Tang regularly with the family and we love the food. Food is always consistent and the staff remember us making it a very enjoyable evening. The servings are large and given its location it is value for money. Recommend the place, i suggest skip the entrees and order the mains as they are really very tasty, especially the poached szechwan fish, the eggplant hotpot and the spicy prawn.

Absolutely love the food here. Have to admit it is a bit on the pricey side, but well worth it. We go to the bar upstairs about an hour before the time our table is booked in the restaurant downstairs. This gives you time to enjoy a drink or two in the more brighter lit area of Nobu and have a few dishes from their taps menu which are cheaper in the bar than the restaurant. Have the Miso cod, king crab legs, pork belly in the bar, then order the rest downstairs. And do try the Green tea mousse....yum. It is always a pleasant experience dining here, the staff is very polite and proffessional.

Went to Movida Aqui on 5th of march to celebrate my daughters birthday. I had booked a table for that night well in advance as it was a special occassion. I did mention when booking that it we were celebrating a birthday and asked if they do anything to make it special. I was told that when i ordered desserts they would put some candles on the plate and surprise my daughter with it. On the night we were there we ordered their dessert platter and waited and waited and waited ...for half an hour. I got up and tried to discreetely get the attention of the hostess who was serving us and mentioned about the birthday and candles and asked why it was taking so long. She replied that dessert and candles would soon be on our table. Finally when the platter came out NO CANDLES. We started eating dissappointd that the evening did not end as planned for my daughters special night. The hostess did not even have the decency to come up to me to explain what happened. I had to finally call her over and ask her. Apparently they ran out of candles. Just a brief sorry and that was it. I called up Movida next day and spoke to someone about my dining experience. She apologised and said that they would give me priority as it takes along time ot get a booking at their restaurant. As if I will be coming back in a hurry.Very dissappointed as it was meant to be a surprise birthday celebration. Overall food is good but a bit overpriced

Went to Spot for lunch today and was dissappointed. Ordered the Corn fritters which i have had on a previous visit. Earlier they were made with fresh corn were light and crisp and tasted fantastic The recipe must have changed they came out like thick doughy pancakes with frozen corn and tasteless. My daughter ordered the Gnocci which was more an entree sized serve rather than main. no value for money there. Have to say we were greeted pleasantly on arrival by the male staff member but his attitude changed when i presented my Entertainment discount voucher. He made a face and gave me a rude look handed my change and that was it. No more pleasantries from this man. Definitely not coming back. If they are not happy to get customers with vouchers they should not advertise their cafe in the book. Definitely overpriced if not using the discount voucher.

Approximate cost: $16
