Another one of our favs for lunch or dinner. Always busy so you'll have to wait for a table but well worth it. Put your name down on the list then grab a drink at Bardeaux or Barmuda down the alley

Being from Sydney we find this restaurant a bit over priced for the food served, but it is still nice. A drink out the front in front of the fire is more our style
