    I am very fussy about my dining experiences. It has to be value for money while also satisfying my need for service quality and gorgeous food. Wow! Courtney room is my new favorite restaurant. The room is beautiful and the service friendly and oh so professional. The food is beautiful and focused on local sourcing. That crab ravioli and focaccia bread. I could eat it every day. So well done! Magnolia Hotel is a lovely place to stay to enjoy a complete night out.

    This is a great value for money especially for happy hour. Good wine and tasty food - we had wings and spinach & artichoke dip. The view of the parliament buildings across the harbour is stunning. The staff are friendly and attentive. We came for happy hour at 4 pm and the place was quiet but as it filled up (towards 6pm when it was packed) it did get noisier. Overall we really enjoy coming to this restaurant. We are locals, and have been here before and will come again. And again… :-)
