Mietta's Review
The hottest place in Adelaid when it opened a few years ago but the passing of time has taken its toll. Of course, the situation is still terrific - one can just come in for a glass of wine or sit at a table and dine and the wine list is still excellent. But, it needs a good shake to revive the excitement of the old days.
