Andrew, Ron, Megan, John, Jim, Karen.  Kim had a cold

 We had Crispy Duck Pancakes, Chicken with Dry long Beans stir fried; stuffed eggplant; rock salted soft shell crab; wasabi King Island Steake, Sizzling Fish with giner and shallots.

 The duck pancakes were delish, fantastic, excellent, almost the best we've ever had?

The beef had a not too hot wasabi flavour, was lovely and tender, with mushrooms.  It was  the standout favourite of the night.   The beans had a lovely smokey flavour, stirfried with black beans and bits of chilli;  the fish was lovely but a bit bland. It had a nice ginger flavour and  was a nice contrast to the other dishes which was needed though it was a it overwhelmed by the richness of the other dishes.  The Eggplant was really nice with a strong garlic, black bean and chilli flavour and the crab was the nicest we've had for months also.

 And the desserts were just fabulous.

A great meal, not a single dish which was not good, we enjoyed them all.  The service was quick, restaurant was a bit noisy, but not over noisy, we could hear ourselves talk.  Always reliable.
