Mietta's Review
This very plush restaurant has been on the Canberra scene since 1968 - it is part of history. The service is professional, and the food is well priced considering the setting. The wine list is good, and changes regularly. Lunch is in the attached Rose Garden Cafe which has outside seating and a simplified menu. The views of the rose garden vary with the time of year. The ownership changed in early 2004.
