Went to Brunello for my husband's birthday dinner. The food was good, they did great cocktails and even brought a complimentary dessert with candle as a special birthday tribute. However, it was so quiet - we were the only ones in the restaurant - the tables & chairs were so low it made sitting difficult (you ended up hunched over) and with no air con it was uncomfortably hot. Perhaps the focus on style is at the expense of customers comfort which detracts from the meal.

Excellent unobtrusive service in a very sophistocated room. Superior food especially the goat cheese salad with beet emusion, the artichoke and pecorino cheese risotto, lamb loin and the fried King prawns. Great food!
